Great band. Gone Away is one of my very favorite songs of the 90s.

They were the first punk rock band I listened to (by choice). It all was a different time. So much simpler.

Too bad they strayed from their Punk roots when they kicked Pete out of the band for not getting the shot.

What a bunch of pussies. Great music in the 90's, early 2000's though.

Nothing punk about following the sheep and deserting a bandmate.

Smash was one of my favorite albums growing up then. remember reading the lyrics on the cassette tape insert.

that song was our "anthem" for the middle school trip to Disney World that we took in February 1999. Played it nonstop on a boombox someone brought for the bus ride down.

So is “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid”

I really liked the album Ignition.

“Kick Him When He’s Down” rocks.

Yeah I had all of their 90s albums, but that bullshite makes it hard for me to jam to them. Pete has Guillain-Barré Syndrome and said it wasn't wise to get the shot. Not only did they stop him from touring but not allowed in the studio either. How fricking messed up is that? There's now way he was the only musician not to get it, but they're the only band that took that action.

Smash and Ixnay are pretty good, then they completely changed their sound.

Yeah but that’s not the song I think of when I think of The Offspring and the 90’s


Self Esteem

Agree with that, even the 2 albums that came before those were much better than what came after.

always thought of "Pretty Fly", "Self Esteem" and "Come Out & Play" as novelty songs

this is what they were capable of when they set their minds to it
