22 comments so far (post your own)IGNITION - that's all I gotta say. That album alone should get them in. Posted by Eric Holder on Tuesday, 05/21/2013 @ 17:15pm |
"Should have had "Gone Away" listed as an "Essential Song"." Posted by Darren on Friday, 10/25/2013 @ 00:01am |
Highest selling independent label album of all-time with over 14 million copies sold of their 1994 album Smash. If that alone isn't worthy of being inducted, I don't know what is. Posted by Brett on Tuesday, 12/17/2013 @ 23:59pm |
Generic and repetitive, nope. Posted by grtew on Saturday, 06/7/2014 @ 17:47pm |
I don't think so. They are popular and Smash was good, but let's wait at leat 10 years to relise their real impact. Posted by BulmaPunkRocker on Sunday, 07/6/2014 @ 02:13am |
No doubt in my mind that they deserve it. Best punk rock band with old Green Day and they inspired Blink-182. Posted by Philippe on Tuesday, 01/27/2015 @ 16:59pm |

Why aren't the in they are like the best ban I've ever heard. Posted by DjPon-3 on Friday, 05/22/2015 @ 15:02pm |
if green day is in the hall then so should the offspring in all honesty. They are one of the best independent bands of all time. Posted by samsan_07 on Monday, 11/16/2015 @ 03:32am |
Why does everyone think green day came first?? Offspring came first formed 2 years before (1984) and released first album one year before (1989). Both of them became famous in 1994 but offspring did it without a major label. Posted by digppa on Tuesday, 03/22/2016 @ 17:26pm |
Thinking about adding The Offspring to my 2017-2018 nominations list. Gone Away is such a powerful song and they just have a signature sound. Remember I was 19 I think when The Offspring and Come Out And Play exploded onto the scene. Dexter Holland has a powerful voice. I wonder if he could break a pane of glass or knock down a cardboard box house singing. Green Day & The Offspring were on a similar track but American Idiot vaulted Green Day ahead. I believe The Offspring will be nominated and inducted in the next 5-10 years. KING Posted by KING on Wednesday, 03/22/2017 @ 01:08am |
Well, I finally saw these guys at a rainy Rock on the Range in Columbus, OH. Have to thank the gods that they got their set off as alot of acts didn't that weekend (Korn followed them & only got to play 1/2 hour). Posted by Paul in KY on Friday, 05/26/2017 @ 20:16pm |
The Offspring should absolutely be in the HOF. Go see a show. You'll be amazed how many songs they play that were hits. It was watching them live that moved them to my number 1 favorite band. I likened it to seeing Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. An entire show of songs I'd forgotten about but love. The criticism of some of their newer music is unfair. I admit some songs had to grow on me, but the band wasn't playing the Smash album rearranged. They tried different sounds. For people to say the new stuff sucks I have to wonder if they heard Kristy are you doing ok? To me they are a band that has stood the test of time, have grown as artists and people, and still work hard for their fans putting on great shows. Posted by John on Sunday, 03/11/2018 @ 09:05am |
I think this will be the year The Offspring will receive their first nomination. It might be the best band I've heard as well as the Black Crowes and Counting Crows. Dexter is a Grade A singer and the band can rock the house. They deserve more support. Incredible band. Posted by KING on Thursday, 07/5/2018 @ 16:52pm |
The greatest of the 'pop-punk' bands, IMO. Posted by Paul in KY on Friday, 07/6/2018 @ 07:17am |

Cool band! Posted by Donna on Wednesday, 11/27/2019 @ 04:06am |
The Offspring are probably one of the most important acts in the history of pop punk. If record sales are a factor, then their 3rd record, Smash, definitely shows their impact. Smash is the best-selling record on an independent label, an extremely important milestone. Posted by Liam on Wednesday, 04/22/2020 @ 17:19pm |
This band broke through barriers with having a great flow and can talk about shit that happens in real life when you walk through life. They are the OG of late 90s rock and early 2000s. They just did the nerd stuff they did and always made the billboard. Yes the older they got wasn't the same but that goes for most of the bands in the game. They were the peak. When you here 5 seconds into their songs you knows it's a songs to make you feel good Posted by Pkpretzel25 on Sunday, 06/14/2020 @ 05:02am |
The Offspring deserves to be considered for nomination. In my perhaps bias opinion they deserve to be in the hall of fame just as much as Green Day, perhaps the most comparable band. Posted by Aguy on Friday, 10/30/2020 @ 17:51pm |
Most successful independent album anyone? I think that should really mean something considering how long it's held that title (unless it's been overshadowed by now). I think they're a pretty good band, and Dexter Holland for sure has a very unique tone Posted by Dan Hoyt on Tuesday, 04/6/2021 @ 02:03am |
As a teenager right now, green day was my first favorite band along with offspring and nirvana. The offspring has such unique and amazing songs in all of their albums, how are the not in the HOF?? Get em in there!!! Posted by carissa on Saturday, 12/30/2023 @ 20:17pm |
