My ranking scheme: FAV / GREAT / GOOD / DECENT / MEH - I replace the standard "S" tier with my own top level tier of Favorites. This way I can highlight albums that have a bit more personal meaning to me while still celebrating the albums that are deserving of a top level ranking. *Note: Every ranking exists within it's own isolated universe. Meaning the albums are only being compared to other albums from the same band. In this way, it would be unfair to compare one of my tier-lists for band A with a tier-list from band B. This ranking includes full length LPs only. No compilations, greatest hits, or live albums. Check out the list of Offspring favorites on YouTube or Spotify . 1.

Mike's voice isn't bad, but has come a long way since. Some overt religious references that might appeal to some but never really appealed to me. Fav songs: " Unopposed " / " Walking Bye " 2. Teenage Politics (1995) - GREAT Pro: " Punk Rawk Sh
Summary: Classic rockin' Offspring energy is back with Let The Bad Times Roll , their first album in nearly a decade. Review: Songs like "Army of One" and "Coming for You" take me back to the Offspring albums of my youth.

Pro: Good songs with fun energy. Billie Joe Armstr
