Punk had flirted with mainstream attention before--the Clash and Sex Pistols had hits--but didn't fully advance from the underground until this pure-punk 1994 album. In singing catchy, tight rock & roll tunes--including "Longview", "Welcome to Paradise" and "When I Come Around"--Green Day sneered its way into the hearts of millions. The Berkeley, California, trio also ignited a debate: Is it selling out for punks to sign with a major record label and become multi-platinum stars? Fortunately, this band didn't seem to care as much as Kurt Cobain did. --Steve Knopper Green Day - Dookie - CD Review: One of the best albums of the nineties - One of the best albums of the 1990s.

One of the best albums of the nineties
One of the best albums of the 1990s. I had it on tape in 1994 and nearly wore out the cassette player in my first car with it playing constantly. Now, it's great to own it on vinyl.

Having a Blast
As influential as a pop/punk-rock album could be. At the time of its release it literally clogged the airwaves and burgeoning media networks with its simplistic slabs of coherent, heavy metal-influenced rebellion. All (well most) of the kids loved it and all (well, most) of the parents didn't get it. It was catchy, it was a little rough around the edges but more importantly it was marketed. This may have heralded a new wave of punk/pop-rock upstarts to do their best at imitating Green Day, but it was a false revolt. This record made millions and still does. The reason, though, is that it is a damn fine album. 'Burnout' is an excellent opener. Strangely it doesn't sound like the call to arms on their later releases and is quite a laid back effort. 'Having a Blast' is even better, an understated slice of near-perfection. 'Chump, 'Longview' and 'Welcome to Pardise' all need no critique as they have become as much part of this album as the front cover. All good - some great. The rest continues this trend. There are no bad tracks on here but the best of the rest include: 'Basket Case' (of course), 'She', the perennially chunky 'When I Come Around' and the excellent 'Coming Clean'. and also the veritable canon-fire climax to FOD. A deserved classic. However my personal favourite was their follow-up, the dirty yet far purer Insomniac.

itunes?!?!
Love the music on this CD, and it works fine on my CD player at home. Yet when i put it into mine (and my dads for that matter) it doesn't play and it cant be burnt. We've tried it on ITunes, WMP ect yet none of them work. Is this the same for everyone or shall i return it?
