This past week Music.IGN.com has released a list of what they believe to be "The 25 Best Rock Albums Of The Last Decade". Green Day's 2004 album, American Idiot came in at number seven on their list. IGN.com say:

If they are lucky, a legendary band will create one album considered a testament to their genre at some point in their career. A decade after blasting their way into mainstream consciousness with pop-punk mainstay Dookie, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool delivered a second classic with this stunning rock opera. The album grabs you by the ears with the pulsing beat and downhill racing riffs of its title-track and takes you on a fantastic sonic journey unlike anything released in the last ten years.

Other bands albums that also made the list include My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade, Brand New's The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me, and Siren Song Of The Counter-Culture by Rise Against.

You can see the complete list over on Music.IGN.com by clicking here.
