Green Day "J.A.R." vs. Weezer "I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams"

I'm not completely sure what else these songs have in common, besides that they're both fucking awesome.

green day so hard forever

like i love weezer too but JAR just kills

really is sad to compare old green day to terrible terrible new :-(

same with weezer obviously

I just like to pretend the current versions are a different band.. (which would be Green Day post-Warning and Weezer post-insanity.)

i always forget about jar--it's a great song

Weezer always include a few classics on their latterday albums, with the possible exception of Maladroit

Decent songs.. i personally wouldnt call Pork And Beans or Beverly Hills a classic..

I had never heard that Weezer track, it's awesome!

Still voted JAR though.

The weezer song is pretty cheesy. i just listened to JAR for the first time in 12+ years, and it wasn't as good as i remembered. note to self: never revisit the past.

love J.A.R. I remember in middle school I had the awesome opportunity to play a song in class and explain why it related to a book we were reading. I had to choose between JAR and some metallica song. I chose the metallica song and got a bunch of blank stares. if I had chosen JAR, maybe they would have all cheered me and carried me on their shoulders!

it was one of those classic "if only everybody would hear this song like I hear it, they would recognize its greatness and want to become friends with the person who introduced them to it" childhood moments, which you realize is a such a fallacy when you grow up.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

close! a deserving winner. other Weezer b-sides would have trumped J.A.R. tho

which ones??????? at the moment "Suzanne" and "Jamie" don't seem as huge to me as "IJTOTLOMD"

and by huge, i mean HUGE-sounding

Shouldn't this be the song Green Day wrote for their friend who died vs that song Weezer wrote for their fans who died?

vs. that song phil collins wrote about the one guy who watched the other guy die by drowning

that's a myth, son

also, the weezer song was written before they died. if you're talking about the song with their names in the title.
