I hate this "selling out" crap. How the f*ck did they sell out? They really didn't change their style except for that their sound slowly progressed into more clarity. The only reason people say they sold out is because they became popular. Apparently if people like you, you sold out. You honestly want to label somebody a sell out? I can only think of one true example. No Doubt. They just changed their style to the better selling hip-hop genre. GD really didn't change. They put out new music pretty much in the same fashion and they became popular so people who want to label themselves as cool for listening before got pissed off.

The reason everyone likes Dookie is becuase it put Green Day on the map. Dookie was amazing. Even though it was thier first big album, it was arguably thier best ever. It had a huge list of good songs. Knowing that you are a big fan of GD, I find it surprising you dont know this
Free Music (Its what I do all day)
