Why is it wriiten that this song is Punk Rock? 1. Green Day are not Punk Rock 2. This song is definitely not Punk Rock 3. It should be Pop but it has some guitars in it so I guess Pop Punk will be the best option in this case-- 88.153.86.189 18:20, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Request to add: In VH1's Storytellers program featuring Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong has stated that the title of the song was "nicked" from a themed photo album (of the same title) that features James Dean.—Preceding unsigned comment added by C Dyan84 ( talk • contribs) 03:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
This isn´t isn´´t Punk at all or Alternative as it are listened now, is mainstream Rock. I´ll change to Rock. pitoresco 17:44, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message on the talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material violating someone's copyright. If you are not sure whether the link on this article should be removed or if you would like to help spread this message, contact us on User talk:J.smith/YouTube Linklist. Thanks, --- J.S ( t| c) 00:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I added a link to the lyrics for this song, which appears to be a very common external link in most other song pages. Why was this reverted? I wouldn't consider it spam at all, for the reason above. Furthermore there are other articles with links I would consider more worthy of this tag. Scott 01:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Svivian ( talk • contribs)
any info on Noel Gallagher suing them? It IS a ripoff in my opinion! Played the same as wonderwall but with a capo on the 1st fret instead of second, and rhythm very similar. Greenday are sh!te—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.42.88.91 ( talk) 01:54, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Did you know that this song proves that Billie Joe Armstrong is a better songwriter than the guy from Oasis. Because this song's lyrics are better than Wonderwall's, and that's a fact you can prove. Zzguitar14 ( talk) 01:08, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
The beginning riff of this song is suspiciously similar to the riff of 25 or 6 to 4. Just thought I'd throw it out there; let's see if we can produce sources justifying my claim. — Signed, your friendly neighborhood MessedRocker. 04:13, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
The chord progression of '25 or 6 to 4' doesn't sound similar to 'Boulevard' to me, for one thing it's high to low notes; 'Boulevard' is the reverse. Could be the same chords in a different order, I suppose, but then it's not the same chord progression, is it?
Not an endless supply of chords out there ... As for Oasis, I'm confused by the suggestion that 'Wonderwall' was inspired by or borrows from Pink Floyd's 'Vera'. The only similarity is that the former includes the line, "I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now" and the latter, "Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?" 'Wonderwall Music' was George Harrison's soundtrack album from the late 60s - they're well-known for the Beatles fixation but hardly for any interest in Vera Lynn.
Anyway, that tidbit is about 'Wonderwall' ... it doesn't really belong on the 'Boulevard' page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.7.240.69 ( talk) 20:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I reordered several parts of the article in order to give it a less stuck-together feel. Several facts were repeated during the course of the text; I've made an effort to reduce this repetition. Also, the information found in the "Trivia" section was removed (in the instances of "this song was found in...") or integrated into the article text. Three notes:
It keeps on saying how depressing it is. I quote... "...melancholy walk..." "...and other miserable sights." Anyone else see a NPOV problem? ~ Lunakeet—Preceding undated comment added at 22:32, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Does anybody know if the title is related at all with Joaquín Sabina's 1994 song Por el Bulevar de los Sueños Rotos ("Through the Boulevard of Broken Dreams")? Music and lyrics are totally different, as Sabina's song is about the story of Chavela Vargas and Frida Kahlo, but isn't the title too uncommon to be a mere coincidence? I just left the comment so that it is explained in case somebody happens to know anything about it. -- Purplefire ( talk) 18:07, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Has anyone else heard the garbage that is Simple Plan's "Your Love is a Lie"? Completely derivative of Blvd. I feel it deserves a mention in the article. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.197.249 ( talk) 07:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
You're right, even though it's not garbage haha. I wouldn't know where to put it though. ~Zzguitar14 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.112.69.53 ( talk) 12:25, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Is it true that the song was called "boulevard of broken dreams" instead of "I walk alone" so that listeners didnt confuse the song with the other green day song called "walking alone"? 76.235.235.106 ( talk) 21:05, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined. Which is to say: when comparing to the combination of all other titles, the primary topic should simply be more likely by a margin of any size, and there's no need for it to reach any arbitrary threshold beyond that.
