My favourite Offspring album is the one I compiled myself, comprised of all the straight-up non-novelty punk songs they still put 3 or 4 of on each album: stuff like Lightning Rod, Never Gonna Find Me, Long Way Home, Conspiracy Of One, Hammerhead, Staring At The Sun, The Meaning Of Life… they can write decent songs…
