Dookie is a quintessential punk album, and is one of few of our punk albums that haven't been assimilated into other lists.

Batty, I have a good link for the critical acclaim side of things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dookie#Reception
Hundreds of other punk albums with enough good reviews you could fill a Wiki article with. Bottom line: without its place in pop culture, would it have the same respect as London Calling or Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables?
