#40 Green Day - "American Idiot"

Thanks to Helly 77 from our forums for finding the news!

Also, Green Day got a mention in an interview with Antonino D'Ambrosio. You can read the full interview here, and here's a small sample of it:

There are scores of artists that say something, but they're just not at level where they're affecting the wider culture the way that Johnny Cash or Joe Strummer did. Green Day is at that level, and American Idiot is a powerful statement. I would say certainly Green Day is there, but they're an exception.
