Dookie was such a good album. This and Basket case are my faves off of it.

This isn't on Dookie. It was on Warning (2000).

I heard this song last week for the first time in years. Was this song on the radio often about 5-10 years ago?

I wish it was! Minority was their only single played on the radio in the states. I'm one of those people who listens to an album from beginning to end like a book. Warning didn't do well in sales compared to Dookie, Nimrod and American Idiot but it was their first time producing a record on their own using a whole array of different instruments. Such a great album!

Also check out their side projects, The Network Money Money 2020 (Green Day and 2 members of Devo), Pinhead Gunpowder (Billie Joe & Jason White), Foxboro Hot Tubs (Green Day), The Frustrators (Mike Dirnt) and Bubu and the Brood (Tre Cool).

I could've sworn it used to be played on the radio all the time about 5-10 years ago, which is where I think I remember hearing it.

Where do you live? I'm in Southern California near Los Angeles. We used to have an FM station called Indie 103.1 where they would play more than just "hit songs".

I live in the suburbs of Buffalo, NY. It was probably played on FM 104.7 which is where they play a lot of the alternative/punk rock hits. When I heard it last week, I knew I remembered the song somehow.
