It's okay, it's just annoying hearing everything on that CD over and over. Not to mention how overrated they are.

I think they are overrated aswell, but feel they went in a good direction for this album.

It makes you unpatriotic... :lol: Even though nothing on there is anti-American, it's anti-establishment.

I did too, but I grew a bit out of Green Day's music. But I still like to listen to Green Day once in a while, but when I do, it's their older stuff most of the time.

I don't really like them that much, they kinda get old after a while.

But comparing them to The Who and The Clash is an insult to those two great bands. :P

No, it does not make you a bad person. I enjoyed the album somewhat, but liked they're previous work more.

I liked Dookie more, but American Idiot had a few gems.

While I'm certainly more a fan of their prior work, I did go through a major American Idiot love when I was ohh, 15 I'd say.

Don't really listen to it much now but I can see why you like it.

However I wouldn't compare it to the clash, they used some similar guitar technics in certain songs, but beyond that...

Never said it was comparable to the Clash, only influenced by.

technically you said it reminded you of the clash which would suggest a comparison.

but they listen to the clash so obviously somewhere along the line it acts as an influence to their music.

It wasn't bad but the messages were turned into over-rated pop music singalongs and the entire album was incredibly over played and over popularized.

Either way it's a comparison. But by comparable I mean in terms of which is superior

The problem with that song and the album was that it was everywhere in the media all the time. First time I heard it, I didn't like it because it's not my kind of music but later on I actually started to hate it and hated people for listening to it because of the media.
