It was the band's first collaboration with producer Rob Cavallo and its major record label debut. ''Dookie'' became a worldwide commercial success, peaking at No. 2 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 and charting in seven countries. The album helped propel Green Day, and even punk rock music into mainstream popularity.〔 ''Dookie'' was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America for the shipment of 10 million copies. ''Dookie'' produced five hit singles for the band: "Longview", "When I Come Around", "Basket Case", a re-recorded version of "Welcome to Paradise" and the radio-only single "She". The album has garnered considerable acclaim, from its release to present day, winning a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 1995 and being ranked No. 193 on ''Rolling Stones list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.〔 As of 2014, ''Dookie'' is the band's best-selling album with more than 20 million copies sold worldwide. ==Background and recording== Following the underground success of the band's second studio album ''Kerplunk'' (1992), a number of major record labels became interested in Green Day. Representatives of these labels attempted to entice the band to sign by inviting them for meals to discuss a deal, with one manager even inviting the group to Disneyland. The band declined these advances until meeting producer and Reprise representative Rob Cavallo. They were impressed by his work with fellow Californian band The Muffs, and later remarked that Cavallo "was the only person we could really talk to and connect with".〔 Eventually, the band left their independent record label Lookout! Records on friendly terms, and signed to Reprise. Signing to a major label caused many of the band's original fans from the independent music club 924 Gilman Street to regard Green Day as sell-outs. The club has banned Green Day from entering since the major label signing.〔 Reflecting back on the period, lead vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong told ''Spin'' magazine in 1999, "I couldn't go back to the punk scene, whether we were the biggest success in the world or the biggest failure () The only thing I could do was get on my bike and go forward." Cavallo was chosen as the main producer of the album, with Jerry Finn as the mixer. Green Day originally gave the first demo tape to Cavallo, and after listening to it during the car ride home he sensed that "() had stumbled on something big."〔 The band's recording session lasted three weeks and the album was remixed twice.〔 Armstrong claimed that the band wanted to create a dry sound, "similar to the Sex Pistols' album or first Black Sabbath albums."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Billie Joe Armstrong Interview on VH1 )〕 The band felt the original mix to be unsatisfactory. Cavallo agreed, and it was remixed at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California.〔 Armstrong later said of their studio experience, "Everything was already written, all we had to do was play it."〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dookie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
