Green Day "Dookie" [1994]

Hey, they named their album this, not me. But let's hear it for some truth in advertising, finally -- "Dookie" is one big, stinky log. Musically, it's in essence Nirvana for kindergarteners, except its constant on-the-nose lyrics, banal song topics and permanently nasal-congested vocal delivery of Billy Joe Armstrong  is better suited for the day-care set, where its listeners are less discerning and are able to evacuate their bowels at will each time a new moronic 3-chord "anthem" erupts. Besides, it's apparent the dim bulbs who make up this band have no clue this music had already been done infinitely better 25 years before they stumbled onto the scene. Hell, The Romantics did it better, and they were frickin' horrible!
