The Offspring, The Beastie Boys, Van Halen w/DLR, and the B52s. Are there other bands that rock, but are often silly/goofy and funny? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Man, that's just wacky to see those bands in one sentence in reference to rocking and being silly. You're not wrong.

One of my favorites - Frank Zappa's Apostrophe / Overnight Sensation.

Bloodhound Gang, Blink 182, Sum 41, Sublime, Men Without Hats, They Might Be Giants, Tenacious D, Ugly Kid Joe, Green Jelly / Jello, The Dead Milkmen, Dee Lite, Squeeze.

If you're going to mention Frank Zappa you also have to mention "Sheik Yerbouti" and "Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch" by him.

Don't forget "Muffin Man"
