Redundant (song)
"Redundant" is a song by American rock band Green Day. It was released as the third single from their fifth album, ''Nimrod'' (1997), and serves as the fourth track from that album. Released in April 1998, the song failed to match the chart positions of its predecessors but did reach number two in Australia when it was reissued as a double A-side with "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", becoming the band's highest-charting single there. It is one of few Green Day songs in which vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong uses an effects pedal.
