lol... 'way back'.
I was a fan of Green Day 'way back' when they released Kerplunk and covered Operation Ivy songs. They had long gone the route of complete suck before American Idiot was released.
I'd consider Dookie their last good album. It was all down hill after that. And if I'm not mistaken, Dookie followed Kerplunk in release order, meaning they made 2, may 3 good albums counting the rerelease of two previous demos on one album (39 smooth happy slappy hours... or whatever it was called).
There where a couple of really good songs off that album. Shame they couldn't keep that type of drive going. Paper Lanterns is still a fav of mine.
