If full-length covers albums are your preferred jam, we’ve already got you covered (so to speak) with 10 of the Best Punk Cover Albums of All Time. We also self-imposed a rule of only including one cover per band, just to keep this from being unequally overrun by prolific punk cover pros like the Ramones, Dropkick Murphys, MxPx and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. They may still be fun to sing along to and they do their part to make a long drive more bearable when they come up on a playlist, but there are only so many tongue-in-cheek covers of ‘80s new wave songs or snotty early punk bands that were trying to do nothing more than wink at their audiences by turning in a version of a well-known ditty that’s unruly, but nothing special. With those things in mind, there are many punk covers that just didn’t make this list due to there already being adequate representation from a similar pick. Third, in some exceptional cases, the cover versions unquestionably eclipse the original, as with The Clash’s “I Fought The Law,” Social D’s “Ring of Fire” and pretty much every Ramones cover. Punk mainstays like the Ramones, Pennywise, the Descendents, the Queers, Shonen Knife, the Vandals and more have all rammed (some more than once) the sun-kissed sounds of the quintessential ‘60s rock band through an amped-up, down-stroked punk filter. Second, punk bands love covering The Beach Boys. If Martha Quinn announced a song’s MTV video premiere-no matter the original genre-there’s a good chance that a punk band has taken a sonic swing at it. First, the 1980s seem to be the decade that is most ripe for the original source material to be covered. In 2017, after more than thirty years of career, the band sold more than 40 million copies of their nine studio albums, won numerous artistic awards and performed in more than a thousand concerts around the world.While surveying the ferociously fun punk covers landscape to compile a proper best-of list, there are a few things that become immediately apparent. Still active on stage and in the studio, The Offspring is embarking on a new world tour in 2015 for a period of more than a year> and has a tenth album in preparation>. First appearing on the local California scene, these groups quickly spread their music nationally in the United States and then around the world with the support of radio media, music television channels and a powerful and globalized music industry.Īfter Smash's success, Offspring toured the world and recorded many songs, many of which became hits such as Pretty Fly (for a White Guy), Why Don't You Get a Job, The Kids Aren't Alright, Original Prankster, Hammerhead and You're Gonna Go Far Kid, over the next twenty years following their first international successes. Other punk bands of the same period such as Green Day, Rancid and NOFX also participate in this phenomenon. This international success is part of a post-Nirvana context where punk rock is enjoying a renewed popularity. This album will sell more than eleven million copies worldwide. The band is internationally renowned with the release of the singles Come Out and Play (Keep'em Separated), Self Esteem and Gotta Get Away, tracks from the Smash album released in 1994. Formed in 1984, the group currently consists of Dexter Holland on vocals and rhythm guitar, Greg K on bass, Noodles on solo guitar, and Pete Parada on drums, replacing their historic drummer Ron Welty. The Offspring, or simply Offspring, is an American punk rock band from Orange County, California.
