Rarely is a punk CD called a masterpiece... but Green Day's Dookie is pretty close. Before American Idiot and their recent revival - before Nimrod and other CDs - Green Day had Dookie. What a fun album. I remember first hearing the CD and loving it because it was so new and so different. Each song is unique and each track sits nicely beside the other. I've always defined great albums as those that you can listen to from start to finish and enjoy the entire experience. Dookie certainly fits that bill. There are the classic songs like "Welcome to Paradise" and "Basket Case" - but there are many other gems like "Pulling Teeth" and "Coming Clean."
1. Burnout 2. Having A Blast 3. Chump 4. Longview 5. Welcome To Paradise 6. Pulling Teeth 7. Basket Case 8. She 9. Sassafras Roots 10. When I Come Around 11. Coming Clean 12. Emenius Sleepus 13. In The End 14. F.O.D.
I absolutely needed to buy another one because it is a wonderful CD. I believe that some of the songs have become some of the "new" classics! Green Day is the Ultimate rock band! The title of the cd makes great conversation starters =)
Dookie is one of those classic CDs that takes you back. I remember wearing out the cassette in my truck when it was first released. I've probably owned 10 different copies over the years. Classic punk for the masses and still good after all these years. 4 Stars.
Awesome first attempt,it set the tone for a generation.And i know i was pleasantly surprised at how the music grabbed me. Give it a listen you might like it.
My 14 year old loves them and wants all their music and Dookie is a great older CD to give her for Easter or B-Day which is the 25. I listened to it it does not skip or have and faults
This CD is great for green day lovers if you dont have it its a must have its a classic greenday sound really raw but good I love this cd I still listen to it!!!
Green Day has got to be one of the best bands around. Many have labeled them to be punk music. I don't think they are "puck". Maybe "punk-esque" would be a btter analogy. Their style is certainly too individualistic. I personally love every single song on the album. They have a great variety of topics about life that they cover in their music. This is a keeper for all times in my collection. There is also a hidden track about 2 minutes after the last song has ended. It is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS! You gotta hear it!
LOVED IT!!!!!!!!! This was a great CD. I like Greenday and needed to replace my CD of it. The songs are good. I was ver pleased. I decided to buy it because I like the band and needed to replace CD that was taken.
Great album... their first BIG HIT. This is not only a great record, but a MUST OWN for ANY Green Day fan. "Longview" is by far the best known song on this, followed closely by "Welcome to Paradise" and "When I Come Around". It features more of a punk sound to it, with that special Green Day thwang to it. So just quit your b!tching and get it!
I purchased this CD (Dookie-Green Day) for my 10 year old son who is a big, big fan of Green Day. He received all A's and B's on his report card this card marketing. He plays it day and night and Daddy recently down loaded it on his Ipod. Mom loves the low price she paid for it and Nicholas loves the music. Thank you again.
A must have Green Day CD if your a fan! This is RAW, Punk influenced, and honest Time of my life from Bill J and the band. This CD made me a fan of the band.
I got this cd because my tape got stolen. My sister and I used to listen too this hole ablum alot and it was 10.00 at target and it was cheaper on ebay. SO I got it on ebay
This was the best cd form the band Green Day... the first major record to come from this band... Any fan of Green Day shoudl also buy there cd 1039, Smoothed out Slappy Hours... the collection of all there first recordings..this and "Dookie" are the best of Green Day..and the video to Basketcase is halarious.. very colorful..i grew up loveing this video... and this band...
so if your young and love the american idiot cd- your not a punk.. If you wear your sisters pants and act alittle "odd" -your not a punk.. If your spun in your parents house writing songs around 5:30am -you actually might be a punk.. But really this cd was late for its time- i remember this girl in class was all about the dirty punks- and i just wanted to get dirty with her.. so i was all dirty punk skater and bagged that shiii... ya. Then classes ended and we sort of grew up.. Now i want to get dirty w- the secretary- so i have to be a rich bi**h. Timeless classic.
If you're a Green Day fan, this is a must have compilation of their greatest hits. A well balanced CD with many great tracks. I am very happy with this choice!
I personaly think this is one of the best albums ever made! And i would have to say Green Day is the best band ever. They make great music and are some really hot guys. Their music is great and this CD is awsome.
green day is like a god!!! they are perfection! this is a true work of art!! this cd is great! it has so many classics that they are well known for. truely one of their best ever!!!
