3. American Idiot

The year 2004 was a monumental year for Green Day. They released the album AMERICAN IDIOT, a concept album that became one of their best works. The song American Idiot itself became a successful flagship single.

Not only was it popular, but this song also won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 2005. Its lyrics, which are critical of American politics and society, made American Idiot a highly influential protest song of its time.

4. Jesus of Suburbia

Still from the album AMERICAN IDIOT, we have an epic song titled Jesus of Suburbia. This song is unique because it lasts nearly 10 minutes!
