May 15, 2009 · Green Day originally did Dreaming, Like a Rolling Stone, My Generation, Working Class Hero and other songs.
- St. Jimmy (American Idiot, 2004) Jesus Of Suburbia might’ve been American Idiot’s protagonist, and Whatsername his almost-saviour, but St. Jimmy represented the punk fire burning within.
- She (Dookie, 1994) There’s a thinking that by the time Warner dropped the fifth and final single off Dookie in May 1995, the levels of Green Day in the public consciousness had reached saturation point, resulting in it being the only one not to reach the Top 40.
- Basket Case (Dookie, 1994) ‘Do you have the time to listen to me whine / About nothing and everything all at once?’ Perhaps the most forehead-slappingly obvious inclusion on this list, Basket Case has long since entered the punk pantheon as an all-time classic but it’s nonetheless worth stopping to remind ourselves just how much it means to fans today.
- Burnout (Dookie, 1994) ‘I’m not growing up, I’m just burning out…’ Longview might’ve been Dookie’s lead single, but album opener Burnout is the real intro to those 40 minutes of punk paradise for the millions of fans who’ve spun the record since.
- Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) [Official Music Video] [4K UPGRADE] Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) is an odd choice to place at the top of a list of Green Day songs, mainly because it was a marked departure from their signature sound when it was released in 1997.
- Basket Case. Green Day - Basket Case [Official Music Video] Green Day put itself on the map and earned a place among the bands that brought alternative rock into the mainstream with their third studio album Dookie in 1994.
- When I Come Around. Green Day - When I Come Around [Official Music Video] (4K Upgrade) Basket Case wasn’t the only song that made Dookie one of the best alternative albums ever.
- Wake Me Up When September Ends. Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends [Official Music Video] Wake Me Up When September Ends is one of Green Day’s biggest hits and one of the first songs that come to mind when you think of the band.
- "My Generation" - The Who. Buy Song: [youtube=iA24RBhugEU] I hope you guys enjoyed my list of Green Day's top 10 covers! Thanks for reading, and I hope you get a chance to listen to each and every one of these great songs.
- "Working Class Hero" - John Lennon. John Lennon released this just after his Beatles career ended in 1971. In 2007, many notable artists (including Green Day, of course) teamed up to cover some of the most famous John Lennon songs for the "Instant Karma: The Campaign to Save Darfur" charity album.
- "We Are the Champions" - Queen. First things first: if you listen to this song and don't immediatelyfeel like you want to kick some ass, there's something wrong with you.
- "Blitzkrieg Bop" - The Ramones. The iconic "Blitzkrieg Bop" appeared on The Ramones' first album in 1976. Since then, the song has become an undisputed anthem for punk rock fans.
