Dexter of the Offspring doesn’t like NOFX at all, especially Fat Mike. And considering how NOFX acts on tour (Warped Tour 06) Dexter would probably cry the whole time. I don’t like seeing NOFX with big label artists, so I’m glad they are not on the tour.

Haha, I wish we had a radio station that played punk rock. Who even came up with this idea? I don’t like it.

NOFX probably have sold more records than Rancid overall. They have put out a lot more albums over the years so that makes prefect sense. But they never had a single CD that sold as much as “And Out Come The Wolves” (or possibly “Life Won’t Wait”, I’m not sure about that one). “Wolves” was a platinum record and the best NOFX ever did was sell gold on “Punk In Drublic”. And I’ve never heard NOFX on the radio. If I were to listen to my local 90′s radio station today, I would hear about 4 songs from Green Day , 2 or 3 from Offspring and 1 each from Bad Religion and Rancid and that is why they are “the big 4 of 90′s punk rock”.

As far as I know NOFX have sold more records than Rancid.

I might argue that NOFX should be there in place of Bad Religion. Obviously Bad Religion’s output in the 90′s is super important to the development of punk rock, but I feel like they were already established as a force to be reckoned with before the 90′s even happened (especially after the 1-2-3 punch of Suffer, Against the Grain and No Control) while the other bands were still developing their respective sounds. And then 1994 (okay, 1995 for Rancid) happened and they all finally had that sound that could be defined as their own, just as Bad Religion had done before them.
