Yay or nay? I really don't like them at all anymore, but I gotta say that I really loved this album. It has a special place in my heart since it was the 1st tape I ever bought, back in the day.
The album, Dookie, plunged through those great grunge days in the 90s. It sort of gave people a new outlook on music and punk. I'm not really a punk fan, but it is a remarkable album.
Yay....still a good album. I'll never forget when it came out and the first time I heard it. I still have the first cassette I bought of Dookie,it's broken but I hold onto it.
Green Day, as they exist now, are not at all my cuppa. However, I bought Dookie a few years ago in a used record shop in Cape May, and I must say that it was a quite splendid album, and still is. It's so raw and strangely melodic- Green Day at their best, before they started writing stupid generic songs for an easy buck.
Oh yea, I dig it. Green Day used to be cool, and their music used to be awesome to listen to. Now whenever I hear them, its like nails to a chalkboard. Man, they really turned into a bunch of pussies...why?! Why, Green Day? You turned your back to punk rock forever and entered the relm of pussy mainstream pop!!! UGH, I shall not forgive you for this...
I like Dookie. I think it's hard not to like it when your a young teenager, but as you get older you grow out of it. The songs however are good.
Maybe I'm just strange, but I was 36 in 1994 when I first heard Dookie and thought it was great. My kids were young then and we would listen to that odd little piece at the tail end of the cassette (before I had CD's) and they would just crack up laughing. so we played it a lot. Tre: I was alone I was all by myself No one was looking... I was thinkin' of you Oh yeah, did I mention... I was all by myself? All by myself I went to your house But no one was there I went in your room (crying) I was all by myself You and me had Such wonderful times... When I'm all by myself All by myself I still love Dookie, though can't say I am into Green Day now, they have kinda sold out, but if it works for them, fine. But 1994 got me going on music again, and they were part of it.
Haha yeah, and you gotta love: I'm all busted up Broken bones and nasty cuts ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN But this time I can't get up She comes to check on me MAKING sure I'm on my knees After all she's the one Who put me in this STATE Is she ULTRA-VIOLENT?

I better tell her that I LOVE her Before she does it all over again OH GOD,SHE'S KILLING ME!!! Looking out my window for Someone that's passing by No one knows I'm LOCKED in here All I do is cry For now I'll lie around heck, that's all I can really do She takes good care of me Just keep saying my LOVE is TRUE
