[img=011612_51oGN5K+PPL._SL500_AA300_.jpg] In honor of the twentieth anniversary of Kerplunk's release today, some members of the GDA and GDC staff have written their reflections on the album and its key tracks. Join us in listening to the album in full today to celebrate.

Released on January 17, 1992, Kerplunk marked a major turning point in Green Day's career. This was their second and final album for indie label Lookout Records because of how huge it became. It was one of the biggest-selling indie albums of its time, and Green Day's fan-base grew into the thousands during the Kerplunk tours. Due to its incredible success, Green Day was able to land a deal with producer Rob Cavallo and Reprise Records which launched them into super-stardom.
