Green DayDookie

Fourteen songs in under forty minutes that dragged punk into the '90s mainstream at full sprint. "Basket Case" is an anxiety attack set to one of punk's most recognizable riffs, the verses tumbling out breathless. "Longview" lopes on a bassline Mike Dirnt wrote on acid, loose and rubbery. Cut in seven days, vocals in single takes, no reverb, just velocity. Still the snottiest, catchiest half hour around. Slam it on and bounce off the walls.
