Green Day explodes into the mainstream with their signature hit, "Basket Case," a song about frustration and confusion borne from anxiety, set to an infectious punk-rock beat
At the beginning of the mostly-forgotten film Angus there is a marching band-augmented version of "Am I Wrong?". It's also on the movie soundtrack, although last time I checked Spotify that track was greyed out. When my wife-to-be and I first met, this was one of the "you've heard that too?" songs we bonded over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXDR6YX801g
I don’t recall that JAMC song, but it’s really good. I also love that part in “I Alone.” I’m a big fan in general of passages with backing vocals behind no lead vocals.
Also, Dookie, yeah. I still play FOD at max volume and I’ll be turning 60 soon.
I listened to Dookie A LOT. I actually got this album by talking my dad into letting me sign up for the Columbia House Record Club. I got Dookie, License to Ill, The Doors Best Of (that’s how I roped my dad in), and Lincoln (from TMBG!). I revisited Dookie recently and I still love it.
I can't wear a Green Day t-shirt without people constantly stopping me to say how much they love them. Great music, great album art.

Thank so much for the shout out, Matt!
