[edit] Green Day

Perhaps it should be mentioned that this song is completely derivative of Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", which came out no more than four years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.197.249 (talk) 07:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

The songs have the same key and a similar chord progression in the verse, but the melodies and harmonies are all different. And additionally, similarity can be pointed out in many other songs as well! Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire has a similar rhythmical and chordal progression as Green Day's Jesus of Seberbia (Tales of Another Broken Home)! In pop and rock music, most all songs are based of a limited amount of chords. Unlike classical and jazz, unique chord progressions are not the focus, so there is no need to point it out. However, if you do want to continue this discussion further, find some reliable sources to back your claims up. — Poe Joe _{(formerly Ian Lee)} (Talk) 13:40, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
