Rolling Stone has counted down the top 40 best mainstream alternative albums of 1994 and Green Day's Dookie has made the list.

Dookie comes in at number one on the countdown, ahead of albums from Weezer, Soundgarden, and the Offspring, among others, claiming the top spot as mainstream alternative's best album of 1994 - a year which Rolling Stone claims as mainstream alternative's greatest.


Rolling Stone goes on to talk a little bit more the album, specifically targeting "Longview," "Basket Case," and "Welcome to Paradise."

Green Day's bit and the rest of the list can be found over on Rolling Stone's website here.
