 (36 Customer Reviews)
In the days before there was grunge or thrash, a movement called punk arose as a populist response to the conformity of corporate rock, and a return to the garage roots of the music. Punk, new wave...whatever you want to call it, the movement ... Full Descriptionwas quickly co-opted by the major labels and radio as the best bands quickly evaporated into the pop mainstream while the rest faded into obscurity or day jobs.
"I'm not growing up, I'm just burning out, and I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead," singer-guitarist Billy Joe screams on the opening "Burnout," enunciating a timely slacker sentiment over a decidedly punk trio track, roaring through your speakers like a freight train powered by old Ramones and Clash records. One can hear the complaints of DOOKIE articulated in a thousand smoke-filled bedrooms throughout America. On "Longview," tongue not so firmly implanted in cheek, they extend their view of slacker apathy to apply to the fading joys of masturbation, but quickly answer their own ennui with the real world complaints of "Welcome To Paradise," begging the question, is there anything out there?
On a song like "She," Green Day seemingly answers all the questions of apathy with a furious groove and lyrics that urge listeners "locked up in a world that's been planned for you" to "smash the silence with the brick of self-control." And with "Sassafrass Roots" Green Day ups the slacker ante dealt up by Beck on "Loser" by asking, "So why are you alone wasting your time, when you could be with me wasting your time...may I waste your time, too?" The humor and furious musicianship Green Day display on DOOKIE (listen to them echo "Sweet Home Alabama" on "When I Come Around") undercuts all the talk of apathy, confusion and lack of direction by providing a whaling home-grown alternative to business as usual rock. And wasn't that what punk was all about?
DOOKIE won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. Green Day was also nominated for Best New Artist, "Basket Case" was nominated for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal, and "Longview" was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance.
Green Day: Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals, guitar); Michael Pritchard (bass, background vocals); Tre Cool (drums).

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 2 of 2 found this helpful. Blowin' Down the Doors of Punk!
Green Day may be the best known band in early 90's punk, and the most hated. Much as the Clash were despised in their native UK for "selling out" with London Calling, Green Day were singled out by the Gilman Street crowd as well. Green Day blew down the doors of commerical radio to help bring the sounds of underground punk rock to the masses. Now older, but not jaded, Green Day still is kicking out the punk rock jams with conviction...

This album is a close second to Live's "Throwing Copper" as the best album of the 90's! I love EVERY song on the album. It's too bad that Green Day spends their time these days pandering to the left-wing kiddies.

Dookie album
 $9.35   
This is an Enhanced audio CD, which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
AMERICANA continues the contradiction fostered by the Offspring with IXNAY ON THE HOMBRE; that of an anarchistic punk band signing up with and using the resources of a mighty recording industry monolith. Diatribes aside, these southern California punks have continued concocting breakneck-paced songs that combine intelligent lyrics with rapid-fire rhythms and shredding guitar.
Going beyond their punk credentials means the Offspring mix in a few curves that ...

Dookie music CDs
$6.39 
Throughout, he rails at the moribund state of youth culture and his place in it, as bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool speed up this anger to a frenetic pace. The disses fly every which way--at well-to-doers copping poses ("Brat"), at girlfriends who just don't understand ("Stuart And The Ave."), towards the world at-large ("Panic Song"), and, most of all, at himself. As though aware that his band helped make a sacred lifestyle fashionable, Billie Joe demeans his existence in song after song--unable to even sleep in peace with himself. For the disenfranchised listener, these are the ABCs of self-hate rebellion.

Dookie CD music
$9.99
The Legendary Hucklebucks were born during the cold Pittsburgh winter of 2001. Their shared lust for "roots music" and rockabilly brought these boys together and got this train-a-rollin'. But make no mistake, brothers and sisters, this ain't your daddy's old school rockabilly- this is 21ST CENTURY RAUNCH & ROLL!! It's updated, hellbent and nasty, beefed up with blue collar attitude and venom. The Hucklebucks came together as veterans of underground Pittsburgh bands the Ultimatics and Social Outcast. Right from the start, they bastardized versions of old standards from the likes of Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. However, over time as the band reached a post-pubescent stage, they began to develop an original sinister sound. The right amount of cynical snarl is a necessary ingredient. Vocalist Ted Boyko is a hulking hunk of soul and fury, with a voice that could crack the earth. He's got luring charisma that sucks you in, then he pimp-slaps the silly look right off your face. Guitarist Matt Schor is truly one of the city's finest and most smokin'. He casually tears the throat out of his Gretsch hollowbody with a nonchalant smirk, but hold on to your lower half, cuz' it just might drop. Uncle Piddles slams his upright bass with sick abandon and a Cheshire cat smile, part gentle giant but mostly demented madman. Drummer Brian Gault lays the mountain foundation on drums with his steady, hard-swagger style. Stir this toxic mix up and you get dirty, snotty ROCK & ROLL-A-BILLY with the mutated genetics of punk rock and old school metal thrown in for good measure. The band delivers their unique sound wherever they can, including all the local juke-joints and rock-n-roll dives, as well as shows opening for Lee Rocker, Southern Culture on the Skids, the Twistin' Tarantulas, the Legendary Shack Shakers, and the Cramps. They are willing and able to gig with ANYBODY. They even ...
