Tough honestly, been a fan of Offspring since I was young, had a bit of a more punk than metal sound. Dexter rocks.

Rise Against has one of my favorite vocals leading in Tim McIlrath, reminds me a bit of At The Drive in with vocal control and pacing, especially newer AtTDi like Relationship of Command.

I'll go Rise Australia

Good band finding new music!

Any opinions on their newest albums?

For Rise Against their latest album Nowhere Generation is pretty bad. Their previous 2017 release Wolves was pretty good, but for some reason the sound quality on it is pretty shitty. Their 2014 release The Black Market was a good well rounded album.

Haven't really listened to anything new by The Offspring but the song Turning Into You from their 2012 album was pretty amazing.

Id say if I had to compare the two that would be the difference. Where I like The Offspring songs, I like entire albums of Rise Against. Of course these bands really aren't all that comparable in terms of sub genres other than they are popular. Better comparison to The Offspring would be like Zebrahead who I think does what The Offspring does significantly better.

Both bands are just okay though compared to all the other amazing ones out there.

Both bands in their prime: Rise Against easily

but Rise Against has been absolute ass for the last decade or so

Revolutions Per Minute is one of my favorite albums of all time for reference

Rise Against died with McIlraths vocals

Seriously he sounds exhausted on every record post Sufferer and the Witness

I don't know why you tell me this as if your opinion on anything has any remote value. I mean, just look at my sig. That's all the evidence anyone needs to know your musical opinions are a complete joke.

Rise Against is currently bad, but they were previously awesome enough for them to take this.

Love Zebrahead. Not a band I would have ever guessed would stay relevant, but they've managed to keep changing it up through the years.

Early Offspring was pretty good. I have zero interest in anything they've put out for years, but I still have Smash on cassette tape from the mid 90s.

Im kind of surprised Offspring is winning, was under the impression people had a negative opinion of them these days. Glad thats not the case


People have negative opinions of both bands nowadays lol. It just comes down to which band brings greater nostalgia.

I tend to agree, their best Albums were Ignition and Smash, though Rise and Fall Rage and Grace from 2008 is a great album.
