Take one part Ramones, one part Buzzcocks, and one part Husker Du, and you've got the basic foundation of Green Day, a punky, witty, melodic San Francisco Bay area trio who became overnight stars in 1994 when this album, their third overall release and major label debut, catapulted them to the top of the pop charts. Led by guitarist/vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong and their secret weapon, powerhouse drummer Tre Cool, Green Day put '70s and '80s punk in a compact '90s package with songs like "Longview," "Basket Case," "Pulling Teeth," and the hit semi-ballad, "When I Come Around." One the few modern alternative rock bands with a bona fide sense of humor. — Billy Altman

- The album that put them on the map.....
- There's not much I can say that hasn't been said already - bottom line is this is a classic and one for the ages - in my personal top ten albums of all time. Though it is their third studio album this is the one that put them on the map and while some turned their backs on them when they finally got some… More reviews
- One of the definitive '90s albums
- Well, it's been a long time since I've written a review, but I figure I'll come back on something big and amazing, like Green Day's "Dookie". Not much is needed to be said about this album, because a lot has already been said.
Even though this is one of Green Day's earlier albums, it shows that they've got skills in the… More reviews
- dookie ookie
- My daughter likes this Green Day cd. I don't listen to it, I am not into them. I like about 2 of their songs, I think they sound like kangaroos are kicking them in their stomachs as they sing. But to each his own. More reviews
- Quit hatting on Green Day jealous punks
- This album is a 90's masterpiece. I'm so tied of "true" punk fans that whine about Green Day not being punk enough. They combined perfect melody with fast punk riffs better than anyone. People will still be listening to this album 20 years from now. More reviews
- The First Smash Hit!
- Dookie is the best album of Green Day! It still packs the rawness of its "Sweet Children," days but has the new shine from Reprise Records. And even though this album isn't my favorite (that would be Warning, which was released on 2000) it is still better than all their other albums combined, far better than American Idiot.
