The Offspring

05-29-2005, 10:46 AM

Any OP fans around here?

The Offspring were the first rock band I ever listend to, and Americana was the first rock cd I ever owned.

I think their earlier albums were much better than the latest two, anyone agree/disagree?

Some of my favorite songs are:

The Kids aren't Alright
Have you ever
Self Esteem
Smash
Dirty Magic
All I Want

I was never a hardcore Offspring fan, but I've certainly enjoyed most of the singles they've put out. My favorite song is "the kids aren't alright", which also had a really cool music video I believe.

100 %, they lost some of their steam over the years. They more conventional
Strangely, I've discovered Green Day and Offsprings in the same time and at first preferred Offspring, now I'm more a Green day fan (love American Idiot)

My favorite Offspring one must be Self Esteem, I guess.

The Offspring is my favorite band. From their self titled album to Splinter, I've loved every song (and I can't say that about many bands). But the reason I love them as much as I do is because the lyrics to a few of the songs really hit close to me. Amazed, in particular.

Favorite songs:
Blackball (The Offspring)
Kick Him When He's Down (Ignition)
Amazed (Ixnay on the Hombre)
Gotta Get Away (Smash)
The Kids Aren't Alright (Americana)
Denial, Revisited (Conspiracy of One)
Long Way Home (Splinter)

Wow... I think I have to add another song to my list. I just downloaded "The meaning of Life", which I've never heard before. It's awesome. =O

They used to be a fun punk-as-played-by-Lego-models sort of trip, but lately they've started sounding like Quiet Riot without the fiery solos. Not a good experience.

Like Knivesout, I discovered Green Day and the Offspring around the same time, and had originally favored the latter. I think it had something to do with MTV pounding "Longview" into everyone's head around the clock at the time.

I am surprised that no one has referenced "Gone Away" among their favorite Offspring songs. It is probably my personal favorite by the band.
