10 rock songs that turn 25 years old in 2019
9. Basket Case - Green Day
And this one is without question my favorite Green Day song.
This tune was obviously built as a pop song from the ground up, but even so it really works. It's almost exactly 3 minutes long, very catchy, very happy sound to it, very cool.
Sonically, this song was masterfully mixed. Everything is heard clear as a bell and nothing is too loud or too soft. Vox, drums, guitar, bass, all of it. The EQ is absolutely perfect. Even the stereo separation of the drum toms is perfect.
It's a damned shame more songs aren't mixed this way.
