Drama-Free Jan Posted April 2 Posted April 2 International Superhits was one of my first 3 CDs so I don't wanna hear any slander about my age. They still played the stuff on MTV years later and pretty sure basket case was the biggest one on youtube they had for a while. Quote

And you're not. Quote

And you're not. I was old enough to have Basket Case be my first Green Day song heard though.. Blink similarly with Dammit/Josie videos floating around. But I did hear WMAA & ATST first admittedly. That was on all the kids stations too and MTV was easily accessible from the downstairs basement TV. Quote

I just don't see how this input is relevant to a discussion about whether Green Day's biggest singles in the '90s were as commercially successful at that time as they're sometimes made out to be these days. 2 Quote
thongrider Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I remember listening to Shenanigans at the record store in 2002 because I likes Basket Case. And I hated the Fang cover they did. And pretty much disliked it all. Went back and listened to Nimrod a few months later and loving it and bought it. Then I bought superhits. Since we didn't get the real GD albums in Norway I had to go the UK to buy Kerplunk and was so shocked they had another album. When I heard 2000 Lightyears Away I was sold. Quote

I was only 5 at the time, but I feel they were much bigger than most of us younger folks can remember. American Idiot songs were so huge, and I feel like Dookie was even bigger. Quote

Stupid streaming makes it too easy/accessible. 1 Quote
