Well....I don't blame you for American Idiot because that was released in November IIRC. But Hot Fuss was released in July. Both the majority of the album's sales were in 2005 so anyone could get confused ;).

Thats unhealthy. Lol, I can go on sprees of certain bands, but I listen to more than 2, thats for sure.

Fall out boy isnt much of a "Greatest" band, and they arent a band rolling stone would give a good rating. Im suprised how high Queens Of The Stone Age were, it was a good album but not that great. Foo Fighters got a 3 out of 5 stars when they reviewed it, which is above average but still not extraordinary. It deserves a spot, but I guess Rolling Stone Changed their mind.
