CMJ NEW MUSIC REPORT - dookie review

along with fellow calipop punkers offspring and rancid, green day proved to be one of the most surprising (and commercially successful) punk rock stories of 1994. with such undeniably catchy singles as "longview," "basket case" and "when i come around," dookie, the east bay band's third album and major label debut, combined punk's youthful angst with pop appeal to propel the trio into arenas while still retaining their spirited sense of fun.
