I was always a little annoyed with it because while it's a great album, I was in love with Pack Up The Cats by Local H which had come out in September 1998 and this would come out in November 1998.
Local H's "All the Kids are All Right" would unfortunately be overshadowed by Offspring's somewhat-similarly-titled "The Kids Aren't Alright." Both great songs, but one is from ~~a~~ my no-name band that holds a special place in my heart.
Local H is not a "no-name band". You take that back!
Ok, they're my no-name band because I was the only person who ever seemed to know who the hell they were!
...but I grew up in Washington so non-local acts were really overshadowed by the sheer number of bands from the greater Seattle area, so maybe that's why. Hell, Mudhoney even came and played a show in my shitty small town because Steve Turner's nephew lived there (and drove his old car).
I've seen them live all over the East Coast probably 10 times. love all their stuff.
