So today, Rolling Stone released its lists of the top artists, albums and songs of the past decade. The results are based on reader polls and encompass a variety of influential and popular artists of the last ten years. Artists like Radiohead, U2, Kanye West, My Chemical Romance, Lady Gaga and Coldplay can be found on the lists... but the overwhelming victor? Green Day. Green Day cleaned up each category... 2 of the top singles with American Idiot (#13) and Boulevard of Broken Dreams (#1), the top album of the decade with American Idiot, and the Top BAND of the Decade overall. I'm impressed. I will admit that yes, I am a little bias when it comes to Green Day as a mega fan myself... but come on, theres no denying these guys have worked hard to become the voice of a generation and deserve a spot on top. I'm thrilled for them. Its a name presented by one of the most respected magazines in the industry, voted in by the fans. Its pretty cool. So congrats to those bands who made the lists and congrats to Green Day... Rolling Stone's Band Of The Decade.
