Random thought that came to me... one reason why bands like Green Day are so good is because most of the time in life you don't want the answers or solutions to your problems. You just want to know that someone else feels the same way. Personally the lyrics to songs like Armatage Shanks, Christie Road and Burnout mean so much to me for the help I've found in them. Sure many other Green Day fans have their own songs which they find particular help them.
