Southern California Public Radio station, KPCC, has posted an article talking about hit music from 1994 and how certain albums shaped the music industry forever, including Green Day's Dookie.

The list of music is taken from Shirley Halperin, Hollywood Reporter's music editor, and includes Green Day's entire Dookie album, along with albums from Oasis, Nas, The Beastie Boys, and TLC, among others.

The author fails to provide any insight/opinion as to why or how these hits have impacted the music scene, so I suppose we are left to come to her same conclusion on our own. Though, I am quite confident she is spot on with Dookie.
