MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Opening of “Basket Case”)

The time is — January 7, 1995 —
Green Day rose to No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart with
“Basket Case.”

(Music Cut 2 — verse kicks in)

A song that helped define the sound —
and the anxiety — of ’90s alternative rock.

It was ranked No. 150 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
