Dookie is what make sme hate the chick fans of Green Day today.

They love them only for American Idiot.

Dookie is a brilliant album, and Billie Joe's lyrics are incredibly moving and vile at the same time.

Dookie is the album that every single fan of Green Day always remember. With this album, they made history and they joined the actual punk scene. Even tough it is their third album, back in 1994 it was what showed them to the world. With lyrics which you can relate to and with great melodies, Dookie is an unforgettable album.

To me they made Dookie a faster up beat album to make were punk won't die out. They love their influences so they didn't want them to die out so they made a fast up beat punk album. They were putting a moral across just like old punk bands so i love Green Day for this album.

The album Dookie is very good.With some of the most memorable tracks in rock history.The only thing I did not like about it was it paved the way for garbage like Fall out boy and many other soft rock bands.Green Day is a good band and I totally supported their concert with Wolfmother but I just think the album helped give way to bands where you can hear the drums 10 times louder than the guitar solo.

Dookie is the third album by the pop rock band it was the first album on reprise Green Day and was released in February of 1994. The album was a breakthrough for the band, introducing them into mainstream popularity as well as commercial success. This album helped Green Day become one of the most popular bands of the 1990s. As of August 2006, the album holds a diamond certification for 10.3 million units sold in the US alone and 20 million copies sold worldwide making it the best selling punk album of all time. The album was the band's major label debut for Warner's Reprise Records, causing considerable controversy in the punk community, with many critics claiming the band had "sold out." The album became a mainstream sensation with singles like "Longview", "Basket Case" and "When I Come Around" achieving #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. Dookie reached #2 on the Billboard top 200 album chart.

The album is named after a slang term for feces.

The songs on Dookie blend fast and slow punk and included a transition between "Chump" and "Longview" that some see as an inspiration for the rock opera of 2004's American Idiot.

Dookie's first single, "Longview", refers to boredom-induced masturbation. Tré Cool's drum lead and Billie Joe Armstrong's fast fretwork evoke The Damned's "New Rose" and features a trademark Mike Dirnt bassline. Heavy play of the Longview and Basket Case music videos on MTV contributed to the band's popularity.

Dookie won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. It is placed as number 193 on Rolling Stones list of the The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time [1]. It was also placed as #30 on MuchMoreMusic Top 40 Greatest Albums Of The Past 25 Years in 2005.
