Song: Basket Case
.jpg)
Quick Thoughts: The band most visible band member is lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong. The band's name derived from their fondness for marijuana. Having sold over 75 million albums worldwide, they are one of the world's best selling groups of all-time. According to Armstrong, Basket Case is about his struggle with anxiety. Nearly 20 years since the song was released in 1994, many of us will never forget the music video to this song, which I now understand was first shot in black and white and then filled in with color. This explains the unique trippy look it had!

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music. My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists". As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list. I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
