    Well, they ARE my favorite band, personally. So I figured I'd introduce some of their 'good' songs to some of ya. I'm sure alot of you have heard a few of these songs, but...

    Suggestions:

    All I Want
    Amazed
    Bad Habit
    Baghdad
    Conspiracy of One
    Dammit, I Changed Again
    Defy You
    Denial, Revisited
    Dirty Magic
    Genocide
    Gone Away (EVERYONE's heard this one...)
    Have You Ever
    Huck It
    I Got a Right
    Jennifer (JENNIFER LOST THE WAR!)
    LAPD
    Long Way Home
    Million Miles Away
    Mota
    Nitro (Youth Energy)
    Race Against Myself
    She's Got Issues
    Smash
    Take it like a Man
    Tehran
    The Kids Aren't Alright
    The Noose
    Vultures
    Way Down the Line
    Why Don't You Get a Job?

    Well, that's about half of their songs. :) But in my opinion, they're the best. Notice how there's not very many Splinter songs on there, for good reason...
    :whistle:

    And the fact you don't have 'pretty fly (for a white guy)' on there makes me want to slap you silly :p

    The best album is Smash. It's the must-have rock album. Four of their biggest songs are on it, it's their heaviest and it's the most meaningful. My favorite cd of all time is Smash actually.


    And yes, everyone has heard "Gone Away". If you think you haven't heard it, download it, because you have.

    Oh man have you heard any of their older stuff. Ignition and Smash are two of the best albums ever.

    Yeah, I loved Smash.

    But Ixnay and their first album have a place in my heart. :hugz:

    Also, Pretty Fly is a pretty sad track, they have much better songs. :eek:

    I don't really know much about The Offspring but I do like them. I really like their song "Hit That". I like the video for it too. :D

    The Offspring in general kick arse. There are a few songs they did that I don't like *coughhalfofsplintercough*, but most everything else is amazing. "I'm a sucker with no self-esteem..." ^_^ Their music makes me happy.

    They're awesome. Splinter wasn't that good though. I think it's their weakest album so far.



    They're gonna release a 'Greatest Hits' album that will feature new stuff by them and a cover of a song by The Police. They ain't said which one yet though... >_<

    They're ok. I only heard 3 songs of them.

    That's awesome. It better have "Hit That", "Come Out And Play", and the new one being played on the radio.

    i think that song is ok, but i listen to it more out of loyalty to michael, it's like one of his favorite songs.

    Smash is definately #1.

    But I'd like to put their first CD in the #2 slot, I _really_ like their old stuff.

    Their non-album tracks are pretty good as well, especially 'Defy You'... of course. :chemist:

    As I've said in the past, I'm not a big fan of their 'poppy' songs.

    Original Prankster is decent, but it really doesn't do a damn thing for me. :)
