Dookie is probably like, one of Green Day's best albums so what's your favorite out of the "underrated" or at least not as mainstream song? (Such as Burnout, FOD, In The End, etc) Personally mine are either Chump, FOD, in the end or Emenius Sleepus

The beginning and the end, the alpha and omega, Burnout and F.O.D. :lol:

Coming Clean or Having a Blast.  "Do you ever build up all the small things in your head to make one problem that adds up to nothing" is the most relatable line.

Having a blast and pulling reeth are bangers. Eminus sleepus, sassafras roots and in the end are great punk rock songs. FOD is not underrated, they play It live a lot

Can any track off Dookie be called underrated? I really love FOD though.

I think for me Burnout or Coming Clean. These are just great to singalong to and bop!😁

Sassafras Roots. It's probably my favorite song on the record, yet it's not mentioned a lot whenever there's Dookie conversation. Maybe I'm just a sucker for those pop melodies, but I love that song. 

Yep, Sassafras Roots for me too.  I have not yet heard it live yet, but I will get to finally hear it in March in Melbourne next year.

And "Basket Case, She, Sassafras Roots, When I Come Around" is my favourite block of 4 songs in a row on any of the albums.  I am already expecting to get pretty emotional when those 4 are played in a row next year.

Thought I'd be clever and played the whole album through, any excuse. That didn't work coz love every song. Certainly not an underrated track but fav is Welcome to Paradise, coz I heard it first on Kerplunk, back in '91. Love the video.

Sorry, hope you don't mind, I know I'm not really keeping to the question, but I wondered what tract has been played least on tour over the years. And from the list below from that amazing site Setlist.fm, from record available, Emenius Sleepus is bottom played only 46 times. Amazingly, May 27, 2013 was first live performance. Does that make it underrated? However, most recent live performance was on September 28, 2024 during current Saviors tour.

Here's link.
