12. Vincent (45 or 46 Songs That Weren’t Good Enough to Go on Our Other Records, 2002)

“I know they say this is their worst stuff, but to me it’s some of their best. It shows a lot of the more human side of nofx that they show in their older stuff (before war on errorism) and the half-made “crap” songs sometimes show the full potential of nofx for doing whatever the hell they want and making it look good anyway.”

11. All His Suits Are Torn (So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes, 1997)

“In my opinion, this is one of NOFX’s most eclectic albums because of the blend of blazing skate punk, the gentler punk rock songs edging on pop punk, and then the straight-up ska punk.”

10. 72 Hookers (Self / Entitled, 2012)

“Looking at the lyrics, this is a song about what motivates terrorists to do what they do. Looking deeper, it becomes a protest about why we should pity terrorists rather than just hate them. Fantastic guitar work; a fun, catchy tune and though provoking lyrics without being overly serious or maudlin.”

9. Happy Guy (Punk in Drublic, 1994)

“There’s nothing I don’t enjoy about the album but it’s also not a record I admire or deeply love, it’s what it is, one of the best skate punk albums, with lyrics that are just as dumb as the one on Smash, and vocals that I like even though they barely hit a right note.”

8. The Brews (Punk in Drublic, 1994)

“Punk at its best. NOFX is true to the punk genre and The Brews is one of the best songs on this album.”

7. Seeing Double at the Triple Rock (Wolves in Wolves’ Clothing, 2006)

“The best fast song is Seeing Double At The Triple Rock which is just them doing what they’ve always done well.”

6. Bath of Least Resistance (45 or 46 Songs That Weren’t Good Enough to Go on Our Other Records, 2002)

“This is one of those cd’s that you can listen to over and over again and not get sick of it. it’s catchy without being pop-ish. every song has intelligent lyrics and the instruments are… incredible. great cd overall. I can’t tell you enough.”

5. Bob (White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean, 1992)

“Bob’s a good song if you don’t mind those stupid ska horns. That skinny dreadlocked dude rips on lead guitar and their drummer is pretty good too!

4. Dinosaurs Will Die (Pump Up the Valuum, 2000)

“Dinosaurs Will Die” is arguably the third most offensive, insulting the five main US record companies and how they have followed the same ‘tradition’ of a seven-record deal, all seven records only having “one good song.”

3. Franco Un-American (The War on Errorism, 2003)

“Franco Un-American” is about being aware of the problems in the world. What makes this track stand out is the use of keyboards, and it sounds great.”

2. Linoleum (Punk in Drublic, 1994)

“As soon as your needle drops, your immediately punched in the face by the roaring opening guitar riffs from linoleum, that sets the tone of the album as a exhilarating ride!!!”

1. The Decline (The Decline, 1999)

“This has got to be one of the best punk rock songs of all time. How can you compete with an 18 minute song that they can play live.”
