To be honest, Nevermind probably has had more of an impact on punk and pop punk than Dookie, just introducing alternative music to the mainstream as a whole. Stylistically? Not at all. But from the perspective of introducing music more like that to the world, Nirvana is your band.

I’ll check them out! Thank you!
I am looking to upgrade my guitar but I can’t come to a concrete decision. I currently play an Epiphone Wildkat Studio which I have enjoyed thoroughly, but I feel as though a different instrument would allow me to broaden my range further. It’s a very bluesy guitar with a beautiful fat and clean sound, so I’m looking for something that will contrast greatly with it. I think I’m looking for something that can really whine and scream, but chug hard as well. A Strat seems like a good idea, but I haven’t found one that really felt right in my hands. And I’ve tried some Teles, but they don’t chug as much as I am looking for. If anyone has any suggestions, my ears are open.
Across the genre and associated genres, what album or albums have had the most influence across the board? Obviously it would be very easy to say the Ramones or Sex Pistols’ first albums, or Dookie/Enema, so let’s see some really juicy answers. I think Suffer by Bad Religion was kind of a big turning point into everything becoming much more musical and is among the best skatepunk albums there are. I also think Life’s Not Out To Get You by Neck Deep kinda started the nü school punk sound we’re hearing all over.
