greendepent Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 1994, because even if AI wasn't a success like it was, they could still make it like a lot of other bands too.

stories and songs Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Equal importance. Dookie put them on the map and established them as important young voices in the industry. We wouldn't have them now without 1994. AI gave them more status as serious musicians, got them more involved in music's sociopolitical realm, and got them a new wave of fans.
nopride84 Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 2016 is the most important year of green day. Quit living in the past maaaaan
letsdanceon Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 For me personally on my journey with the band, it's 1994 hands down. I doubt I would be the same person I am today if I hadn't discovered them as a sheltered, confused 12-year-old. As a general response, I'm gonna have to go with...still 1994 😂 I understand the merits from both arguments, but I think overall numbers have to be taken into account (dookie outselling AI) and the fact that Green Day's fame in 1994 spawned an entire resurgence in a genre of music, whereas 2004 was mostly just a resurgence in the band's own popularity.
Ian1234 Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I would choose 1994. Without Dookie, there would be no AI. Even though AI pretty much changed my life. Dookie was the album that put Green Day on the map.
