Picture Book (1968): A really great track from the tight concept album “The Villiage Green Preservation Society”

Warning (2000): There is little room for doubt in this case – Green Day clearly copied every element of this song except for the lyrics.

    That’s mainstream pop music for you. The entire industry these days is based on ripping of classic songs and hooks and covering everything with Autotune.

  • Carl

    I disagree. When you talk about copying a song, you are talking about the melody. The melody of the two songs are different. The riff is similar. If this is copying, then every song in rock is a copy.

  • Jesper

    Correct Carl. If you listen to some of the earliest rock and roll records, they all have the same basic riffs and chord progression, but a different vocal melody.
    Like both of these song (?)

          No, the song is literally a scale, ascending and descending, with repeating some notes

      Thanks, that was interesting and fun :)

  • Ker Singi

    Pop is short for popular, so Dookie is the most pop. And American Idiot was the most Unique and Original album from any artist in a while.

  • kiki

    if you listen enough times, while it sounds similar, its not, the notes go up and down the scale in a different pattern, there almost inverse, causing the songs to sound similar, but not quite the same… so no, green day did not copy “every element” of this song, if you had more knowledge about how music worked then being judgmental because a band with talent had a similar inverse structure of the notes, albeit with the same rhythm, to an outdated band few have heard of, then there would be much doubt, that green day copied the kinks
