Green Day
"Basket Case"

Released in 1994

Green Day is a punk rock band from California who did more to bring about a mainstream punk/power pop sound revival in the 90s than anyone.

This is probably my favorite song from their album "Dookie" which had several radio hits.

Green Day was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015.
