Green DayGreatest Hits: God's Favorite Band

Green Day's full arc in one place, from snotty kids to stadium-punk giants. "Basket Case" still races on that twitchy, palm-muted riff and a chorus that sounds like a panic attack set to a hook. "American Idiot" snarls and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" drags its lonely guitar through the rain. "Ordinary World" with Miranda Lambert turns the song into a punk-meets-country duet, and "Back in the USA" is a previously unreleased exclusive. The title came from a Stephen Colbert joke. Twenty-seven years of American punk in twenty-two tracks.
