They one of the greatest punk bands ever along with Bad Religion, Green Day, Iggy Pop/ the stooges, Sex Pistols, and rise against but the greatest punk band ever is The Clash. yeah the post punk & revival is stupid punk never died it just chnaged a little and now we have no or very few punk bands cause all that emo shit, they're stupid saying the emo bands are punk they're a disgrace

Lick my balls. I like the Biography. And the band rocks. Close case.

The band bio here needs to be ripped down. The "derivative" approach to any music is a useless critical tool. All music is derivative; nothing is made in a vacuum. Rancid drew upon everything before them (elements in place long before The Clash) and melted it into something new, sweeping & enduring. There is no "debate over their significance," other than in old-fashioned circles who don't want to recognize that Rancid made many "first wave" bands a mute point, making those bands seem like a sort of warming-up of the punk mode Rancid would later crystallize. Sounds like another review written by one who thought punk was dead in the 80s with all that revival & post-punk nonsense.

one of the awesomest punk bands ever. all their songs a great.

I love all their albums, and all their songs.They will always be my favorite punk band.

Rancid always has been and always will be a classic of American Punk. If you haven't heard it, listen and fall in love.

by far the best punk album I've ever heard

You think the songs on the cd make you want to get up and punch someone in the face, its an obligation to see this band live because the energy is like nothing ive ever experienced at any other show.

Matt Freeman is one of the best bassist around. Hes the reason I started playing

They put out the best albums. They sing about the coolest shit. They have the best energy in their songs, if you ain't feeling it then you must be dead. They put on the best live shows. I've been hooked since '94. They are for sure my all time favorite band. Forever Thanks Rancid. See ya in the pit.............
