OK, if you know of Green Day before American Idiot its because of this record, If you don't own, for £2.99 its the sale of the century, for £9.99 its still a bargin.

this album have shifted over 15 million copies. Each track is listenable, packed with classics, almost every song can stand the test of time... with catchy hooks, sensational bass and near perfect drums, green day really came into their own with this record

it was the bands debut on major label warners subsiduary label reprise... after two early albums, one with potential and one showing that potential.

dookie is a step further with anthens that have lasted over 10 years at parties, rock clubs, live shows and more...

basketcase - the hit that most will still consider green days greatest song.

when i come around - my personal favourite song of all time

long view - the song of a generation bored of everything expressed though one voice and one fantastic series of lyrics floating over the masterpiece bassline from the fingers of mike dirnt

more classics that you can't sit still too, air guitar/drums are side effects of this contagious record, you will sing, dance and smile with dookie.

argueablly this is one of the top 100 records of the last 50 years.

a must own!

peace

i am a greenday fan myself and when i bought american idiot it was a brilliant album at the time but then i thought why not look at all their old stuff as dookie was realesed in 1994 and this is the best album i have heard after all it tends to be the old stuff that is good but still BUY YOUR COPY NOW!

this is a wicked album really great tracks and really well recorded well spaced out an great lyrics - before green day sold old they were really good - if you have only listened to there newer albums such as american idiot or warning buy this it will show you how good they CAN actually be

by the way!!!!! there best album is insomniac.

In my opinion this album is pure genius, i cannot find a fualt in this album. I love all the albums of Green Day but for me this one goes that extra mile. Lyrically its clever and musically its Bloody amazing.

first of all this album was released in 1994!!!! and it is a classic album and it shows people how good green day actually are! its got all the classics like ''welcome to paradise'', ''when i come around'' longview'' and of course the one and only ''basketcase''!!!! billie joe armstrong, mike dirnt and tre cool at there best!!!!! dont buy american idiot buy this!!!!!!!!!!!

Every track on hear brings something special and for me is the best album i have ever heard and nothing comes close.Tracks such as Longview,Welcome to Paradise,When I come Around and Basket Case show traces if not complete genius with the lyrics very much tongue and cheek yet superbly crafted this is a must have!
Everything on hear is amazing to listen to and the guitar,drums,bass and vocals are all to perfection!
YOU NEED THIS ALBUM if you are a punk or rock fan or any genre YOU NEED THIS ALBUM!!!
