The Offspring is a Punk/nu-metal band that was formed in the early 80s by Dexter Holland (vocals), Kevin Wasserman (guitarist), Greg Kriesel (bassist), and Ron Welty (drummer).

Yeah so far I've heard some kick ass songs such as Mota, Beheaded, Pay the Man, and TotalImmortal. I would have to say that my favorite Offspring song would have to be Not the One from Smash, or TotalImmortal from the Me Myself and Irene Soundtrack.	interstellar
My favourite one has to be: ' Can't get My Head (Around You)..From 'Splinter' that song is awesome! I think they should've create a better video, but the doesn't really matter too much to me...	Hellz_Hunny

I'd have to day my favorite is either The Kids Aren't Alright or Staring At The Sun. Both are from Americana.	therave
Funny thing everybody says thier gretest song is from americana or splinter.. I'd say thats their worst albums, but none of offsprings albums are bad.. Anyway thier greatest song is Dirty magic from Ignition... Just so you know...	anthrox
