[pic=Basket Case music video]020114_basketcase_dookie_20years.jpg[/pic]Fuse.tv has put together a collection of thoughts from various artists about the impact Dookie has made on the music industry and the direct influence it had with a number of artists. Here's a few snippits from the piece:
[quote]Green Day's Dookie wasn't the first pop-punk record, but it was the most important one. It's still the most important one.
There aren't many genres in which it's possible to make such a claim without inspiring major debate. But in this genre, it's simple: Dookie made it acceptable to put pop-punk on the radio. It introduced an entire type of music to the masses, inspiring a domino effect of sorts over the past two decades that has helped shape the way this genre grew. [/quote]
They go on to include reflections from members of Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Taking Back Sunday, The Wonder Years, Silverstein, Bayside and Fireworks. Read the full piece over at Fuse.tv.
