This week marks the 30th and 25th anniversary respectively of Green Day’s Insomniac and Warning albums. Both of these records showed a different side of the pop punk icons with Insomniac being a direct response to the band’s massive overnight success the year before and Warning showing the band taking a more experimental approach with their songwriting. Both releases happen to be two of Chris’ favorite albums which is why he chose both to be discussed in long form.
