Lotus Eater Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 which green day song has the power to change the world? we all know songs like: we are the champions, or we will rock you,How exactly did these songs change the world? Yes, they are very popular and are used in many an inspirational sports movie or event, but please...define "revolutionary." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Eater Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Well, in terms of music, I would say JOS. There hasn't really been a song like it since A Quick One While He's Away, and JOS is like a million times catchier than that (apologies to The Who).

Soysauce Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Well, in terms of music, I would say JOS. There hasn't really been a song like it since A Quick One While He's Away, and JOS is like a million times catchier than that (apologies to The Who).That's a good point...nine minute songs definetly stand out, and JOS did become fairly well known and liked.

Sugar Demon Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Revolutionary is a pretty high goal for any song. Don't think any have been revolutionary. Good Riddance hits a chord on a personal level because it imparts something that everyone, and I mean everyone, experiences, but it's not revolutionary. I think American Idiot would come closest to a defining anthem. That song was a snapshot of a time in US history that will forever evoke a certain image, even 20 years from now. (Sort of like "Are you Going to San Francisco" did in the late 60s. That's not the best example, but the only one I can think of right now.) AI put into words how millions of Americans feel, but don't always talk about...... things like how at least half of the world hates our fuckin guts because of our government's policies (not just Bush, it's gone on for decades), or jealousy because of our superpower status, or the appearance that we like to meddle too much in others affairs and such. And after enjoying a few decades of relative freedom from real retaliation, the world finally got small enough that these haters can reach out and poke us with a stick and it freaked us out. Combine that with the barrage of information and opinion that saturates your senses 24 hours a day from the media and the stupid "political correctness" that has gone way overboard, American Idiot is a song about looking in the mirror and saying to yourself, "God Damn, how did we get to this point?"

123 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I dont know. I just cant seem to see a whole football arena singing to the chorus of minority. Like,You know at a game or somethin when the audiene stamps their feet to we will rock you. I just cant see it with a Green Day song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
