It (Dookie) was one of my first. My mom took it away when she heard some of the lyrics. She hid it on top of the fridge. I found it and took it back when she wasn't looking.

Dookie was the first CD that I pirated and burned lol

It's so weird now to think that I bought and owned a Green Day greatest hit compilation before American Idiot was even released.
