Depending on how you're keeping track, 2011 was the first year of the new decade. With the '00s behind us, my choice for best album of the decade is...(drumroll please)...American Idiot by Green Day. The album reinvigorated the tired rock genre, produced a new generation of fans for Green Day, and served as a powerful lyrical counterweight to the Bush-Cheney-Fox News political machine that our culture desperately needed. My favorite track is the 9-minute-long Jesus of Suburbia.
