Is "Jesus of suburbia" the most ambitious song by a mediocre and mainstream band this century?

hmm...that would be interesting no doubt. but it would be pretty much completely against the whole beatle idealogy, and too conservative pop-like for metallica.  somehow, i just cant see john lennon headbanging, you know?

Pseudo Echo's remake of Funkytown is much better than the original.\n\nFYI

I can't believe no one mentioned mentioned "Yellow". Yeah, it's a bit sappy but it is beautifully done. I abolutely LOVE  "Speed of Sound", but love almost all their songs.

The Older generation think that they still write songs like "Just Can't get enough" and haven't listened to anything since then. Other people think they are too morbid ala "Black Clelebration" and the youth today can't identify themselves with them. They are still a great band who are underated by the general public, but try as I might I cannot get any of my friends to listen to them

It's a little to the left of mainstream Alternative... Alternative allows for mixing of rap and rock like that with groups like Linkin Park and limp Bizkit doing it for years

This is confirmed.\n\nAlmost immediately after the release of Green Day's album, "American Idiot", there were rumors of a movie to be created. In a September 2004 interview with MTV, Green Day discussed the matter of a movie. Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said, "We've definitely been talking about someone writing a script for it, and there's been a few different names that have been thrown at us."\n\nGreen Day has said they have no plans of making American Idiot into a musical on Broadway, however, there have been rumored plans for a documentary of the making of the movie, the story of which follows the character Jesus of Suburbia through the ups and downs of his everyday life.\n\nThe music video Jesus of Suburbia is a supposed prequel to the movie, developing its plot and getting people ready. No word if any part of this music video will be included in the actual movie to bring people up to speed.

Yep me too. They had a strong debut album. Sam's Town is alright, but not as great as Hot Fuss. They are starting to overplay When You Were Young, though.

At this point it is Oasis... My Chemical Romance has not done a dang thing in life yet... accept sound like a week Green Day with worse lyrics...

Put your hands up, put your hands up! \n\nNo, they've not released anything in an age, I haven't heard of any plans of them doing so either...

Yeah...i'd agree with above people...Creep and No Surprises.\n\nBut i'd have say that one of their best and evidently simplest songs would "I Will"\n"Wolf At The Door" is a brilliant song also...\n\nInfact...Once i start listening to each of Radiohead's songs...i think they're all great, they're just a great band with amazing conceptual ideas of the power of music and words combined.\n\nDunno too much about Sonic Youth...
