Top Five Green Day Albums

To celebrate the release of Saviors, here's a list of my favorite Green Day albums! Note: I have been a fan of theirs since 1992.

Revolution Radio

Tell me to pick my favorite song from this album, and I simply couldn't do it. It speaks do me in a way that no other Green Day album has.

2. American Idiot

Do I really need to say anything? It's a masterpiece!

3. 21st Century Breakdown

I liked all of these songs immensely except for "21 Guns". The line "one, twenty-one guns" grates on my ears, and I don't why. I'll blame my sensory processing issues.

4. Saviors

This album may have just released, but I already know it belongs in the top five. Some of the songs have an American Idiot vibe and others remind me of their earlier stuff. So far, I really like "Father to a Son", "Goodnight Adeline", and "Dilemma".

5. Warning

Here's the precursor to American Idiot. I played "Macy's Day Parade" and "Church on Sunday" one too many times, and now the songs are permanently seared into my brain.

Honorable Mention:

Dookie

As a adolescent, I played this album on repeat. And the album cover is truly amazing and awesome!

Well, that's all I have for today. Until next time, take care and stay curious.

Lights of Egan is a new songwriting/recording collaboration between myself - Cameron DeVries, and Ira Denis. We plan to release our first single, Crystal Kinda Girl, set for a tentative date of January 10, 2025. It will feature the very talented English singer/songwriter Daniel Sitch aka Cregalodon, whose recent single releases include "Bluebird" and "Tainted" (instagram @danielxsitch). Our song CKG is being produced by the skilled Nir Tsfaty, from Australia, who writes, produces, and performs a ton of his own great original music (instagram @nirtsfaty) #LightsofEgan #CrystalKindaGirl #NewMusicComingSoon

Release: October 10, 2004

Lyrics:

It's quiet now and what it brings is everything

Comes calling back, a brilliant night, I'm still awake

I looked ahead, I'm sure I saw you there

You don't need me to tell you now that nothing can compare

You might have laughed if I told you

You might have hidden your frown

You might have succeeded in changing me

I might have been turned around

It's easier to leave than to be left behind

Leaving was never my proud

Leaving New York, never easy

I saw the light fading out

Now life is sweet, and what it brings I tried to take

But loneliness, it wears me out, it lies in wait

And all not lost, still in my eye

Shadow of necklace across your thigh

I might've lived my life in a dream, but I swear, this is real

Memory fuses and shatters like glass

Mercurial future, forget the past

It's you, it's what I feel

You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)

You might have hidden your frown (change)

You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)

I might have been turned around (change)

It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)

Leaving was never my proud (change)

Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out

You find it in your heart

It's pulling me apart

You find it in your heart

Change

I told you forever (find it in your heart)

I love you forever (it's pulling me apart)

I told you I love you (find it in your heart)

I love you forever (change)

I told you forever (find it in your heart)

I love you forever (it's pulling me apart)

I told you I love you (find it in your heart)

I love you forever (change)

You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)

You might have hidden your frown (change)

You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)

I might have been turned around (change)

It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)

Leaving was never my proud (change)

Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out (change)

Songwriter:

Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out (change)

Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out (change)

Great Things about Being a Spooky Adult

— Decorating your office/cubicle/desk with Halloween decor and spooky office accessories.

— Driving into the parking lot with your windows rolled up as your beloved dark tunes rattle the windows. And on the drive home, destressing by turning on a playlist composed of songs about vampires and graveyards.

— Incorporating your dark aesthetic into your work wear such as bat earrings and Tim Burton-y striped blouses.

— Going to run errands and seeing a group of black clad teens outside of Hot Topic huddled together reading manga. Then feeling the crushing urge to pinch their cheeks, clean up their eyeliner with a makeup wipe, and hand them all cupcakes with bats sprinkles.

— Treating yourself for all your hardwork by purchasing from all the cool Goth brands that your teen self couldn't afford.

— Seeing all the elitists, bullies, and gatekeepers from your days of youth grow out of it and become the very thing they mocked.

Please add your own! :)

Today's compilation:

The Water Music Compilation Album 1988 Pop-Rock / Adult Alternative / Power Pop / New Wave / Americana

I really wish I had something good to say about this album so I could write glowingly about the small and humble beginnings of the highly trafficked recording studio that all its songs were recorded in, but, truth be told, there's really not a single track on this LP that's actually very good at all. An assortment of very ephemeral acts that you've never heard of, contributing mostly exclusive songs, a lot of which almost sound like they were striving to get into adult alternative radio rotation back in 1988, despite their total obscurity. Just pretty uninteresting rock material that I would care to not ever hear again, to be honest 😒.

But Hoboken, New Jersey's Water Music studio had to start somewhere, right? A prime location that's just a hop, skip, and a jump away from New York City, and where everything's so much cheaper too, was bound to attract both up-and-comers and veterans with modest careers alike. And then you develop the space into a residence as well, so acts can avoid those insane, city-slicking lodging expenses next door. Plus, there's great food and nightlife in Hoboken too, so when you're done recording for the day, you can just walk outside and be amid some good ambiance in almost no time. It's the town with the most bars per capita in the entire country, after all; more than New York, even. So, lots of selling points to this place, especially for musicians.

And this comp itself, even though I didn't enjoy it at all, still serves as a pretty important document, for the sole fact that it shows just how small-time this studio actually was at a certain point. Because look where it fucking is, now, folks!

Good lord, what a list! There are so many huge names on this thing! I mean, Vertical Horizon, Rusted Root, and even SR-freaking-71?! You better send me on my way, right now, because clearly, this Water Music place is everything you want from a recording studio! Even Tonic agrees!

(these are jokes, by the way.)

So, judging by just how meager this late 80s comp from Water Music really was, the studio evidently had a long way to go before growing into the industry juggernaut that it would eventually become. Unfortunately, I can't rave about how it started as a storybook, diamond-in-the-rough indie darling of sorts and then point to any killer, underheard tracks from its earlier days, because it actually seems to have risen from a place that was even lower than that; one that turns out to have not really been very remarkable at all in the first place. But that actually kind of makes their whole story all the more remarkable anyway, doesn't it? 🤔

No highlights.

Release: May 22, 2007

Lyrics:

Your fingertips across my skin

The palm trees swaying in the wind, images

You sang me spanish lullabies

The sweetest sadness in your eyes, clever trick

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street

You took my hand and danced with me, images

And when you left you kissed my lips

You told me you would never, never forget these images, no

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean

I cannot drive the streets at night

I cannot wake up in the morning

Without you on my mind

So you're gone and I'm haunted

And I'll bet you are just fine

Did I make it that easy

To walk right in and out of my life?

Songwriter: Alison Sudol

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Why can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

SongFacts:

"Almost Lover" is a song written and recorded by A Fine Frenzy, the stage name of American singer-songwriter Alison Sudol. It was released May 22, 2007 through Virgin Records as the second single from her debut studio album, One Cell in the Sea (2007). The single failed to enter the US Billboard Hot 100, but experienced success in Europe, reaching the top 10 in the singles charts of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

"Almost Lover" is a piano-driven pop ballad with elements of alternative rock written and composed by Alison Sudol. According to the digital sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., the song was originally composed in the key of A minor and set in common time to a slow tempo of 63 BPM, with a vocal range spanning from G3 through C5.

Susan Visakowitz of Billboard wrote that, although Sudol "tackles a well-worn subject" on the song, "she does so with poetic turns of phrase and a lovely, unassuming vocal" that result in "Almost Lover" creating a "lasting first impression." In a review of One Cell in the Sea, Shirley Halperin of Entertainment Weekly wrote that "attention to the dramatic works wonders" on "Almost Lover" by showcasing Sudol's vocals.
