Summer Song Challenge, Day 43: Dave

Prompt: "A song that's so much better than 'Bohemian Rhapsody' that it honestly makes 'Bohemian Rhapsody' sound like the Mister Softee jingle"

Selected by Dave


"Jesus of Suburbia: I. Jesus of Suburbia; II. City of the Damned; III. I Don't Care; IV. Dearly Beloved; V. Tales of Another Broken Home"
Green Day
American Idiot, 2004

I was never a huge Green Day fan, but man, do I love this song. It's along the same lines as "Bohemian Rhapsody" in that it's long song that could be broken down into four-to-five different songs. It blew my mind the Green Day wrote such a good, elaborate song. It's just flat out better than "Bohemian Rhapsody."
