#375 Green Day, 'Dookie' (1994)

A massively important album from my teen years. Could this possibly the first major pop punk record? I think it might very well be. It was definitely the album that launched Green Day into the mainstream and brought punk to Top 40 radio. Remarkably, this album only sold 9,000 copies in its first week. It took a few months for the album to take off, but once it did, it didn’t stop.
