Desert Island Discs (Green Day edition)

I randomly remembered this radio show on the BBC called desert island discs where they bring on a celebrity and they pick 8 songs, a book and a luxury item that they could take to a desert island, so I thought it would be fun to see what you would all pick, GD related of course.

Instead of a book pick your favourite piece of GD merch. Luxury item could be anything (other than a boat/phone/anything that will get you off the island lol)

Here’s my picks:

Tracks: Whatsername, Jesus of Suburbia, still breathing, Sassafras roots, 2000 LYA, Viva la Gloria, let yourself go, good riddance

Luxury Item: my ukulele

Merch: my beloved American Idiot hoodie that I’ve had for about 10 years

Feel free to post pics of your chosen merch :metal:

Tracks: Jesus Of Suburbia, She, Stuart And The Ave, Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?, Christie Road, Going To Pasalacqua, Bang Bang, The Grouch

Luxury Item: Acoustic guitar (so I could learn to play in my ample free time)

Merch: Nimrod foam finger - could use as a pillow and to give the finger to passing ships.

I know one of my tracks would have to be redundant… while it’s not one of my personal favorites I think it would quickly become relevant if I was stuck on a desert island lol

Songs would be (in no order) Christie Road, Hitchin A Ride, Jaded/Brain Stew, Letterbomb, Whatsername, Longview, Bouncing Off The Wall and She. Merch would be my Dookie Converse and luxury item would be a never ending supply of chocolate but that may be cheating. :joy:

I’ll allow the chocolate considering Whatsername is on your list, which is one of my favorites :wink:
