Green Day went pop-punk on Dookie and it's brilliant, fresh and one of the best albums of the nineties. Armstrong's lyrics seems more mature on this than on Kerplunk.

The most known grunge album is also the best. Cobain lyrics and melodies are almost catchy as sad. It isn't beautiful to me but it's powerful. And I love it.
