    Question The Offspring

    I'm just wondering if anyone here likes The Offspring - they are one of the bands I personally like that never seems to get a mention under any of the threads in here.

    or let me guess what allot of people will say - "I like their old stuff better than their new stuff"


    There was actually a song called "I like Your Old stuff better than your new stuff" form a local aussie band called "Regurgitator" - mainly becuase allot of people would say that to them when they changed from being an heavy alternative band to a more techno-pop sounding band - no matter what they played though they were heavily underground for the most part, only earning a little main stream success from like two of their songs ever. They changed their sound not becuase they were trying to be famous, but because they play and write what they like to listen to. I'm gettig side tracked now. This thread is supposed to be about Offspring

    they are ok but never really got into them..i prefer chunkier, thicker type of music with big heavy riffs. I do like them though.

    Which do you reckon is their best song? Album? I reckon best song - Gone Away, Best Album - "Smash" with "Ixnay on the Hombre" a close second. Although, thinking about it - Meaning of Life is also one kick arse song, and of course there is Genocide or Self Esteem and Come out and Play - although those last two are a bit over played.I even liked songs like Original Prankster and that from their later albums, although I haven't heard their newest stuff - kinda lost interest in that style of music for a while.

    One of my favorite punk bands. I think when I bought Splinter, it stayed in my cd player for a few months lol. And I think Gone Away is my favorite song, kinda ties with Come out and Play.

    well, they were punk once upon a time. when they came out with that "keep em seperated" song i could hardly believe it was the offspring. just a few years before that i would have called them one of the baddest street punk bands in L.A. the guitar player from my first band was friends with and went to high school with those guys in costa mesa ca.

    They WERE Punk, but most of their stuff is alot more rock than punk.

    I think majority of their new stuff i would classify as rock - some sort of rock anyway, but at the same time, even some of their new stuff still has their classic punk sound to it, such as Da Hui.

    I think though they appeal to a different side of "punk" than the more classic or traditional punk bands, which I reckon comes from a more surfer, california based influence. Just hearing some of their stuff in my head, both old and new, and that's what I'm thinking.
