Well that depends entirely on whether you're counting studio albums only - that is, a non-compliation album of originals/some covers that was produced primarily in a recording studio for the purpose of sales. In that case the Dead put out thirteen albums. However, over the years they (and their record companies) released ten compliation albums (made up of previously released tracks). "Skeletons from the Closet" was the first, and probably the most famous, of these. Then you have the live albums - recordings of concerts that are distributed through a record company. There are ten of those as well ("Live/Dead" considered by some to be the quintessential live album), but after that... well let's just say things get a little fuzzy. See, the Dead had a very loyal fan following, traveling from concert to concert with the band, making money along the way by selling grilled cheese Sandwiches and doing other odd jobs. These "Deadheads" also captured these live performances by tape, sometimes an audience recording and sometimes they were able to patch into the soundboard at the concert. While most bands discourage this practice, the Dead encouraged it. This practice helped build a truly astounding library of live recordings, complied over decades and capturing several lineups and style changes (the Dead are famous for never playing a song the same way twice, often including expansive improvisational passages during/between songs). Over time, some of those recordings made their way onto official releases; the "Dave's Picks" and "Road Trips" recording series each have a few dozen live recordings apiece, and there were a whole mess of one-off/short-series live recordings. But the real kicker is that the internet Archive (archive.org) has a section devoted to creating a complete, 100% free database of every single live Grateful Dead recording. Most of them are digitized versions of those taped shows, spanning the band's entire existence.
I guess I got a little off track :)

I don't think they ever said "Gloria" in any of their albums until 21st Century Breakdown, but a lot on that album.
Paranoia isn't song that Green Day made. If you mean the covered song by Black Sabbath "Paranoid" then that's not on any Album.
They've had 7 albums come out in the past 10 years. International Superhits, Shenanigans, American Idiot, Bullet In A Bible, 21st Century Breakdown, American Idiot: Broadway, and Awesome As F**k

Green Day's chances of coming out with another album after 21st century breakdown would be pretty good, considering Green Day is a popular band in many parts of the world, and demand is stronger since the last album.
"American Idiot" and "21st Century Breakdown" <3
