In 1994 punk rock trio Green Day were on top of the world with DOOKIE, their massive hit album. They were loud, fast, bratty, pissed off, hopeless, truthful, drunk, maybe high, and somehow, absolutely massive. It was glorious.

Marc Spitz is a senior writer for Spin magazine and is highly regarded for his in-depth interviews with some of our biggest cultural icons. The author of We Got the Neutron Bomb: The Untold Story of L.A. Punk, Spitz has also contributed features and reviews to the New York Post, Maxim, and the Washington Post, among other publications, and has appeared on CNN, VH1, and MTV. He lives in New York City.
After years of failing to duplicate its album Dookie's success, punk-rocking Green Day seemed dead in the water. An undercurrent of critical disdain had always held that the band purveyed punk lite and was an aggregation of poseurs compared to legendary punk outfits the Clash and the Ramones. Then the group's eighth album, American Idiot, hit the top of the charts in 2004 and stayed there, catapulting Green Day back into public attention. Spitz, a senior writer for Spin, sympathetically limns the arc of the lads' career from East Bay, California, in informative if unchallenging style. Probably headed for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because of their commercial success playing punk, a subgenre that has rarely exerted mass commercial appeal, Green Day deserves representation in rockin' library collections.^B Mike Tribby
