Allister vs. Goldfinger

[Daveyhavok832]

Who is king of late 90's/early 00's pop punk who never quite achieved Blink, Green Day, MxPx status? my suggestions are the aforementioned, along with Home Grown, the Movielife, MEST, and Bodyjar...

[duhpunk]

Goldfinger.

although i enjoy allister as well.

[mrzippo3]

Allister couldn't hold a candle to Goldfinger.

[Dr. Acula]

Goldfinger owns Allister. fo sho.

[yoyoninjagirl]

Goldfinger

[duhpunk]

poll? im sure it will be lopsided

[Shatter590]

in sticking with my tradition, im gonna be the lone voice that says allister

[Dan CiTi]

Goldfinger. End of disscussion.

[Buried A Lie]

I enjoyed Allister, but Goldfinger are much better.

[myworstmistakes]

nope, i'm with ya.

[Troggy]

Goldfinger was a little earlier than Allister, I wouldn't really lump them together. Allister was just a somehow-under-the-radar drive thru records band. Can't say I don't enjoy Last Stop Suburbia, though.

Allister has a lot more poppy feel to them also.

Yeah goldfinger was ska-ish for a while. Superman, that was a great song.

Superman was/is a fun song.

[Dr. Acula]

I always loved that Allister took 10 years before records...like they were constructing this huge, progessive opus...and then yea....more 30 min pop punk and that was there demise.

[halifaxonfire]

they started before late 90's, but i think No Use For A Name would fit here too.

[The Revisionist]

They are both fucking horrible.

[Geldofpunk]

I agree. They both suck balls...If I had to pick one pop punk band from that era, I'd say Northstar. They destroy Allister and Goldfinger both.

[CalIsARealBoy]

Goldfinger...the mighty power of 99 Red Balloons blows Allistar away

[Daveyhavok832]

I love Northstar with a passion, but I don't consider them pop punk at all. They were just a straight-up rock band. Is this Thing Loaded? and Pollyanna are two of my favorite albums.

Good call. I really like that band.

I agree, Northstar doesn't have anything much to do with this thread.

[AShannon04]

Goldfinger by a long shot, IMO

[Daveyhavok832]

yeah, but they're still plugging along today.... so they're as eligible as the other bands. I have a few of their cds, I like them a lot.

I've always considered them pop punk, but when you put it that way, I suppose you are right.

[lew_1987]

goldfinger are awesome, stomping ground is my favourite album by them.

[Daveyhavok832]

I like Open Your Eyes the best

[lew_1987]

I like Open Your Eyes the best

also a good album. for me it goes

stomping ground > open your eyes > s/t > hang ups > darrin's coconut ass

not really heard the latest album

[recall reality]

Goldfinger!

such fond memories of playing Tony Hawks Pro Skater, listening to "Superman" going down the Downhill Jam.

Hang Ups was one of my favorite cds for a long time, their self titled was quite good as well. Both of which were out before Allister put anything out. Goldfinger was sweet live too.
