- Smash (1994) In 1994, the music industry – and most musicians – did not expect a bunch of upstarts signed to a small punk label to have a decent stab at taking over the world.
- Ignition (1992) Before they bowled through MTV and radio playlists around the world for the first time, The Offspring were (not so) quietly establishing themselves as smart, sharp and profane purveyors of melodic punk rock.
- Ixnay on the Hombre (1997) Sandwiched between the huge success stories released either side of it, Ixnay On The Hombre would be an easy album to forget if it wasn't so damn good.
- Americana (1998) It might be difficult not to view The Offspring’s second most successful album as a big-budget retune of the record-breaking Smash, but worldwide sales north of 10 million bear testament to the fact that Americana finds Dexter Holland's band in peak form.

- 'Come Out and Play' Upon first listen, the Offspring's 'Come Out and Play' just seems like an incredibly infectious song with a Middle Eastern guitar riff.
- 'Gone Away' From: 'Ixnay on the Hombre' (1996) Tragedy can often lead to inspired music, and such is the case for 'Gone Away.' Holland wrote the track about his girlfriend, who passed away after a tragic car accident.
- 'The Kids Aren't Alright' 'Americana' (1998) Loosely borrowing from the Who's song title, 'The Kids Are Alright,' the Offspring chose to make a hard-hitting statement about the troubles that youth go through.
- 'Self Esteem' The band's lyrical ode to low self esteem (and musical nod to Nirvana) struck a chord with fans, who've made it a sing-along anthem at shows for years, making it an obvious choice for the 10 Best Offspring Songs.
- The Kids Aren’t Alright (Americana, 1998) The pop-punk cliché of musicians hating their hometowns feels somewhat old-hat nowadays, but this exceptionally bleak cut from Americana drills deeper into the tragedy of small-town suburbia than virtually any of The Offspring’s contemporaries ever dared.
- Self Esteem (Smash, 1994) ‘I guess, I should stick up for myself / But I really think it's better this way / The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care.’
- Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) (Americana, 1998) Even in a back catalogue overloaded with sarcasm, Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) stands head and shoulders above.
- Come Out And Play (Smash, 1994) Come Out And Play feels like it was thrown together with the sort of frivolity its title suggests. That iconic recurring phrase ‘You’ve gotta keep ’em separated!’
