Ok, I finished listening to American idiot. My faves:
"American Idiot"
"I Don't Care" (part III of "Jesus of Suburbia")
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams"
"East 12th St." (part II of "Homecoming")

Those are my faves based on the music more than anything. I haven't really read the lyrics yet. Can someone give a quick summary of the story for me?

Doc - "Give Me Novacaine" was decent and fit in with the album, but it didn't jump out at me on first listen. I don't remember "Whatshername," but I will listen to the CD more over the next week.

Oh, "Extraordinary Girl" was pretty catchy, but it seemed more 'pop' than the rest of the album.

Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
