So I'm not the only one who admires Green Day for their politics, more than their music. You have to admit, though. Sometimes they rock.

The rest of the Top 10 may be trite, but at least they're trying. Green Day, despite their faux cockney accents and deep derivativeness, have excellent politics, and the songs actually have chords; they are trying to put forth an actual notion. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is just Em G D A (like about twelve other pop songs I could name, including, basically, "Wonderwall" by Oasis) but they are attempting something - and, I believe, succeeding.
