10 Times Fans Saved Imperfect Albums
3. Green Day Trilogy - Green Day
Green Day's trilogy of albums in the early 2010's is by far the most unnecessary thing to happen to rock in recent memory.
With the first entry Uno already sounding like the band on autopilot, the fact this project was stretched over 3 discs and 2 hours left many hardcore fans feeling jilted. There's a lot of nothing to sift through on these records, but fans have proposed that some of the band's best moments may be salvageable.
All across the Internet, fans have been putting together "albums" that take the band's initial three-album monstrosity and condense it down into one solid single disc. Rather than having three albums that have their own agendas, these new edits take the best of the bunch, with the danceable "Stray Heart" from Dos put alongside the epic buildup of "Dirty Rotten Bastards."
Though people might know it for the Twilight films, the band's ballad "The Forgotten" has often gotten omitted from the track listing, with many fans seeing it better to be a one-off soundtrack cut.
On their own, each of these three albums all seemed to go nowhere, but together, these songs help compliment each other in a way that 2 hours never could. It's still not the best Green Day album, but if we had got an album like this, the band may have been able to sidestep a lot of their detractors.
