Green Day in Kerrang! - Dookie as the #1 album to hear before you die, Billie Joe on cover and in Pandora comic

Tre > Dookie

I laughed so hard at this. Thanks.

Now that I think of it, I am shocked American Idiot wasn't chosen.

But I'm pleased Green Day was number one for something like that.

"It has a pop mentality to it."- Dan O'Conner... No it doesn't?

yeah it really does

Well punk didn't really have a name at that time.

The entire green day catalog is punk bro.

lmao

Since this is Kerrang, I'm not really surprised. Heck, given the chance I think they might have very well promoted all of Green Day's back catalog to #1 actually.

Though really, to be honest I have this vague feeling that they chose Dookie because that IS pretty much the 'other' Green Day record non-fans (and some casual fans) really know aside from AI. (In a number of cases, the only other Green Day record they know apart from AI.) And Kerrang as far as I can see have done AI to death...maybe they were going for a little more variety?

The Ramones are TOTALLY Pop Punk. They were totally influenced by pop music from the 50's and 60s and played it fast and loud. The Ramones didn't have punk bands to look up to, they created their own music.
