OK, I love Green Day and always will. But is it just me, or do other people besides me find "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life" to be the most depressing song ever written? It was played at my 8th grade graduation a good, long five years ago, and it almost made me cry then. It still makes me cry now. They played it at a co-worker's friend's funeral. I love that song, but it depresses me to death. Vote that this review was helpful if you find that song to be melancholy/depressing... no if you don't. Thanks. I thought this would be a good way of learning if I'm not the only one.

I've always loved Green Day, who were at their peak in 1994 and enjoyed many other hits afterwards, including Brain Stew, Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), and Minority. Even with an album that only came out less than two years ago (Warning), Green Day is getting less and less recognition. With newer pop-punk bands such as Blink 182, Sum 41 and New Found Glory becoming more popular, Green Day has been ignored.

Let's get to the point. International Superhits is great for the casual listener, or just someone who wants to rediscover them. But unless you desperately want to hear Maria and Poprocks and Coke (which are decent songs), or J.A.R, I wouldn't recommend this to the fan who already has all of their Reprise releases. Unless you want a good cd to listen to all the way through, which this certainly is.

The songs are all good! There is not one song I can't listen to...truthfully, there isn't one song I don't like by Green Day. The two new songs, as previously mentioned, are both good...the catchy, but somewhat repetitive Maria, and the poppy love song of Poprocks and Coke, but they're not much compared to the others. You'll get every Green Day hit on this CD, from their first single (and possibly one of their best songs) Longview, to the timeless classic Good Riddance, to the melodic Waiting, the somewhat harsher Geek Stink Breath and Brain Stew, and the lesser known Walking Contradiction and She...they're all here. Green Day is a fun band to listen to, and this is a nice representation of them.

One thing that slightly peeved me is that there are no songs from their Lookout releases on here. I can't say I liked 1039 SOSH, but Kerplunk is my second favorite (after Nimrod). Beware! When you buy this, you're not getting the full Green Day experience...there are great songs such as Going to Pasalacqua, 2000 Light Years Away, Christie Road, and many others that aren't on here!

Oh yeah, if you want more Green Day, check out all 6 of their albums, you'll find some good songs that weren't played on the radio. They include, but aren't limited to, 86, Stuart and The Ave., Westbound Sign, Scattered, Jinx/Haushinka, Prosthetic Head ... Castaway, and Misery. ...

If you're that person who has heard songs like Longview and Good Riddance on the radio and liked them, but has never bought a Green Day release, by all means BUY THIS! Green Day fans with the entire collection, you may not want to get this unless you need something to top it all off or are just mad for the song J.A.R.

And J.A.R is a great song.

I don't care what anyone says. Green Day is one of my favorite bands. They are one of the main reasons for me listening to music. I've liked them since sixth grade, and they're still around. They put out great music all the time. Sure, people have given them a hard time, but I really don't see why. They are a great group who can still come up with great songs.

This CD is their greatest hits album. It contains many hits, like "Longview," "Basket Case," "Stuck with Me," "Walking Contradiction," and many more. From "Dookie" to "Warning," this CD has it all. There are even two bonus tracks, which are new songs, and one song that you could only get from a movie sountrack. It's too bad that there aren't any songs from the first two albums, but I guess that's because none of them became top hits. Though, they still could've been included somehow. Other than that, this album is pretty much perfect!

If you love Green Day, then this CD is for you! It has all of the top hits on it. I'm glad that they finally came out with a greatest hits album. It's about time.

These guys are amazing talents. I've loved their music ever since Dookie, and have since gone back and gotten some of their earlier stuff. You can see (and hear) their growth as writers and musicians, culminating with American Idiot, probably the best rock album in many years. They're brash, naughty, irreverant, they don't toe the company line, everything a rock/punk band should be! By the way, I am a 44-year-old mother of three, two of which are teenagers. I would rather them listen to Green Day, swears and all, (I'm not naiive enough to think they've never heard them before), than Britney/Lindsay etc.

This Green Day greatest-hits CD contains various hits & singles from their 1994 to 2000 releases, totaling up to 21 tracks, 1 hour and 43 seconds. There are two songs, however, that are entirely brand new -- "Maria" and "Poprocks & Coke" -- recorded just a couple of months before they released this album. But fear not, these new additions are good and do belong on this compilation.

The mood on this CD varies from song to song. Though some songs tend to sound similar rhythmically and/or musically, the differences are noticeable. In fact, that's why Green Day is so relevant to this day. Their sound is consistent, always managing to remain young and fresh.

Whether you're a long-time fan or a new-comer to Green Day, you'll enjoy and cherish this CD. It is simply their best work up to their 2000 "Warning" LP. Now, be aware that all of the songs contained in International Superhits! are way too cool to just rate them here individually or give simple explanations of why they're so awesome. 21 cool songs for one sweet price -- how cool is that?! Buy this great, high-quality CD, and you'll see why Green Day is so popular.

Please notice that if you like Green Day's fabulous approach to Punk Rock, you should also look into their latest album, "American Idiot," which contains their newest singles and radio hits.
