I have to go with Ixnay On The Hombre. Its SO close between their first four albums: Their self titled album has some great punk tunes, and Ignition truly gets creative with the punk formula. Then Smash (the album that made them famous and is the best selling inde-released record OF ALL TIME) is where they really establish their sound, and express/exercise their message. But Ixnay has got to be my favorite. All of the songs just have an extreme amount of feeling, even the funny and somewhat sarcastic "Don't Pick It Up." It has the largest number of my favorite songs on it, and they all flow quite nicley. Plus it has an intro by the, the only, Jello Biafra :DDD But it all goes downhill after Ixnay. Still great and always one of my favorite bands, just, you know, downhill..... ;)

I would probably have to say Smash, But i really like all of thier albums. Thier newest album (Rise & Fall, Rage & Grace), has some good songs on it also. But as i said, i really like them all. They are an awesome band.

I TOTALLY agree. Even their worst album is better than most other bands best.

Really? I thought Conspiracy might have been their worst least best album! It wasn't that I didn't like the songs (as I said earlier on this page, any song by the Offspring is better than most modern crap), I just didn't think it was too great overall. They tried experimenting with a bunch of different styles and effects, and most of them didn't work. To me, it seemed like they were just pulling songs they heard on the radio and stealing the sound. One Fine Day was my favorite on the album, but even then, it was pretty unoriginal. I also wasn't to big of a fan of the whole reoccurring theme of broken relationships. Comparing this album to the first three is almost a disgrace in my opinion, but I am a die hard fan of their punky-er old days....

But that's just me. Thanks for joining the group and posting your thoughts! Sorry it took me so long to respond, I've been busy..... but I'm never to busy to discuss the Offspring!
