Green Day
Like Pearl Jam and the Offspring, my interest in Green Day was picked up from my sister who played them on her stereo at the time. But unlike the other two, I picked Green Day first time around. Me a wimp? Perhaps but at this time I was in High School, I was entering my teens and, like many before me, I had discovered Punk Rock. And with Green Day, I discovered a sense of fun and mischievousness that somehow made defiance sound like the best time ever. Plus there was that unabashed glee in finding a swear word in a song.
Key Album: Dookie (1994) It’s always Dookie. It sounded great back then and still does now. I have since looked upon my High School years as being a difficult and painful time of my life (as it always is for many people) but Dookie always made me smile and got me through even the darkest hours.
