American Idiot was rated in the top 5 concept albums at Gibson.com. For a complete list click here. Below is what they said:

"For a California punk trio that basically made a career out of celebrating its ADD, this politically charged rock opera marked a major triumph. Recorded after Green Day recorded and, ahem, “lost” 20 tracks that were meant to go on another album called Cigarettes and Valentines, the band spent three months coming up with the basic tracks for American Idiot. Inspired by the Who and musical soundtracks such as Jesus Christ Superstar and West Side Story, the group made a guitar-heavy double-album telling the convoluted story of a character called Jesus of Suburbia. Driven by epic songs like the title track, “Holiday,” and “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” the album scored a Grammy for Best Rock Album while a year later “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” won the prize for “Record of the Year.”

Always nice to hear the Boys getting the some of the credit they deserve

Good little standard description of AI, although this part is pretty retarded and lazy:
"For a California punk trio that basically made a career out of celebrating its ADD"

politically charged rock opera is so 4 years agoooo. haha but it's cool.

i'm glad to see the who, green day, and pink floyd up there.
disappointed to see david bowie.

Bowie is GOD!

no, he isn't.
maybe in some twisted crossdressing universe.

Bowie is great. Show some respect.

Whats wrong with crossdressing?
The man was a genious musically, and yeah he may look a little weird but you can't deny his music was pretty epic.

nice to see them up there.

seeing David Bowie & The Who up there too just made my day.

I grew up listening to my dad's David Bowie albums.

wow thats soo cool to see them up there

They fucking deserve that.

They did a great job, and they put their heart and soul into this album.

Yay!

Nice to see Bowie, The Who, and Green Day up there.

Bowie is awesome. Like Jason said - show some respect

It is good to see them up there, I just wish they would hurry the fuck up because I am getting uber impatient

Very Cool

uhm... double-album?? as far as i know AI is a single album, not a double

Hey you're right! It's probably just a mistake, whoever wrote it doesn't exactly seem like a Green Day expert, it's just a bog-standard American Idiot description.

Awesome nice to see The Who and Green Day up there


It follows a sorta double story its against politics e.g AI Holiday
Yet it also tells the story of The Jesus Of Suburbia

Well, it is great concept album^^ That Top 5 is awesome Love them all

good to see them mentioned and still recognised well for their work.

wow that's great!
