Facts

Green Day

• "American Idiot" (The first Green Day album to reach #1 on Billboard) is treated as a "punk rock opera". The main character, "Jesus of Suburbia" becomes addicted to drugs, meets a girl known as "Whatsername" and a risk-taker named "St. Jimmy". Over the course of the album, "Jesus of Suburbia" grows through his experiences and learns a lot about himself. In the song "Homecoming", his friend "St. Jimmy" commits suicide. The only song on the album which does not fit into the soap opera theme is "Wake Me Up When September Ends" which is about Billy Joel's deceased father.
• The band is planning to release a movie (Mimicking moves by Pink Floyd and The Beatles) entitled "American Idiot: The Motion Picture". The band members themselves may or may not be in the picture.
• Their singles include "Holiday", "Wake Me Up When September Ends", and "Jesus of Surburbia".

Total Number of Videos: 19

[Bangel]

Madonna, of course!

[Dragonfire]

Green Day by far. I don't really like Madonna's music.

[bonita_00]

Madonna.

[kanashimi]

Making her debut in the early 1980s, she has become the most successful female solo artist of all time

I don't like her music, but Greenday are just... so undeserving... There messages are fake...

And they can't compare to madnonna till they keep making successful music for another 20 years.

[Shifty]

Green Day. Maybe they don't have any message to send out, but their music is decent.

[matchbow]

I personally can't stand Madonna. Go Green Day!

[Alex]

Green Day.

And how are their messages fake? I personally loved what they told us all to do at their final concert of their tour - which I can't repeat here ;P

Again, Green Day > Madonna

[Medusa]

Madonna. I don't actually enjoy many of Green Day's songs at all.

[Paul]

Madonna.

[DM was on fire!]

Lesser of two evils. Madonna.

[Light]

Green Day. Since i had to pick between the two.

[Twinkle]

Green Day. I loathe Madonna.

[Kugetsu]

Madonna, she has... had... talent.

[Kidwaiy]

Madonna!!!
