You would really like Dookie I think!

They have one good album, which came out when I was 15 and obviously sounded like the greatest record ever made at the time because it was mostly about being sulky and wanking, and everything else is rubbish. Especially when they went 'political'.

Actually if I am being totally 100% honest then I would probably say that, factoring in enjoyment at the time, Basket Case is probably in my top five singles of the 90s.

They have two good albums. 'American Idiot' really was very very good.
