American Idiot – Green Day

I really had very low expectations going in to this one, I am familiar with a few of their songs from radio and thought they were tolerable, but not really a fan.

I thought this was pretty decent though if not terrible memorable. I didn’t really catch the story behind the concept but following along with lyrics probably would help. His voice is unique and I thought I would tire of it by the end but it was ok – musically it’s pretty straight forward rock but there are some more interesting bits mixed in.

I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it. It might get played again if the mood strikes. Not sure what mood that would be but unlike a lot of stuff on this list, it goes into a maybe category and I didn’t completely rule it out.
