Green Day - Dookie
I remember when my uncle picked this album out for me along with an album by Metallica and Rage Against The Machine. Definitely an album I have learned to appreciate more the older I get. Along with American Idiot, Dookie is probably the only other Green Day album I can say that I thoroughly enjoy. It's the punk sound of Green Day that I wished would have stayed with them in their future endeavors, but they've evolved more into pop punk, which is fine. Giving this album a listen today has left me with a feeling of nostalgia. I don't quite remember the age I first heard this, but I think it had an effect on how I look at punk rock today.
