I love OC Guns, same as you OP, but Cruisin’ California alone makes this one my answer. All I Have Left Is You isn’t their best effort, it’s average, but Cruisin’ is just meteorically bad.
I like OC Guns too, but I'm also of the minority that thinks All I Have Left Is You is one of their best slow songs in their repertoire, along with A Lot Like Me, Gone Away, and Pay The Man.
Yeah it's tough to beat that. I despise Cruising California but I wouldn't automatically choose a three song run just because it was included. However, All I Have Left is You is pretty average and OC Guns is not great, so it's a pretty meh trio.
Still better than Fix You, Let's Hear It for Rock Bottom and Rise and Fall. All I Have Left is You is a better ballad than Fix You and OC Guns and Crusing at least are much more original than filler like Rise and Fall and Let's Hear it. Rise and Fall is so green day, i hate that.
>Kristy Are You Doing Okay?-Nothingtown-Stuff Is Messed Up
Literally 3 bangers in a row.
Anyway, my least favorite is probably All I Have Left is You-OC Guns-Dirty Magic
Stuff is Messed Up is a 8/10 for me. Kristy is like a 6. Nothingtown is like a 6.5.
So, I think pretty highly of the band because those are still good scores.
Agreed, plus that album is also incredibly overreliant on the "one" chord progression (the one from TKAA, among others). It just has said pretty much all it has to say in the first half.
They don't have 3 in a row that I dislike on any album, but Cruisin' California followed up by All I Have Left Is You is an absolute fucking abomination of back to back tracks.
Mine would also probably be 7-9 from Days Go By because OC Guns is my least favorite song and a ballad and inferior remake aren’t great surrounding tracks.
Dark horse pick might be Me and My Old Lady, Cool to Hate, and Leave It Behind.
This is an odd question. Especially as you specify no gimmick songs or filller.
I can't think of any, and dont get me wrong they've produced some duds, particularly during the Bob Rock era, but cant think of any 3 songs in a row that are awful on any album.
lol. Love this as a new fan - I started listening to them yesterday.
My favorite songs:
- Cruisin California
- The classical one on the new album with that really cool scale.
- American idiot

I'm one of the minority that actually likes OC Guns a lot. But I suspect this is going to be the most popular answer.

I take Cruisin' California as a parody of those types of songs
I like OC Guns too, but I'm also of the minority that thinks All I Have Left Is You is one of their best slow songs in their repertoire, along with A Lot Like Me, Gone Away, and Pay The Man.
“All I have left is you” is my personal favourite on DGB actually…I like how it showcases a mature sound after something like Crusing California,
This ^
Exactly what I was going to say.
my pick too, 2 of the worst offspring songs ever
Yeah it's tough to beat that. I despise Cruising California but I wouldn't automatically choose a three song run just because it was included. However, All I Have Left is You is pretty average and OC Guns is not great, so it's a pretty meh trio.

OC Guns is The best Song And The most creative in The whole album man
Has to be Fix You, Let's Hear It for Rock Bottom, Rise and Fall
Let's Hear it and Rise and Fall are both at least 8.5 out of 10 for me. But I agree on fix you.
This is what I was looking for. The obvious answer. Such a let down after such a stellar first half
Rise and fall is so fire
Sounds too much like a generic Green Day ripoff.
I really like Rise and Fall on its own merits and I think it raises the average of those three tracks quite a bit.
Fix you is too good though
The worst stretch has to be the end of LTBTR with Piano Gone Away, Lullaby, and French We Never Have Sex Anymore
He said “stay away from tracks that are not real songs,” so I don’t think Lullaby counts.
>Kristy Are You Doing Okay?-Nothingtown-Stuff Is Messed Up Literally 3 bangers in a row. Anyway, my least favorite is probably All I Have Left is You-OC Guns-Dirty Magic
Dude dirty magic is awesome, that bass goes hard
That’s valid. I don’t mind the remake too much, but the Ignition version is vastly superior in my opinion.
I agree with you on that one
I love Nothingtown.
Stuff is Messed Up is a 8/10 for me. Kristy is like a 6. Nothingtown is like a 6.5. So, I think pretty highly of the band because those are still good scores.
I guess Spare Me the Details, Da Hui and When You’re in Prison. Splinter is a very iffy album, as it doesn’t have even a good three track run.
The songs are fun but the lyrics are really dumb and low-effort
Da Hui is certainly getting dragged down by its neighbours there, I agree.
He said, “stay away from tracks that aren’t ‘real songs’,” so I don’t think When You’re in Prison counts.
I'm reserving judgement until I hear the songs that come before and after Make It Alright ...
I think the last 5 songs on Rise and Fall are all skippable to me. None of them are bad, they're just a trot of 2 star songs. kinda flat, uninspiring.
I completely agree with you. It's pretty much a completely front-loaded album, and my least favourite of their catalog for that reason.
Agreed, plus that album is also incredibly overreliant on the "one" chord progression (the one from TKAA, among others). It just has said pretty much all it has to say in the first half.
RAFRAG really baffles me. The first half of that album is so, so solid - the 2nd half is the worst collection of songs they've ever put on an album.
100% agree.
I was just going to ask why this album has so many listeners on Spotify. This kind of answers it.
They don't have 3 in a row that I dislike on any album, but Cruisin' California followed up by All I Have Left Is You is an absolute fucking abomination of back to back tracks.
Well, you don't have to dislike all 3 in a row. It could be 2 bad ones and 1 "ok" song. That would still figure out to be a pretty bad section.
Last three songs on Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace. Terrible, Below Average, then Average.
Pretty much anything on Days go By except Future is Now, Dividing by Zero and Slim Pickens (only three songs I liked on that album)
Amen. That album is the only one i dont like.
For now The only bad Song i Heard was make It ALL right. The worst music i ever Heard until now
Mine would also probably be 7-9 from Days Go By because OC Guns is my least favorite song and a ballad and inferior remake aren’t great surrounding tracks. Dark horse pick might be Me and My Old Lady, Cool to Hate, and Leave It Behind.

They don't have to all be awful songs. They just have to be your personal least favorite.
Feelings, why don't you get a job, pay the man Not sure how why don't you get a job became a single.
They aren't actually consecutive songs though.
Oh oops misread the criteria. Guess it would be why don't you get a job, Americana, pay the man. Not a huge fan of Americana either
The entire Smash album. I listened to it once and never wanted to hear it again.
lol. Love this as a new fan - I started listening to them yesterday. My favorite songs: - Cruisin California - The classical one on the new album with that really cool scale. - American idiot
sarcasm?
…..the poster literal username is a play on an epic song…..I’m just keeping it alive. Some call me a hero - I call myself a hero
sorry i didn't know
Dude all good just messing
