Green Day

Check out these underrated Green Day tracks!

Green Day is back after four years with their new album, Saviors. The band went back into the studio with long-time, legendary producer Rob Cavallo to release one of the biggest albums of the year - not just in the punk scene, but within the music arena in general. To coincide with the release of Green Day’s fourteenth(!) studio album, the Punknews crew dug through the band’s discography to find what they deem to be Green Day’s most underrated tunes.

The only rule for a song to make the list: a music video couldn’t have been shot for it.

Think we missed one? Post your favorite, underrated Green Day song in the comments below!
