I would count Circle jerks as a BF spin-off but they were great and so didn't qualify for the worst spin-off poll. I agree with T&B, DC3 and SWA were shit.

Gone's first album was mediocre and the only other one I heard surpassed the first in terms of mediocrity.

I never thought much of Descendents; a pretty average pop-punk band, but ALL were far worse for some reason.

Descendents are badass.

Gone is the answer, they were great live. still dig the 1st DC3 album with "We Feel the Sky" a fine sentiment that should be expressed more often these days but I can never get into Dukowski's sidework. Henry's early spoken stuff shows he has come a long way with that.

How is Tom's..Dog a spin off? former member? I remember when they were a warm up for Black Flag on one tour at The Channel in Boston, can't say I really cared for them, they just presented further "evidence" to the punkers that SST had become total Cali stoners. But then Black Flag came out and just blew the place out.

Other than Der Weinerschnitzel, I've never liked the Descendents .

and pretty much opened every show the band played from 1985 to the end.

I can honestly see why people think The Descendents kind of suck, but man, it just takes me back to so many awesome places in my life.

It was more awesome back in the day for sure.
