I held on until Nimrod but Insomniac and Dookie are the only two I really revisit.

Fugazi is all that really stuck for me.

What a weird band to throw in a Green Day/Offspring debate…

I was just saying of all the Punk from that era, that’s what stayed with me.

Yeah, Dookie was a fave. I had both Dookie and Smash on CD but I frequently listened to Dookie all the way through, Smash was one that I typically only listened to the singles.

Same Nimrod was my last Green Day CD.

@Lee Newman has always been really into post-hardcore bands like Fugazi and Green Day.

I feel like I might upset some folks when I get home and start playing catch-up on this thread because I can't say I've much enjoyed anything I've listened to so far today and I know some of these folks are beloved to many....

To annoy lee? If I was doing a book like this I’d totally add at least 50 albums for no other reason than to provoke either a rant or a few pages of baffled confusion from you…
the stones' first record is a mostly r&b/r&r covers record with one jagger/richards original (tell me) and two band compositions that don't stray too far from the formula of the rest of the album. listening to this i think it's pretty easy to understand why the stones became big - even here early on their primary sound is uniquely theirs (jagger's vocals, guitar work, watt's drumming) despite the lack of original material - and why there are even bands today that would kill to have the garage blues sound these rolling stones put out.

Day 56
This whole album reminded me of a few different buskers I encountered lifetimes ago at Granville Skytrain station in Vancouver as I came and went from the downtown core - not particularly horrid, but off-kilter in so many ways. The Skytrain station buskers were made more interesting, however, by the perpetual smell of piss and commuters. I have very little interest in ever revisiting this. 1.5/5, rounded down.

If Green Day is post Hardcore, I am gonna say that genre is as useless as fucking "grunge"

Quite frankly, boring. The "doo doo doo doo doo"s at the end of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" are great, and the guitar/effect on "Pre-Road Downs" is pretty cool but that's about all that really stood out for me. The rest was certainly listenable and inoffensive but didn't do much for me. 2.5/5, rounded down (at least .75 of this is for the "doo doo doo doo doo"s alone)

"Marrakesh Express" is actually about hash, right?

I get that there is some intense history to this, but I found it an irritating listen. It actually knocked my Grump-O-Meter from standard surly to amplified.
I won't begrudge others their enjoyment of this, but I found very little myself. 1/5
