'God's Favourite Band' return - Green Day announce new album



Pop-punk legends Green Day have announced the details of a new greatest hits album, entitled God's Favourite Band.

You'll only have to wait a little longer for the album, as it is set for release on November 17th.

The album will include 20 of the band's previous hits, including 'Wake Me Up When September Ends', 'Basket Case' and 'When I Come Around', as well as a multitude of others spanning the band's impressive career.

The album will also feature two new tracks: 'Back To The USA' and a new duet version of 'Ordinary World' with Miranda Lambert. The band have also posted on their Twitter that there will be a new music video, although they don't specify for which song.

This will be the band's second 'best of' compilation, as they also released International Superhits in 2002. There was also a DVD entitled International Supervideos that followed, so here's hoping they do the same with God's Favourite Band (perhaps 'God's Favourite Videos'?).

The full track listing for God's Favourite Band is:
1. '2000 Light Years Away'
2. 'Longview'
3. 'Welcome To Paradise'
4. 'Basket Case'
5. 'When I Come Around'
6. 'She'
7. 'Brain Stew'
8. 'Hitchin' A Ride'
9. 'Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)'
10. 'Minority'
11. 'Warning'
12. 'American Idiot'
13. 'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams'
14. 'Holiday'
15. 'Wake Me Up When September Ends'
16. 'Know Your Enemy'
17. '21 Guns'
18. 'Oh Love'
19. 'Bang Bang'
20. 'Still Breathing'
21. 'Ordinary World' (featuring Miranda Lambert)
22. 'Back In The USA'

If you're having Green Day withdrawal symptoms and can't wait for the new album, pass (a small portion of) the time by listening to one of my favourites!
