An addendum was added that was not formatted consistently with the exisiting text of the article. Additionally, most of the songs mentioned cannot be considered to have been officially released as Rancid songs. "My Life" by Sick of It All and "Little Rude Girl" were recorded for release on an aborted 7" on Lookout! Records, the ill fated Rancid/Avail split. Though these recordings have surfaced on bootlets such as the "Demolition Sessions," they have never seen a proper, mixed and mastered, authorized release.  The same is true for "Burn the City Down" and "Bad Policeman."  If one were to include songs available as demos or on bootlegs (such as the aforementioned "Demolitions Sessions," or "Demos From the Pit" which contains a good deal of unreleased material from Rancid's "Give Em the Boot" demo tape), the list of songs would be considerably longer and would be difficult to be considered complete.

The cover of the Ramones' "I'm Against It" did see official release on the compilation "Punk Rock Jukebox," however, it is not credited to Rancid, but rather No Brain. Lars clearly sings on it, but this does not merit it as a Rancid song. If the liner notes indicate that No Brain contains all the members of Rancid under an alias, then it would qualify; otherwise it must be considered a side project. Again, if side projects and alternate appearances featuring Rancid members were listed on this page it would be far too unwieldy.

Finally, "X-Mas Eve She Got Up and Left Me" was in fact an official release and has been incorporated into the format of the article as a whole, along with release information.
