Undoubtedly generic, that's unquestionable, but highly listenable and enjoyable all the same. Least it was the last time I heard it.

I listen to it from time to time but I find it to be a solid record.

Ahh, the good ol' days before Green Day became a punky-pop/rock-U2-wannabe band. I'm not even a big Green Day fan, but I'll give props when they are due, great album.

Dookie was my second rock album that I ever got and I had it on cassette.

I haven't listened to it in ages but I remember it being great. After that it was a slow decline with only a few good songs here or there on each album afterwards.

I could careless what anyone thinks but I still like Green Day to this day. I also think that American Idiot was their peak of greatness.

Oh thank Christ, I was beginning to feel very lonely...I actually listened to Dookie a few months back and concluded that it had far less memorable songs than American Idiot...

Both of these albums have there place:

Dookie: Released in the 90's when hip-hop and Grunge were basically dominating the media, Dookie was angsty and memorable enough to re-introduce people to rock music

American Idiot: I think we all need to remember that American Idiot was not instantly likeable, adored by critics and mostly ignored by the buying public it all and all took about a year to catch on. People were fed up with government and politics and somehow the album became socially relevant.

I am one of the few people that refuses to give Green Day shit for saying all the right things at the right times and being fortunate enough to catch lightning in a bottle twice. I seriously hope that their next album sells a zillion copies so that I can enjoy many more years of hearing all of the whiners whine. I'll throw this out there for all of you to discuss: "Green Day is the catchiest Pop-Punk band since the Ramones"

This is what I'll say about Greenday. I loved Dookie. I don't think they've gone to total chite, but songs like "I Walk Alone" and "When September Ends" don't even sound like Green Day to me, just insipid over-produced banal alt-rock.
