With a knack for triumphant hooks, The Offspring brought California skate rock to the masses in the '90s. Frontman Dexter Holland might have an illustrious academic career, but <i>Greatest Hits</i> proves he's also on great terms with his inner surly teenager. Buoyed by plenty of ascending "whoas," Holland sarcastically takes down moochers ("Why Don't You Get a Job"), cheaters ("Self Esteem") and society ("The Kids Aren't Alright"), while guitarist Noodles' busy fretwork and the galloping rhythm section keep the dissertations moshable.
