Not every rock band is all sound and no substance, Green Day break the mould when it comes to modern day musicians. ‘American Idiot’, taken from the 2004 album of the same name, was a much needed savior to the slump that the band was experiencing prior to this, especially after such successes of the nineties. The song with its classic four-chord punk riff, delivers a merciless rant against the US administration of the day, the controlling media and America’s self-perception as a global police force.
