Whos Better?
 

Well i posted this on a another forum but found this one and liked it better so
me and a friend are arguing whos better and more popular:banghead: and i'm wondering what you think

SUBLIME

OR

OFFSPRING

thanks for your input

edit: would make it a poll but dont know how

I like Sublime much better, though Offspring puts on a very good show and I think they are underrated because some of their stuff is cheesy.

My vote goes for Sublime, although Smash was a decent album.

Sublime for sure, can't stand the Offspring.

I just about prefer Sublime but I think they are both fairly unremarkable bands. Although Offspring's 'Can't Get My Head Around You' is insanely catchy.

Although I enjoy both, I just started listening to Offspring's Smash about ten minutes ago and it's addicting.

I haven't heard Offspring on the radio in years except in SoCal.

The Offspring, almost entirely because of "Bad Habit". The following line is the greatest lyric in history:

"You stupid dumbshit goddamn motherfucker"

4srs though, they have other good songs. And I haven't heard a whole lot of Sublime.

I used to be hooked on both bands at different points in my life *hides in corner and shrivels into a ball of shame*

But, if I had to choose I'd go for Sublime. The music had a great feel to it and was a blast to listen to.

However, if the Offspring had stayed with the same type of music from Smash/Ixnay On The Hombre, I'd defenitely go for the Offspring.

The Offspring's new album is mostly rip-offs of other successful songs, but they've written too many songs I love for me not to vote for them.

Offspring for me. I actually somewhat enjoy Offspring's early work where as I find Sublime totally unlistenable.

I like both but from what I've heard so far, I like more Offspring songs than Sublime songs but that's probably 'cause Offspring gets more radio play where I live.

Sublime easly.

Sublime is overhyped and honestly I think some of their songs are just stupid. I'm not a fan really of either... The Offspring is the lesser of two evils here, so The Offspring.

Really? I've only seen them once in concert, but I was dissappointed because their show was lacking energy and they gave off this vibe like "Yeah, we're here...let's get this over with already." I must have just hit them on a bad night or something...

Lyrically, I'm going to go with Sublime. Both bands are fun to sing along to. Offspring has a little more crazy energy on their albums than Sublime though, imho.

IMO Sublime are just plain better, way better melodists and songwriters. Their funny songs are funnier than Offsprings funny songs and they're better musicians, Nowell had some sweet solos up his sleeve.

I used to be obsessed with Offspring when I was a kid. But now I see them as being just a decent band. I can't really bear to listen to Dexter Hollands vocals anymore. Noodles had some pretty sweet riffs though, gotta love that opening riff to Americana.

I think some people are criticizing The Offspring because they haven't burned out yet. But the fact of the matter is when they were in their prime, Offspring was one of the biggest (and awesomest) garage band acts. I still listen to them on occasion, just for the nostalgia of the first hard band I listened to. And they did have some great albums. Smash, Ixnay On The Hombre, Americana were great records, no doubt. Sublime was short and sweet. They just burned out long before their songs garnered them enough stoner fans. Honestly, I think The Offspring have so much more energy on their albums than Sublime, but their both still great nineties bands.

Offspring

I like them both equally.
I listen to them in different states of mind, so it really depends on what kind of mood you catch me in.

I'm taking the easy way out and voting tie.

Sublime hands down!!!
 

Sublime is so much better. Their third self-titled album was pure gold. My favorite tunes by them would be What I Got, Santeria, and Doin' Time.:afro:

When i saw them in '96 they were phenomenal, made me a fan because of the show. Saw them again in '04 and was surprised how much energy they still brought to the table. Either i caught good shows or you caught a bad one.

I had to have just caught them on a bad night. Like I said, I think their albums have mad energy, so it would make sense to me that their live shows would too. Looks like I'll just have to see them again.

Who are your favorite bands Live so far?

Hmmm.. I want to say Offspring is better, but that's just cuz I've heard more of them. Sublime is better. Yup, final answer.

it the offspring hands down...sublime has some good songs but you cant beat "head around you "the kids aren't alright" and "bad habit"

Suuubllime, kiddos.

Though I was a pretty big Offspring fan back in the day. They haven't aged well...creatively that is.

Sublime without a doubt.
