Green Day Albums - DVD, CD or Vinyl!

A band that needs no introduction to their fans, Green Day are an American punk rock group that has been around since 1987. Originally known as “Sweet Children” the band changed their name to ‘Green Day’ in 1989. ‘Green Day’ is a slang term where the band are originally from, which literally means a day of doing nothing other than smoking weed and it’s thought that the new name was inspired by Billie Joe’s affection for cannabis.

Stoner stereotypes die hard, but Green Day are definitely not lacking drive and determination. With 4 Grammy awards and over 85 million records sold, Green Day are one of the most successful punk rock bands of all time and have made a decisive contribution to the popularity of the pop-punk genre.

U.N! DOS! ¡Tré! - Get them all!

CD sales have plummeted by nearly 95% since the peak of their popularity in 2001. The rise of smartphones and the rapid adoption of online music streaming services like Spotify, make buying a CD seem a little outdated. However at EMP, we are music fans first and foremost, and you will definitely find Green Day CDs in our online shop.

Streaming services like Apple Music use compressed music files because the audio data requires a lot less server space if it is compressed. However, the resulting loss of quality means that the music sounds ‘thinner’ and ‘incomplete. A few streaming services like Tidal and Amazon Music HD offer CD-quality audio (or ‘lossless listening’), but they are much more expensive than standard subscriptions. Maybe you have heard (or read) that vinyl offers the best audio experience, but that’s not true. Vinyl offers a truly unique, almost visceral listening experience, but the sound quality of CDs just can’t be beaten.

Green Day Vinyl at EMP

Ultimately there is no such thing as the perfect music format - some people would never choose vinyl, but for others, nothing even comes close. Listening to an album on vinyl may seem like a lot of work, but for fans of this audio format, the playing and cleaning rituals are an essential, almost therapeutic part of the process.

Music isn’t just about music

In the age of streaming services, fold-out album covers and CD jewel case liners have been replaced by a small digital thumbnail image and for a lot of consumers, the album artwork has become somewhat of an afterthought. However, for die-hard music fans, owning physical audio albums and collecting the album artwork is as much a part of being a fan as going to gigs.

At EMP, it doesn’t matter whether you prefer the sound of CDs or the romantic crackling of vinyl because in our online shop Green Day albums are available in both audio formats. Have you been a huge fan of Green Day since the beginning but don’t own all their albums yet? A quick browse around our online store should fill any gaps on your CD shelf.
