1,000 Slappy hours-breakthrough album
kerplunk-quite roughter, featuring an illegal cover of knowlege by operation Ivy, but they did not damage to the song...
Dookie-many popular and well written songs playing with the way ppl are today and perceive punk
Insomniac-a slightly darker album with some more desolate lyrical content
Nimrod-a growing point for them, actually every album was really, since they have been a band 17 years....but almost a looking back sense of regret and growth.Take back a rougher song and a song with strictly music just to sooth the soul...lol!
Minority-a clean, and experemental album with a jewish medley and as on every album something slow and acoustic
American idiot- there seems to be no growth to the music in this one except lyrically of course...AI guess trying to get back to their punk roots, but failed...still, a very good album indeed.

Well, that is what I thought of them so I would like to hear your feedback....

Actually their first album was *1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, my personal favorite. And, Knowledge was on this CD not Kerplunk.
In terms of progression, they've always been very melodic since the beginning. The little elements of punk they had were brief and disputed, through their entire discography. Of course, you're just gonna say I'm being a smartass so I'll stop. Anyway, I agree with Urbanhatemonger's comment, I laughed so hard, but that is the best and only thing that needs to be said about this band.
