Kerrang! Magazine has released their list of the top 50 albums of the 2000s and Green Day's American Idiot has topped the list at number one.

This comes as no surprise as the UK-based music magazine has always been very pro-Green Day and includes something on the band in just about every issue. Seriously, you should check out our forum topics as there seems to be a new one opened every week concerning Green Day's inclusion in the latest release of the magazine.

Other albums in the top 10 include My Chemical Romance's Black Parade, Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory, and System of a Down's Toxicity to name a few.

What are your thoughts? Is it the best rock album of the 2000s? There are certainly quite a few contenders in my mind. Let us know in the comments.
