Basically Dookie is fantastic, and everything else isn't as good. I only heard Warning once, but I think that's probably my second favorite album after Dookie. The singles have always been pretty good though.

I was actually referring to the hidden track on Kerplang or WTF-ever that's totally country and has their drummer singing.

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Arrested For Drunk Driving

Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong was arrested early Sunday in Berkeley, California, for driving under the influence.

The punk-rocker was pulled over just before 1 a.m. after authorities spotted his black BMW convertible speeding, according to Berkeley Police spokesperson Mary Kusmiss.

After Armstrong failed sobriety and Breathalyzer tests, he was taken to jail and booked for misdemeanor drunk driving. He was released later that morning on $1,200 bail and will be arraigned later this month.

Kusmiss said the 30-year-old singer was "very cooperative" and did not inform authorities of his celebrity.

Green Day's latest album, the rarities collection Shenanigans, was released in July (see "Green Day Call Shenanigans With Rarities List"), and the band recently contributed to Iggy Pop's upcoming LP. Green Day are working on a new album in their native Bay Area.

And outside of music, Armstrong recently played a high-rolling gambler on an episode of UPN's "Haunted."

A spokesperson for Armstrong did not return calls for comment.

Once Green Day realised the Blink were better at being Green Day than they were, they tried to be mature; unfortunately for them they didn't have the chops to become a mega-power ballad rawk monstrosity a la Bon Jovi so they just wrote better songs. I thought it worked but nobody bought their record, not even me.

maybe my favorite off of Insomniac, lyrics & relentless repetitive riff sum up the spirit of the album better than any other
