Insomniac will always be my fave Green Day album.

You cannot argue with Dookie, I love Insomniac but Nimrod (1997) placed my soul on a particular Orbit that I specifically travelled from the UK to the studio where it was recorded, Cornway Studio in LA and I took a picture of me outside the studio. When Green Day was touring Nimrod in 1998 they played in my home town Sao Paulo I still remember Tre Cool always wearing a Nimrod T shirt. One of the best times of my life. By the way there is a documentary on KZbin about Nimrod with the band in the studio mixing the album.

I wonder if Green Day would have blown up in the same way if they put out “Insomniac” first

[@TrippleNineSIXBandOfficial]

Probably not

[@makeyourself1988]

Difficult to say because without Dookie, there wouldn’t be Insomniac! 🤔

[@Ottophil]

86 was about how dookie made them “sell outs” in their punk community. That song wouldnt have existed on the first record regardless of what it was called

[@nevikcam6057]

That's a good question

[@billmcandrew9210]

Insomniac always

I played with the band during this era. Only half a song. But still
