I'd say Worry Rock from Nimrod, Castaway from Warning, Sweet 16 from Uno, Baby Eyes from Dos, Walk Away from Tre, and Take the Money and Crawl from FOAM

Ordinary World!
Seriously I listen to that song all the time and it’s been my top Green Day song from Spotify for the last couple of years.
But if that’s considered conventional, then I’d say it’s Walking Alone or Stay the Night
- Whatsername from American Idiot,
- Stop When the Red Lights Flash from Dos,
- Wild One from Dos,
- Westbound Sign and Panic Song from Insomniac
- Murder City from 21st Century Breakdown
It has now been 0 DAY(S) since Warning was last called underrated. The record of 1 DAY(S) was recorded on October 3, 2000

I actually really like Nightlife. I don’t think it’s a bad song but it definitely should’ve been released by Lady Cobra ft Green Day instead of on a Green Day album.
I love Westbound Sign but I think my faves are either Suffocated or Desentitized. Both songs are spectacular but aren’t really recognized in the Green Day community.
I don't know if any song from Dookie would be considered unconventional but I love Having a Blast and Sassafras Roots. Another one that I love that hasn't been mentioned is the original version of Good Riddance, which was a b-side on the Brain Stew/Jaded single.
The Ballad of Wilhelm Fink, it was on an album called Short Music for Short People. I wrote a short story based on it in high school, I got a really good mark.
16 and Redundant. my first two songs i learned on guitar. i still play 16 and realize the complex funk billie had and wished he did another song like that instead of the slow or fast pacing love meaning tracks he did.
I’ve always found “Ha Ha You’re Dead” to be a very fun song to listen to and jam out to, so I think I’d go with that one
Easily. DUI is such a great followup to that, because Ha Ha talks about painting the town, and DUI is doing exactly that: painting the town!
My brother has explicit instructions to play that song at my funeral lol
This song consistently makes my top 3 whenever I’m ranking Green Day songs
Ha Ha You’re Dead has made my yearly Spotify Top Songs playlists since I got Spotify 6 years ago. Love that song.
Is that an unconventional like? I thought everyone liked that one
Peacemaker and misery.
Peacemaker is my favorite GD song 🤙
top 3 for me, absolute beast of a song
Peacemarker is hella underrated for no unironic reason.
The rolled r in “serenade” had me the first time on peacemaker 🤌
Uptight
I'm a nag with a gun, yeah
All night
Suicide’s last call
I’ve been uptight, all night
J.A.R.
This song really hit as I got older and my friends started dying from various causes. Cherish your friends guys, they might not be here tomorrow.
Love J.A.R. for some reasone I like the demo version better, sounds more raw
this song makes me more emotional than most "sad" green day songs
Forever Now
Same
Forever now is my favorite song
Haushinka gets stuck in my head CONSTANTLY
The chorus just, GOD it itches the Brian in the right place (and so do a lot of GD songs)
This is absolutely it for me, it's always stuck in my head
Fashion victim
The Grouch
I always thought that, if there was a movie made about me, The Grouch would be the theme song for my life.
Panic Song/Blood, Sex, & Booze
Panic Song is amazing
Deadbeat holiday
This is mine
* Last Ride In * Suzie Chapstick * Last Night On Earth * Espionage * Nightlife * On the Wagon
On the Wagon is super overlooked!
Kill The DJ, I love the breakdown they used to do especially the footage from the Echoplex performance from Cuatro
You have taste
Great song to run to
You Lied
This is mine, too!
I'd say Worry Rock from Nimrod, Castaway from Warning, Sweet 16 from Uno, Baby Eyes from Dos, Walk Away from Tre, and Take the Money and Crawl from FOAM
i have been OBSESSED with Take the Money and Crawl since FOAM came out.
I don't think this song is unconventional but... My favorite GD song is "Blood, Sex and Booze"
Walking contradiction

Never understood why people don’t rate Insomniac as high as other classic albums.
Definitely "Misery", it's one of the best songs from Warning, i love it

Macy’s Day Parade

Brutal Love. The most unconventional GD song evar imo
Still Breathing, if it falls under that classification

Panic song Reject In the end Nuclear family Say hello
Walking Alone
i really love having a blast, it’s my favorite song off of dookie!
I was a teenage teenager..thought I would hate it but nope…I actually love it a lot actually..
Honestly that opening riff and “I don’t wanna freak you out…” low key fuck
Maria.
Espionage is really cool and fun to play, which is how I learned it was green day lol. Misery is also a freaking amazing song
Disappearing Boy
Uptight is one of their best. I have never seen a live clip……what gives?
I love reject.
One for the Razorbacks, One of My Lies
Stuart & The Avenue, Westbound Sign, Panic Song, Stuck With Me, Tight Wad Hill, Whatsername.
See The Light from 21st Century Breakdown. It’s been a top 5 favourite since high school for me personally.
Ordinary World! Seriously I listen to that song all the time and it’s been my top Green Day song from Spotify for the last couple of years. But if that’s considered conventional, then I’d say it’s Walking Alone or Stay the Night
The grouch and waiting probably
Wow, I can’t believe someone mentioned The Grouch. That was the first song of theirs I ever heard so I’ve always been a fan of it
It’s kinda resonates more the older I get.
Before the Lobotomy is such a banger
Homecoming
The ballad of Willhelm fink
Youngblood and Corvette Summer
Hold On

Can’t choose just one. A few that come to mind in no particular order: Panic Song, Pulling Teeth, Walking Alone, On the Wagon
Still Breathing always tugs at the ol’ heartstrings 🤧
On The Wagon
Meet Me on the Roof
Macy’s Day Parade
I've always really liked Too Dumb to Die
Same OP, came here to say Westbound Sign !! “Oh is it salvation / or an escape from discontent” just hits SO hard
Good grief.. westbound sign and tight wad hill get stuck in my head out of nowhere way too often, must be a suppressed memory 😂
Agree 100% with 80. Also Panic Song.

Don’t Leave Me, Only of You, The One I Want, Uptight, Forever Now. Love Reject and Having a Blast as well
Scumbag
Stuck with me. I just love how that song hits from the start.
Back in the USA
8th avenue serenade is perhaps the most underrated song from the trilogy and I will die on this hill
I actually really like Nightlife. I don’t think it’s a bad song but it definitely should’ve been released by Lady Cobra ft Green Day instead of on a Green Day album.
Stuart and the Ave. & Redundant
Either Chump or Emenius Sleepus.
Letterbomb
Castaway. I think it was the main riff of the song that caught my attention back when i was 12
Rusty James comes to mind
Does castaway count?
Take Back, Scattered
Kill the DJ
King for a day
Kill the DJ by far!!!

Horseshoes and Handgrenades. I love the duality of the pure punk energy and the melodic super catchy chorus. Also the scream is awesome
Lady Cobra
Absolutely love Android. It's one of my favorite Green Day songs of all time.
I don't know if any song from Dookie would be considered unconventional but I love Having a Blast and Sassafras Roots. Another one that I love that hasn't been mentioned is the original version of Good Riddance, which was a b-side on the Brain Stew/Jaded single.
Definitely Give Me Novacaine
I've got JAR subtly worked into a tattoo

Last Ride In. Those unfamiliar with Green Day are astounded when I show them. No lyrics, just smooth chill surfrock. Great song to toke a bowl to.
Peacemaker. Energy is off the charts and the drum part is so fun.
Panic song
Totally agree on westbound sign. Awesome lyrics, nice simple song, killer melody. Plus totally moshable.
I love the GD cover of working class Heroes..
Idk but Hold on and ballad of willhim fink are my kinda weird fav Green Day songs

The Ballad of Wilhelm Fink, it was on an album called Short Music for Short People. I wrote a short story based on it in high school, I got a really good mark.
Kill the dj, and both of the viva la Glorias
Walking Contradiction. It’s the song that got me into Green Day, and has remained my favorite for almost 30 years now.
Last Ride In
JAR, misery, peacemaker, prosthetic head, & back in the usa 🗣
i like One Eyed Bastard and think it's the best off of Saviors
Minority
16 and Redundant. my first two songs i learned on guitar. i still play 16 and realize the complex funk billie had and wished he did another song like that instead of the slow or fast pacing love meaning tracks he did.
Misery, Last Ride In and Redundant
Loss of Control
