The Offspring
Again, something I picked up from my sister – being in the room from across the hallway does indeed help. This was truly an evil sound. From my years in High School I figured that Metal was the type tough kids listened to (ie Guns N Roses and Metallica) but this was something different. It was a hurricane that demanded attention, it was loud, imposing and nasty. It was my first taste of punk.
Key Album: Smash (1994). Forget all that wimpy pop-punk rubbish that followed ever after - This is the real deal. Fearsome songs played with the intensity of a metal band, and attitude to match. I recall being frightened by this the first time around but years later I came back to it and was won over. This of course goes to show that things do indeed make sense when one is older.
