Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1986. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tré Cool. Known for their energetic performances and catchy songs, Green Day has become one of the most successful punk bands of all time.
With their breakthrough album "Dookie" in 1994, Green Day gained mainstream popularity and helped revive interest in punk rock. Their music often tackles social issues with a mix of humor and angst, resonating with fans around the world.
Over the years, Green Day has released numerous hit albums including "American Idiot," which won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. They continue to evolve their sound while staying true to their punk roots, making them a beloved band among both old and new fans alike.

This compilation of early indie work (1989's 1000 Hours EP, 1990's Slappy EP, and 1990's 39/Smooth LP) was a strong indicator of things to come for Green Day. Recorded on shoestring budgets, these recordings out-rocked most of the wannabe punk records that flooded record stores at the time. From the first strains of the opener, "At the Library", Green Day are off on a fast, fun ride. Some of the band's best tracks are from these early sessions—"Don't Leave Me", "Dry Ice", "16", "Rest", and "Paper Lanterns", to name only a few. It's a hook-filled record with three-chord wonders at every turn, anchored by Armstrong's snotty-boy vocals. He captures youthful yearning, variously spitting lyrics like "I feel forgotten / Feel like rotting" and then musing out loud, "What is it about you that I adore?" Simply some of the catchiest punk rock ever made.
