Green Day
International Superhits! (Reprise) The Green Day chartbusters that necessitated this 21-song anthology -- "Longview," "When I Come Around," "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" -- aren't nearly as invigorating as the less successful "J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)," "Geek Stink Breath," or "Stuck With Me." Still, whether rocking out full-force ("Jaded"), doing their best Stray Cat strut ("Hitchin' a Ride"), or indulging their latent Pogues tendencies ("Minority"), the Berkeley trio are masters of sounding out their inner child via hyper-contagious melodies; "She" is some of the most sublime punk rock ever recorded.
