consider American Idiot, our CD of the Year for 2004; 2005’s exceptional live CD, Bullet in a Bible; and Warning, one of our top CDs of 2000 – a release that, looking back, perhaps should have signaled that something bigger was on the way. No band posted such a consistent record of excellence across the decade of the ’00s, and more importantly, no other band came close to defining the decade musically. As suggested above, American Idiot is the single, landmark moment that people will be turning to for decades to come when they think about the music that was to the ’00s what Dylan and The Beatles were to the ’60s, what Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were to the ’70s, what U2 was to the ’80s or what Nirvana was to the ’90s. It will be impossible to do a movie about this moment in American history without including Ámerican Idiot” or “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” in the soundtrack.
