I like Green Day but don't know their music very well.... what songs would be good for a 12-year-old. They are for my nephew. Also, any new top 40 music that would be good for him but not violence or sex .. it's hard!

Green Day's music is pretty much all acceptable for all ages 12 and up in that there are virtually no references to sex or violence and the use of foul language is kept to a minimum. However, I don't listen to their music anymore because over the years I've come to realize that they are communists. So if it were me, I wouldn't recommend their music to anyone.

Geez... I have been a GD fan since 1994. Haha. [since I was about 3] Um yeah... "Brain Stew", "Jaded", "Geekstink", "Longview", "Basket Case", "Welcome To Paradise", "She", "When I Come Around", "Walking Contradiction" and "Brat" are starters. All those songs are off the"Isomniac" & "Dookie" CD. Hope your nephew has a blast with the oldies. [The new stuff blows in my opinion... but all their old stuff sounded the same, haven't much to lose either way.]

The radio version or edited version is fine for a 12 year old or younger.
