Letterbomb (This was actually pretty easy for me - I think overall this is the more interesting song and the first half of Whatsername has always felt to me like a song by The Wallflowers) She's a Rebel (Another one that was fairly easy for me - I don't dislike any of the songs on this album, but Extraordinary Girl is toward the bottom for me) Homecoming (I'm burnt out on Holiday and I think these multipart songs are interesting) American Idiot (This was a tough one! I think that both of these songs were smart single choices, but I'll go with the song that I think is more interesting and that applies more today than it did in 2004) Jesus of Suburbia (Another easy one - I expect Jesus of Suburbia to win this album's bracket and probably the overall bracket)
This is going to be so fucking hard for me Letterbomb She’s a Rebel Holiday (fuck this one) American Idiot Jesus of Suburbia
Letterbomb She's a Rebel Homecoming Wake Me Up When September Ends Jesus of Suburbia Flawless album to me.
Whatsername (great, my favourite two songs on the album against each other right off the bat) Extraordinary Girl Homecoming American Idiot Jesus of Suburbia
Whatsername - 9 Letterbomb - 11 Extraordinary Girl - 5 She's a Rebel - 15 Homecoming - 8 Holiday - 12 American Idiot - 14 Wake Me Up When September Ends - 6 St. Jimmy - 2 Jesus of Suburbia - 18 Round 2: Boulevard of Broken Dreams Vs. Letterbomb She's a Rebel Vs. Holiday Are We the Waiting Vs. American Idiot Give Me Novacaine Vs. Jesus of Suburbia
Boulevard Holiday Are We the Waiting Jesus of Suburbia How the fuck did AI beat September so badly? Hot Take (apparently): American Idiot is one of their most overrated songs. And shame on all of you for voting down Whatshername.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams Holiday American Idiot Jesus of Suburbia Bring on the battle of the singles!
Letterbomb (This is probably going to be the toughest one for me this round...I really like both of these songs, but they're so different - I'll go with the non-single to keep things interesting) Holiday (I really am burnt out on Holiday and don't want it to win this bracket, but me voting for She's a Rebel over it would be inauthentic) American Idiot (Pretty easy - Are We the Waiting is one of my least favorite songs on the album) Give Me Novacaine (This is an unfortunate matchup! Give Me Novacaine is my favorite song on the album, but it's up against the song that I expect to probably win the overall bracket)
Letterbomb Holiday American Idiot Jesus of Suburbia The fact that Letterbomb is going to lose to BOBD is proof that the popular songs really win every time
