[pic=Basket Case music video]020114_basketcase_dookie_20years.jpg[/pic]Fuse.tv has put together a collection of thoughts from various artists about the impact Dookie has made on the music industry and the direct influence it had with a number of artists. Here's a few snippits from the piece:

Green Day's Dookie wasn't the first pop-punk record, but it was the most important one. It's still the most important one.

There aren't many genres in which it's possible to make such a claim without inspiring major debate. But in this genre, it's simple: Dookie made it acceptable to put pop-punk on the radio. It introduced an entire type of music to the masses, inspiring a domino effect of sorts over the past two decades that has helped shape the way this genre grew.


They go on to include reflections from members of Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Taking Back Sunday, The Wonder Years, Silverstein, Bayside and Fireworks. Read the full piece over at Fuse.tv.
