Dexter Holland, the lead singer of the Offspring, is amazing. Besides putting out the band's 10th album, he sold their record label, created a hot sauce company, and recently got his Doctorate in Molecular Biology. To say that is impressive is an understatement.

Oh and “Damnit I Changed Again”

[@glk5960]

“Gone Away” is so smooth, melodic and moving. Dexter Holland wrote it in memory of his girlfriend who died in a car accident.

[@kbusby4824]

Dexter Holland in an interview said he wrote the song after an incident that he and his wife experienced, a shooting at an ice cream shop. It is not about a girlfriend who died tragically. For an actual song about a girlfriend who died tragically in a car accident, try the song, Fly High to the Angels by Slaughter, about Mark Slaughter's girlfriend who died in a car accident while he was on tour. Nonetheless, Gone Away is a great song and one of my favorites by The Offspring.

[@SurvivnIn508]

Ironically, Gone Away was playing on the radio as I followed the ambulance in which my grandmother passed away. Still a tough listen for me, but great song nonetheless

[@katherineschmidt2075]

Wrong, he didnt write it, this was actually a cover song from the 70s I think.

[@katherineschmidt2075]

PS, The Offspring' s smash album was their 3rd album they released. Their early stuff is heavier and more punky, they got softer the more albums they released. Try " come out and play", which was another hit song off their breakout album Smash. Another band to react to. Silverchair. Started out in 1994 as 14 year olds who won a music competition for their song Tomorrow. Toured half of 1995 as the support act to RHCPS in the USA at 15 years old. Check out Israel's Son, Pure Massacre, Freak, Emotion Sickness, Spawn Again- they don't have a vid clip for that but pull up the lyrics and listen to it after Tomorrow and you'll be stunned at the difference between the 2 songs.

[@kbusby4824]

They reacted to Comedown and they loved it… now its is surely time for them to go back to Bush, and listening to Machinehead would be great!

[@nokindred]

This band is so underrated when people talk about the greats, mostly because they're a punk band that their core. Gone Away, Original Prankster, Come Out and Play, and Hammerhead are all songs you need to give a listen.

[@blechtic]

Punk has the non-commercial, DIY ethic, which gives you the double-edged sword of sell-out/not-well-known, that limits general appreciation. Skate punk, of course, is lighter, poppier version of an abrasive genre that generally takes a stand, which makes it even easier to dismiss as a valued artist. Offspring also veered off to jokey lyrics after Smash, which has the problem of making it seem like they're not taking the music very seriously and, if they're not valuing themselves, why should anyone else? There was a great band called Tukkanuotta, worth checking out, trash metal, I think, certainly extreme metal, musically excellent, that never got anywhere, probably because of jokey lyrics and because they kept booking gigs with hardcore bands, but maybe also just plain luck of the draw. Comedy just is a genre unto its own, because there is always that uneasy feeling of not taking it seriously and, if the band doesn't and the audience does, then the audience sort of becomes the butt of the joke, if only because their levels of commitment to the music may be reversed as opposed to the norm. That then leads to lesser commitment from the general public of the genre. It's one thing to be sarcastic while providing biting criticism, it's quite another to just seem to joke around.

[@onegemini420]

This was my introduction to Offspring as a teenager. This entire album rocks and every single song is worth listening to.

[@saintsataniko2116]

I saw The Offspring play an absolutely insane Halloween night show with three other punk bands (including Rancid) back when they were at the peak of their success. The floor was covered in broken beer bottles and slippery, so when I went to the bathroom in between bands all three sinks were clogged and overflowing with bloody water. And that was just the tip of the iceberg for how crazy that show was.

[@highheartwellness]

Ah, remember when this one came out. Try "You're Gonna Go Far Kid" "Come Out and Play" and "Gotta Get Away" - some of their best

[@shannong9863]

Man, such a rad tune. Come Out and Play is a hard rocking Offspring song.

[@NDE239]

The Offspring is an American punk rock band from Garden Grove, California, formed in 1984.

The first song you should have done was Offspring - Come Out and Play. Or maybe Self Esteem. Come Out And Play was their first major hit. It does something different with the drums you guys will like.

If I remember right, you reacted to "Gone Away" performed by Five Finger Death Punch. Well. You've found the original writers. They come with the comedy, the feels, the poignancy. You never know what you're getting hit with til they hit you with it. And they are giving it to you with an amazing punk style. You can't really go wrong with The Offspring, but I'd recommend "The Kids Aren't All Right," "Bad Habit," "Come Out and Play," "Half-Truism," "Slim Pickens Always Does The Right Thing," "Hammerhead" (the beat for this one will get you going GOOD), and "Fix You." Long list, and there's more I could add, but I'm forcibly cutting myself off. Cuz so many amazing songs...
