"Don't like nothin' and I like that fine!" I first heard this song when I was 10, Offspring were the first band I ever became obsessed with. Pretty sure the lyrics of Dexter Holland and the lyrics of this song in particular helped shape me into the man I am today.

Same actually, they absolutely had a hell of an influence on me. I used to love them to death and had all the albums up to Conspiracy of One, that was the last album I bought and listened to.

Last week I decided to listen to these old albums again and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it aged and how much I still enjoy them. I feel like I relate to them more (but differently) now than I did when I was a kid so it's been a blast to revisit them.

I used to often listen to Ixnay on my morning walk to highschool, and it's definitely one of my favourite Offspring albums. The Meaning of Life, Mota, Gone Away, I Choose, it's just stock full of powerful songs.

It's truly an amazing album that I enjoy even more now. I was in middle school when that came out so I didn't exactly get the same meanings out of it that I do now.

Definitely remember listening to this on the bus in middle school. Some days the bus would be late and I’d get to listen to more of the album before school. Great album!

Hahah yeah! Good memories. Until you got on the bus and your Discman started skipping at every bump.
