The thing that impresses me so much about Green Day is that they peaked, had the usual big falloff in quality a few albums later, then they peaked again about a decade after Dookie. I can’t think of any other band that managed to do this off the top of my head.
No way with Green Day. Insomniac, Nimrod, and American Idiot are all excellent.

Yep. Although I really just think of Warning as one OK album in a run of great first 7 albums, which is a pretty remarkable.
