The Offspring originally signed with Epitaph Records. “Ignition” rolled out in ’92 and went gold – shipping 500,000 units.

The album was the last to feature drummer Ron Welty, who was fired in ’03.  Although not as successful as “Americana,” it was later certified platinum by the RIAA. 10. Way Down The Line: Ixnay On The Hombre (1996) The song depicts a series of lifecycles that repeat with each generation, revealing a cynical look at life.

The Kids Aren’t All Right: Americana (1998) You can go home again… but it won’t be the same. The song was inspired by Holland’s trip back to his hometown of Garden Grove, CA and discovering many of his old acquaintances had major problems (unplanned pregnancy, unemployment, drug addiction, and suicide). “The neighborhood looks like Happy Days, but it’s really Twin Peaks,” noted Holland. The Kids Aren’t All Right 3. Gone Away: Ixnay On The Hombre (1996) The song was The Offspring’s first #1 on Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks while peaking at #4 on Hot Modern Rock Tracks.   Gone Away 2. Come Out And Play: Smash (1994) “Back then I was a grad student and I was commuting to school every day in a shitty car, driving through East L.A. Gangland central,” explained Holland. “I was there the day of the L.A. riots. So I was very aware of that part of the world, and a lot of that gun stuff came out in songs like ‘Come Out And Play’.” The line “you gotta keep ’em separated” was sung by Jason “Blackball” McLean, a friend of the band. Come Out And Play 1. Pretty Fly (For A White Guy): Americana (1998) According to Holland, the song references people who “are from, like, Omaha, Nebraska regular white-bread boys, but who act like they’re from Compton. It’s so fake and obvious that they’re trying to have an identity.” The lyrics are critical of “poseurs of any kind.” Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) The Offspring: Dexter Holland – Vocals/Rhythm Guitar Noodles (Wasserman) – Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals Greg K. – Bass/Backing Vocals Ron Welty – Drums ### The post The Offspring’s Top 10 appeared first on RockinTown.
