If I had to pick my second favorite band it would most definitely have to be Green Day. They have to be the best Punk Rock band of all time! Their best album has to be American Idiot, It Includes songs like, "American Idiot", "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", and "Wake Me up When September Ends". “American Idiot” witch is in particularly one of my favorites. “Well maybe I'm the ... America, I'm not a part of a redneck agenda, now everybody do the propaganda, And sing along to the age of paranoia. “ This song, and these lyrics, is the prime example why I love this band. They have so much pride in their band and their music that they can write a song that rags on them and 1/3 of their fans, and the crazy thing is, us Americans will just get up and dance to it! A close second would have to be “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”. “My shadow's the only one that walks beside me, My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating, Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me, Till then I walk alone.” This song just shows the soft side of the band. Every lyric was thought of from the heart, and that’s where they sing it from. Bands that try to imitate Green Day like Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, and Sum 41 don’t really compare in my eyes. Green Day is one of those bands that are unique, can’t be copied, and the band that every other band wishes they were! There is just something about them that’s makes you get goose bumps on your arms when one of their songs comes on the radio. If I had the money id spend it on every concert, every Album, T-shirt, posters, and any other merchandise you could think of, because Green Day is worth it 110%!
