Green Day - Dookie

"Chump"
"Longview"

I was gonna go for Mutual Slump / Organ Donor / Midnight in a Perfect World but there's that pesky Why Hip Hop Sucks in 96 skit in between. Really, almost the whole album is a perfect run of tracks, though I wish the album ended at Midnight...

Actually, that'd be a good topic for someone to start...

At least some have tried reeling things in to the past couple decades in the last page or two.

It’s hard for me to even think in terms of album any more. It’s probably been at least a decade since I listened to anything in album order.

I'm forever heartbroken that his prog rock phase lasted for only one album.
