Without a doubt the most well known Green day song, and according to many, it is the song that propelled Green Day to superstardom at the turn of the century. The song is essentially mocking American culture, its pig headedness, its ignorance and everything else. It has such a great rhythm created by grerat guitar playing. I guess the video is what will stay in our mindes the most though, that large American flag with green stripes melting!
The band's best album was named after the song. But despite its popularity, the song's magic I believe still cannot compare with the top five.
What the heck! This is Green Day's trademark, should be top 3 at least!
there shouldn't have any bugging that amrican idiot is the best song of green day; 21 guns, holiday, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, novacaine, wake me up when sept. ends are among the bests after american idiot.
What why are the American Idiots voting for Boulevard and 21, and not the revolutionary song of the album of the same name? Seriously, though. AI is the best Green Day Song because the song literally is the reflects Green Day Persona; Badass rebels against the culturual conformity.
American idiot is one of the best rock songs ever and is one of those songs that when you mention it to anybody they know it. The chorus and instrumentals are unforgettable. This is a true green day classic and a great song to do a cover on!
I can listen to this song all day. In my honest opinion this is Green Day's greatest song ever, and that will never change for me. Say what you want but I'm an American and even I know that the stuff they say in this song is true.
This is what everyone knows Green Day for (this and Boulevard of Broken Dreams).
I LOVE THIS SONG (even though it is pretty racist... ).
It has an awesome rhythm and lyrics. It will always be stuck in my head.
it was tough choosing the best green day song for me, because to me, they're are (almost) all awesome, I picked this one because it was the first song by green day that I learned, and is also really awesome XD
This should be in the top 3, at the least. When you think Green Day, you think American Idiot (or Basket Case if your a long-time Green Day fan). It is truly a great song of their's. This song needs more votes!
This is probably the first song I've ever heard by Green Day. Even before I knew what the 2 F words were I was still singing and getting in trouble for saying those words. Laugh out loud
I think it deserves more better place wow this song rocks I love it by heart sorry for extra things
How is this song not number one its better and in my opinoun more popular than any of the other songs above this one... Its catchy and awesome.
