Disagree on Green Day and SoaD, imo American Idiot is green days best album and Mezmerize and Hypnotize are slightly better than Toxicity.

I just really don't like Daron's voice 😂

As for Green Day, I feel like American idiot is the album where we could see they were really letting go of their punk roots and wanted to make stuff that would sell... But Dookie was my first cassette ever so I'm biased.

Yeah that's fair, and dookie is a really good album, though I do like american idiot more. Jesus of Suburbia, Homecoming, Holiday, Boulevard and American Idiot are just such bangers and the concept of the album is just really cool.
