30 years and a couple months prior to that, JFK was assassinated.
There's been 29 Super Bowls since its release.
It released a few days after Super Bowl 28.
Mh, 30 years is about the same time after WW2 that I was born.
This is the album that made 11 year old me care about contemporary music and developed my actual tastte in music, rather than just accepting whatever was on.
While my current taste is a conglomerate of different styles (Where Green Day doesn't hold much territory, to be honest), learning Basket Case on guitar was an important step for me as a 12 year old.
I saw Green Day in concert around 2013. I'm fortunate to have seen a fair number of big-name acts, back when paper tickets were still a thing - and GD stood out. The clock struck 8:00 pm and Green Day started rocking. The clock struck 11:00 pm and they walked off after their second encore, done for the night. They were so precise. All the while making things look and feel chaotic and just straight up rock'n'roll on stage. It was impressive. Cool. It was an event. One of my most memorable rock concerts for sure
I remember buying this when it was released from a local new and used music store, The Record Exchange, in NC. Nostalgia indeed.
And 30,000,000 young people* picked up a guitar and said, “I can play that!”
(* including me)
There are going to be so many of these posts this year: Smash, Punk in Drublic, Let's Go, Stranger Than Fiction....
Did Kerplunk not come out before Dookie? In like 91?
Yes, but Dookie was a bajillion times more successful. They probably sold more copies of Kerplunk after Dookie came out than before.
I see. Guess that's what they meant by "breakout" album.
I had no interest in music, until I happened to find a CD on the side of the road. This one, specifically. Traded some stuff to a kid for a CD player to play this. Didn't even skip that much. But now I have to go, because I'm pretty sure I can hear my bones breaking.
I feel so old now. Thanks. 🤣
Did I buy this at Sam the Record Man or Sunrise? Oh wait, I never bought it at all because GREEN DAY SUCKS.
Now, if you need me I'll be in 'S' for Soundgarden.
😛
Good, we don't need your hate
