Also, Boulevard of Broken Dreams bears a striking resemblance to Wonderwall by Oasis (though that's a bit different since that chord progression is overused in general).
How the hell does 21 guns relate to telephone line?
And many punk songs have a similar stye to american idiot, where lines are sung during rests in the instrumentals.
