[newsImage]21CB_100.jpg[/newsImage]Yes this list is from December, but we hadn't posted it - so here you go. Rolling Stone ranked Green Day at #5 of the Top 25 Albums of 2009. 21st Century Breakdown is listed between Dirty Projectors by Bitte Orca (#6) and The Blueprint 3 by Jay Z (#4).

Rounding out the rest of the top 5 were Phoenix, Bruce Springsteen, and U2 at number 1.

You can see the full list starting on this page. I'm not sure about that list. It might be my otherwise limited taste in music, but I didn't listen to any other album on that list this year.

Thanks to NickofSuburbia for the news.
