[newsImage]041510_spinner_ai.jpg[/newsImage]Spinner has listed their 10 best rock operas of all time and 'American Idiot' came in at number 6 on the list.

It's 'Pump Up the Volume' for the aughts. Originally premiered at the Berkeley Repertory Theater this past September, Green Day's 2004 album turned musical has now made its to the Great White Way. While the thematic push of "rage versus love" remains constant, ultimately it's a great, poppy homage to what punk rock is all about.


You can view the full list here which includes The Who's 'Tommy', Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' and other great albums.
