Ladies and gentlemen!

Today, I will complete the trilogy of American pop punk playlists with veterans NoFX. I discovered the band about eighteen years ago when a classmate of mine put some of its songs on a sampler. Initially, I thought that the songs were somewhat chaotic and short but tracks like ''Bob'', ''Pharmacist's Daughter'' and ''Stickin' in My Eye'' grew on me as time went by. I have a funny anecdote related to this band. When I spent my first year in Quebec, one of my very best friends spent a year in North Dakota. We both got girlfriends around the same time. However, his host parents didn't approve of their relationship and would always keep a close eye on them. Since my friend got quite frustrated, I decided to quote NoFX's song ''Vanilla Sex'' with the following lyrics to put a smile upon his face: ''Why do you try to make things illegal? Why do we have to be twenty-one? Are you afraid that people are having too much fun? Why do you care what I do in my bedroom? Why do you want to know how I screw? It seems to me you've got nothing better to do!'' Today, my friend and I aren't in relationships with those girlfriends anymore but even fourteen years later, we still remember that tongue-in-cheek anecdote. Without further ado, here is the link to the playlist of my twenty favourite NoFX songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3OhiPcWD7RbzYRpWXvodz8
