Blazing out of Orange County in the early 90's, Offspring combined punk rock angst with catchy riffs, to explode into the mainstream and go on to sell many millions of albums worldwide.
This amazing collection charts their rise to the top of punk rock movement, and with so many hits included on this Greatest Hits package, the album won't dissapoint.
Track listing: Can't Repeat, Come Out And Play, Self Esteem, Gotta Get Away, All I Want, Gone Away, Pretty Fly (For A White Guy), Why Dont You Get A Job?, The Kids Aren't Alright, Original Prankster, Want You Bad, Defy You, Hit That, (Cant Get My) Head Around You and Spare Me The Details.
Performer Notes - This collection of greatest hits by breakthrough US punk-rock band The Offspring contains the songs "Come Out and Play (Keep 'em Separated)," "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)," and "(Can't Get My) Head Around You."
- This Australian version contains two exclusive tracks, "Next to You" and "Can't Repeat."
- CD contains 2 bonus tracks.
- Personnel: Dexter Holland (vocals); Noodles (guitar); Ron Welty (drums).
- Illustrators: Frank Kozik; Alan Forbes.
- Photographer: Christian Lantry.
- Plenty of SoCal punk diehards decried The Offspring to be "sellouts" when they leapt from cherished indie Epitaph to the major-label stables at Columbia Records. But one listen to this GREATEST HITS compilation points to a band that was never destined to stay underground for long. In crafting clever pop-punk that addressed the concerns of teen skate-punks everywhere, this California quartet cranked out radio-friendly cuts every bit as viable as anything peers like Green Day and Blink 182 were producing during the same time period. Social observations not only poked fun at suburban kids affecting inner-city mannerisms ("Pretty Fly [For a White Guy]"), but gold diggers ("Why Don't You Get a Job?") and the lost opportunities of a younger generation ("The Kids Aren't All right"). The sing-along choruses and irresistible bassline of "Self Esteem" succinctly paint an all-too familiar picture of lovelorn guys getting played by manipulative gals. And there's no denying the chunky, Middle Eastern-flavored hooks that made "Come Out and Play (Keep 'Em Separated)" such a ubiquitous presence on mid-'90s airwaves. A hidden bonus cover of The Police's "Next to You" tops off this superb compilation from one of the most successful and likeable acts of the mid-'90s punk-pop scene.

Wow, a lot of you are dolts complaining about the same thing. "OMG Therz no songs from Ignition or there self-title!!!"
Here's a few reasons why you should be quiet and stop giving this CD crappy reviews for that reason:
-Here's a novel idea! If you want to listen to songs from there self-titled or Ignition...go listen to their self-titled or Ignition!!!! OBVIOUSLY the Offspring have good material before Smash, everyone knows that. But did they have any "hits" or "singles" before 1994? NO. So quit your belly-aching
-This is a Greatest Hits CD. It is not "The Most Totally Favorite Songs of (insert irate fan here)" CD. Were all these songs singles? Yes. Were they all successful? Yes. Were there any big hits that are not on here? No. I rest my case.
-Some of you aren't even commenting on the songs that are on here, you're just giving it a 2 or 3 because of what's NOT here. Come on, this is not a bad collection at all. And the 2 new songs are sweet. OK, fine, your favorite songs from pre-Smash didn't make it on here, why don't you stop crying about it, realize that it doesn't matter, and actually talk about this CD not S/T or Ignition.
