Green Day Announce Greatest Hits Album 'God's Favorite Band'
VIDEO: Green Day - "Holiday" (Music Video)
By Hayden Wright
(RADIO.COM) – Is Green Day "God's favorite band?"
Regardless, that's the title of the rockers' new greatest hits collection and the edgy name does right by their decades of provocative music. The 22-track album features material from their early days through the height of their Bush administration agitation and beyond.
God's Favorite Band also features a new song, "Back in the USA." and a new version of "Ordinary World" that features Miranda Lambert. Lambert previously collaborated with Armstrong for an Everly Brothers tribute at the 2014 GRAMMY Awards.
The compilation's name was inspired by a bit from a CBS Late Show bit in March:
"On March 22nd, God miraculously came down to the Ed Sullivan Theatre to introduce Green Day as 'God's Favorite Band' on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the band's reps wrote in a cheeky press release. "When God speaks people listen, and that day God bestowed upon Green Day the title: Greatest Hits: God's Favorite Band."
God's Favorite Band debuts November 17 and is available for pre-order.
