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.
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).
