GREEN DAY
1 - Christie Rd.
I first heard Green Day when a friend played Kerplunk! for me--over 33 years later it remains my favorite Green Day album, and as with that day, Christie Rd. remains my favorite Green Day song.

Primus - Mrs. Blaileen
A darker song about Donny, a boy pushed too far by a classmate and his own teacher. Les Claypool sometimes tells the true story and uses the real names during live performances.

Silverfish - Fuckin' Strange Way to Get Attention
Scottish badass Lesley Rankine fronted this tragically overlooked band. Off 1992's Organ Fan, this one's aggressive and tells an interesting story.

Front 242 - Waste
Memories of this blaring in clubs, in my car at 2:00 a.m., in the background while discussing how to pronounce the album's title--always loud, and still my favorite Front 242 song.

2 - Redundant
"Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were"
Anyone who has had the misfortune of being trapped in this type of relationship feels every word of this lyrical masterpiece.

GREEN DAY
3 - Welcome to Paradise
A song so good it had to appear on two albums--the original can be found on Kerplunk!--the more known, re-recorded track pops up on Dookie. I prefer the Kerplunk! recording but we'll call this 3a & 3b.

Black Box Recorder - Child Psychology
Sometimes we remember the exact moment we first heard a song because it hit us so hard. When I first heard this one it gave me chills--and I fell in love with it.

Breathe - Télépopmusik
I lived in a tiny studio apartment, saw this commercial on a 5 inch television a few times, and never forgot it--it's kind of weird seeing it in color.

4 - Hitchin' A Ride
Green Day doing their best Stray Cats? I'll take it. I love how the cool rockabilly beat gives way to a faster bridge, taking us (almost) to the song's end. I turn the volume up on this one every time.

5 - When I Come Around
When I think of Dookie this song comes to mind--is it because I heard it everywhere when it was released? Perhaps, but some songs are so good they are invincible against long-term overplay burnout.

When I think of songs that define being a young adult in the early and mid 90s, this is one of the first to come to mind. Bored, disenchanted, uninterested, and who cares?--it's the perfect kickoff to Dookie.
