View Full Version : Blvd of broken dreams is, like, exactly what a pop song should be.

Can't get it out of my head. It's not Green Day's most inspired song musically (It sounds like Metallica's unforgiven and Nippleback's How you remind me fucked and created a bastard chordset), And it's not exactly the most brilliant writing. However, the tune's catchy and the lyrics/rhyme scheme are complex enough to keep it from being just another song.

I gotta agree with you here. I like Green Day, but too many of their songs sound the same. When I first heard "American Idiot", it sounded like the old green day guitar chords. But then I heard Boulevard of Broken Dreams, and I loved it, then bought the CD. Even though it might be played a little too much, it is a good song.

I really really love the song, its too bad it gets overplayed. I have loved it since before the album came out.

I hate that song. Worst song on the album, IMO. So annoying.

Really? I think its one of the better ones. Not close to the best though.

worst = extraordinary girl, which is still a good song.

Something about it annoys me. I don't know why. I always skip it and American Idiot on the CD.

Yeah, became my favourite song when I first listened to the album.

It's WAY overplayed now, but it's still a good song.

I hate that shit now, it's on the radio all the time. :o

I found it weird though, I was listening to a song by Deadsy, called 'Key to Gramercy Park' These are some of the lyrics...

From the other side of the Underscene
To the boulevard of broken dreams
To find a way to Gramercy Park

I dunno, but the song, kinda reminds me of Oasis - Wonderwall

Also, Silent that's a pretty decent song there, I used to have the album, too bad I didn't really like too many others on that alubim

Deadsy fucking sucks. They can take their music and stick it up their ass. That band tries way to hard to be like Orgy.

I hear the song all the time at work. It pisses me off because when you're listening to it, you expect there to be a chorus. When you realize that what you thought was the prechorus is actually the chorus, you're just sitting there thinking "what happened?"

I think it's a boring and rather plodding song. The whole album is a bit tedious, really.

However, Oh My God by the Kaiser Chiefs is stuck in my head and probably fits the same concept for me.

God damn it. I'm not a big Green Day fan, but once and a while they come out witha song that I really like. Coincidently, everytime they come out with a song that I like, they overplay it to the point where I change the station when it comes on.

You know what? When I first heard the Green Day song, I had a sudden urge to listen to Oasis :o

your "i need a girl to have sex with" or whatever, thread makes me think that you dislike this song because the lyrics remind you about how you want a girl :o

anyway.. it is an awesome song

I love the ablbum and that song is a favourite. I just really like playing it on the guitar. Letterbomb kicks ass as well. The whole album's great.

It really is a good CD.
Still sounds like Green Day as well, and that's what I like.
