Rancid, because the band before that sucked too. Generational suck.

Only one of these bands did a song called "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)" and that band gets my vote.
Green Day is NC. Might even say Rancid is NC.
If we're going for the ultimate suck-fest, why isn't blink-182 on this list?

Because I thought they came too late to be put in the same category with these bands. I might be wrong. I didn't Google the bands and their timeline. Maybe I should have.

How many cold ones did you have?

It's really hot here today so I'm drinking a Crystal Lake Beach Blonde right now. I have a Founder's Centennial IPA tall boy waiting for me a bit later.

Nothing like a cold larger on a hot weekday.

I'm white trash enough to be hit by Social Distortion like I was hit by Haggard or Jennings or Jones when I first heard them (broke, addicted and working at the roughest, most fucked up bars that would take me). Ness is up there with Lemmy for me. Deal with it.
I hated the rest of this stuff as a kid, but when I've checked it out as an adult I've found one album of tolerable material from the other bands. Ranked:
NOFX: So Long and Thanks for all the Shoes
Green Day: Insomniac
Rancid: ...And Out Come The Wolves (As a Londoner I struggle to get past the oi-cosplay vibe and the strangely specific references (I call cultural appropriation), but the tunes (esp basslines) are solid enough)
Honourable mention: the Pennywise debut (only just) and I guess you gotta acknowledge Bad Religion's Suffer, even though I find them grating beyond words.
The Offspring just fucking suck. (Though... their formula - mildly metal suburbanites take on the SoCal punk classics: Agent Orange w/ the gain turned up - is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me for a few singles... gotta admit it...) But that confession aside: real rotten shit band. Dreadful. No two ways about it.
