R&P: My song for 90s Friday?

This week I'm not featuring a grunge song like I usually do lol......but many of you hate this band: Green Day.

I feel that they're both overrated (by the fans) and underrated (by the haters).

American Idiot, overrated as it is, wasn't THAT bad in my opinion, but whatever.

Anyway, their 90s breakthrough album 'Dookie' was fantastic and critically acclaimed. This week's song is 'Longview' (which is one of my favorites from the band).

'Longview' (the acoustic version; stupid Warner removed Green Day's official music videos, damn them):

What do you guys think?

BQ: Favorite 90s band

Update:

ugh, why is R&P sooooo slow again? I thought lots of regs would be on at this time! lol

Update 2:

Bang_the_Douldrums: I wanted to get the official music video for the song, but Warner removed all of their artists' music videos last week, so all of Green Day's music videos are gone since they are signed to that label. Damn them!

I thought the acoustic version was good, though.

    I don't really like a lot of acoustic, so I didn't really care for the song. :/

    Nirvana, ALL THE WAY. They are so different from anyone else. They have interesting lyrics, and amazing guitar cords.
