I should have given some further background. Those 5 are my thoughts on what helped to create other punk bands. Not necessarily more punk fans.

Yeah, I was gonna say "Dookie sells a million copies" if this was about the popularity of punk rock.

I know it sold more than a million copies. Lew asked for the "moment" it started. Do I really need to explain this??!!

Yes. I, for one, would be fascinated to hear the story of how Green Day sold a million copies of their record in a single moment. :D

I'll explain it to you over a slice and a Fanta at Sbarro's.

I have not had Sbarro's in a while since I don't stop to get something to eat on the toll road overpass driving home from work in Chicago anymore. I also have not had Pizza Hut, Domino's, or Papa John's in about a year either.

I have not been to NYC yet other than to see a Mets playoff game so I have not had a chance to get any Sbarro's in NYC either.

I love(d) East Bay Gilman pop-punk (Green Day included) and saw them several times in college once at old 9:30 Club, Twister's in Richmond (which Avail frontman Tim Barry was protesting outside because of them being sell-outs or something, I told him "Dude, I like your band but I drove three hours to see Green Day, no way I'm not going in), at WUST with Bad Relgion and Seaweed (what a bill) and then in some weird warehouse thing in the outskirts of Richmond at some Frat party. At that show I was with two attractive awesome girls who caught Tre Cool's eye, so we went back to their car so they could smoke pot. I'm not a big pot smoker, I just wanted to hang out and talk about East Bay with Tre but he just wanted to talk to the girls. My other friend got out of the car when pot started getting smoked cause he fucking hated being around it. Anyway, Tre told us they were going to call their new record "Dookie". It might have been partly the pot smoke, but I laughed for like two mintues and told him that was the absolute worst name to call their first major label record. He said something like "Dude, Dookie is hella cool". So yeah, who is laughing now Mr. Tre Cool!

Thanks. I'll post some photos from each show when I get home, so check back later if you'd like to see them. I don't think they've been posted elsewhere. This board is all about sharing stuff right?

Hmmm, what about Dead Kennedys, I think they had major influence on hc/punk and lots of early hc/punk bands.

Flex, cool Dookie/Tre story!

if we are talking DC punk rock - I think the biggest development was the teen idles going to california, seeing a handful of the LA punk bands, and incorporating the aesthetic into the nascent dc hardcore scene.

I can't speak for the rest of the world - but for DC, the top five defining moments would be (in no particular order):

the cramps at gaston hall (georgetown university) - a formative event for many in the scene at that time
teen idles go to california (see above)
the hard art festival (launch of the bad brains)
dodi bowers buys the atlantis from paul parsons and opens the 9:30 club
minor threat release 'in my eyes' - a game-changing record (though an argument could be made for dischord #1)

Naw, I laughed at myself when I saw your post. I just meant to say that I was a big fan of theirs and didn't care either way about them signing to a major but I was totally clueless that they were going to have any kind of mainstream impact and thought naming their next record Dookie was just ridiculous and embarrassing. Still hard to believe they accomplished what they did from their humble beginnings.

1. Ramones play the Roundhouse - supposedly influenced a ton of Londoners to start punk bands including The Damned.
2. Sex Pistols play in Manchester - supposedly influenced several audience members to start punk bands including The Buzzcocks.
3. The Damned play in California - supposedly influenced several audience members to start bands. I don't know the bands but could speculate TSOL, Adolescents, Social Distortion, Black Flag, Youth Brigade, etc.
4. Black Flag tours across the USA - supposedly set the stage for how to steal calling cards to get free long distance calling and created a list of venues across the country to book shows on tours throughout the USA opening the flood gates for the spread of hardcore across the country.
5. Minor Threat visits California - I may have this wrong. It may have been Teen Idles as Danny pointed out earlier.

Absolutely. Especially in Europe. Bringing MDC along on the 2nd tour in early 1982 was intense..

Yeah, that´s what I thought. I´m not sure that some countries in Eastern Europe knew about Minor Threat in early or even in mid 80´s, but Dead Kennedys was pretty known punk band in whole Europe in the first part of the 80´s.

Minor Threat were pretty much unknown down under in the mid-80's compared to the DK's.

The Sex Pistols BBC interview was well-known though.
