All week I've been listening to a live radio set by the band from this era, and I totally forgot how much these songs rule. This is the debut full-length (39 Smooth) along with the bands first 2 EP's (1000 Hours and Slappy) on one release. Really great punk-rock that is *gasp* pretty poppy. The musicianship is stellar too, Mike Dirnt always lays out a great bass-line and Billie Joe solos all over this thing. Forget about the garbage this band puts out now, Green Day peaked 15 years ago and have been on a steady decline ever since.
