Offspring

they got a few good songs but some of there sh-- is just repetitive and kinda boring but dont get me wrong i got two of there cd's and they arent bad they jsut have good talent that is wasted i think

Their talent IS wasted..........they used to be so great, then Ixnay on the Hombre came out and it was all down hill from there.

Their best 3 cds are their first 3 cds. If you havn't heard them already, check out the following cds:

The Offspring (self titled)
Ignition
Smash

Exactly, so damn repetive. Not interesting.

Offspring....yack

Well of course its repetitive...all theyre songs consist of is 4 guitar chords...Blink 182 is the same way

The only thing I can remember about them is "pretty fly for a white guy". Enough said.

LindisTightK...........you must be rather young. They had huge success with their album Smash that came out around '93-'94. It is what launched their career. They had two chart topping singles called, "Come Out and Play" and "Self Esteem".......their videos were played non-stop on MTV as the next big thing.

Directly afterward they recorded their punk-pop crossover album called "Ixnay on the Hombre"...........after that, pure pop. They didn't release Americana with the song "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" on it untill around '98 I believe.

Young or not, I've heard the majority of their stuff but you are the first person I have ever heard talk about all of their other music. The only thing I ever hear about is "pretty fly for a white guy" 🙄

Unless you hang out with people who are 25 years of age or older.......ofcourse all you've ever heard about is "pretty fly for a white guy".....the kids today were in kindergarten when the Offspring was a great punk band that busted on to the music scene with non-stop MTV play and number one hits. I somehow doubt these kids in kindergarten were into the music scene while they were learning their A, B, Cs.......all they know is the pop stuff the band has been doing for the past 7 or 8 years

Talk to somebody a bit older who was into the music scene in the early nineties...............I'm sure they will tell you the same.

i think they are pretty good.

I agree with the majority here....Offspring have let it slip.

Smash is a great album, along side ignitiona and their self-titled one. Im a huge fan of all their old stuff, when they once looked like they had talent. 😄

But 'pretty fly' and 'original prankster' although if they'd just been a one off bit of fun; well they were honestly and truely crap. Well the whole americana album is. And the the rip-off cover of 'get a job' 😘

I liked the Offspring, their new song does seem exactly like several of their others though.

I do like their new song though...its funny, but still nothing compared to their old music.

exactly..........they pulled a Green Day and sold out to the wonderful world of comercial/corporate pop rock...........better when they were real, punk.

their tryin to be too many different things, and there music just sounds too laboured. the lead singers got a really annoying voice too.

i like self esteem and more of their early stuuf out of the new stuff i liked the kids arnt allright
