On this #NinetiesFriday I’m going with career spotlight for the band The Offspring. The first album was 1989 which I included as a Bonus Jam along with 1992/1994/1996/1998/2000 tunes (one from each record). I’m throwing in a Bonus Jam from 2003 album also just for good measure. It’s a bonus so not breaking the rules 😂.
The first pick from 1992 was the album prior to them blowing up with 1994’s Smash (Epitaph Records) which put them on the map with mainstream success. The 1992 album is similar vibe to it but the production just isn’t great. If you don’t like the first song keep going is my point. I’ll talk the rest in vlog below. ⬇️

The first time I heard THE OFFSPRING was with SELF STEEM, and that beginning of the song with the classic #lala lalala lala lalala" and then the explosion of the music is... uffff!! pure gold.
