2 of my favorite punk rock bands. Which one is your favorite?
Personally I like The Offspring more. While their newest album isn't great, their old albums are badass! The Kids Aren't Alright is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Most people in my class like Green Day more, most of them hadn't even heard about The Offspring which I thought was weird.
Green Day or The Offspring
Overall, I prefer the Offspring, but there are some Greenday songs I like more than any song I've heard from TO.
If this will lead to a eventful discussion, I will leave it open, but if it just becomes a two word reponse thread, I will lock it.
" Sadness, I had tickets to an Offspring concert recently, but i came down with the sickness, and the guy i gave the ticket to lost it on the bus. "
I really like alot of both of the bands old albums. I have to say greenday though. Longview is one of my favorite all time songs.
Green Day, only because they once made 1 good album and Offspring has never made a good album. (IMO obviously). Both should now be taken out back and shot these days.
"If i have to choose i prefer the old Green Day stuff, but if your into punkrock and your to favorites are Green Day and The Offspring it sounds like your living in the paste dude!

yeah you still have bands like NOFX or Bad Religion that are still putting out albums but its just not the same anymore.

I agree, but recent albums of Pennywise, Bad Religion and NOFX are superior to the stuff Green Day and The Offspring is putting out...
" Crazy Taxi aside, give a slight edge to green day, if for no other reason than having put out an album people have listened to this millennium."
"neither because they are both sellout pop punk pussies. "
Anyways I've always preferred the Offspring to Green Day, though I thought Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace was a little weak. Ixnay on the Hombre has become one of my favorite albums of all time.
well one of these bands still rocks and one got killed by the radio when they played American Idiot 24/7 that you hated every song by the end of it

Not trying to be a dick but those are pop punk bands. Not that I'm entirely against that. Just mostly against it. Also, total sellouts. So I won't take any of the messages in the songs seriously but some of it's fun to listen to anyways. Between the two I'd have to go with green day tho I think.

"I love most forms of rock, I just get pissed when people label other genres as shit because they don't like them.@Everyones_A_Critic said:I like metal, and punk, and classic, and most types of rock.

Is this really a question?
Like, really?
I like Offspring, but comparing them career of Green Day, they're not even close. I would say that early Offspring far outshines early Green Day, but the the fact that Green Day consistently matured their sound and approach and have definable moments as a band. Dookie, Insomniac, Warning and American Idiot are all amazing, fully realized albums.
The fact that the Offspring is currently winning this poll kinda actually makes me angry. Like it doesn't matter...but dudes. Seriously.

I mean, they are really popular, my mom likes some of their music for gods sake, but that isnt a reason to hate them.
