 "Quit hatting on Green Day jealous punks" | 2008-08-08 |

| This album is a 90's masterpiece. I'm so tied of "true" punk fans that whine about Green Day not being punk enough. They combined perfect melody with fast punk riffs better than anyone. People will still be listening to this album 20 years from now. |

Dookie is the best album of Green Day! It still packs the rawness of its "Sweet Children," days but has the new shine from Reprise Records. And even though this album isn't my favorite (that would be Warning, which was released on 2000) it is still better than all their other albums combined, far better than American Idiot.
If you want to experience Green Day as they used to be, and know and understand what the oldie Green Day fans cherish, this is the album to buy! So besides rushing out to buy American Idiot just because a lot of the fans now are comprised of people who never really knew about this band till its release, advise you to, just buy Dookie and see if you like it. Because mostly Green Day is comprised of that sound and taste, this IS Green Day at its finest! |

I remember hearing this cd way back when I was in fifth grade and I still listen to it once in awhile. Its far from there best cd but contain the classic tracks Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, and When I Come around. The whole cd flows well and I recommend it to anyone who likkes music. Its too bad they started the whole crappy pop punk scene we have now.
By the way, Longview is one of the greatest songs not only of the 90's but of all time. |

| This was another album I loved in middle school. MTV loved it, Rolling Stone loved it, so I bought it. It's catchy pop music. Sorry, but it's not punk music. Not even close. This is fun pop music but nothing particularly insightful or ground breaking and will not stand the test of time. |

The multi-platinum success of this album brought Green Day into the mainstream of pop/punk bands. Their following consisted of mainly teeny boppers and their copy-cat kool-aid dyed hair, yet the band had songs that you couldn't help but sing along to. The songs are witty, funny and catchy, so you can't help but like them. When this CD came out the band was worried about not being in the "punk rock" category after selling millions of records, but who cares? If the music is good then it's good.
Yes, there is nothing original about Green Day or the songs on "Dookie", however singer Billy Joe still writes clever, catchy songs. So if you're into bands like The Buzzcocks, The Ramones or the Clash, you'll like Green Day. Most memorable songs on the album are "Long View", "Basket Case", "Welcome To Paradise" and "when I Come Around". |

| Had this CD back in 94 when it first came out. It was awesome then and still is. My 'baby' brother who just turned 14 can't believe I, at 30, know who Greenday is, and had this CD. My 8 year old son can't believe I know all the songs. My 37 year old husband has asked for this CD for Christmas (I lost my original somewhere along the years). This is an AWESOME CD, a must have for any Greenday fan, any 'punk-ity pop fan'...American Idiot is great but this one is AWESOME! Love, love, love it. |

| Green Day rocketed into the mainstream with this outstanding effort in 1994, Dookie. The singles, Longview, Basket Case, Welcome to Paradise, and When I Come Around are incredible and I have seen the music videos countless times, but the album really shines on the songs that were not singles. These songs spread a message that people of all ages can relate to, a bleek sense of life but at the same time a sense of hope. Green Day gives you the ups and downs of life on this album and does it in a catchy, melodic way. Nice Job! |
