Am I allowed to be in the middle? HeHe... I'm not the biggest fan of their old punk music, but I'm not all about Iris either.

Old Goo easily.
It's nothing against their newer stuff, the old stuff is just that awesome.
And for reference, I think we draw the line here at "Name". Everything off ABNG other than "Name" plus "Lazy Eye" goes to "Old Goo", and "Name" + everything since is "New Goo", IMO.

I'm a fan of both. I love that they have evolved so much but still retained the spirit of their music. Jed is not usually my first CD choice (haha sorry...) but I can appreciate it anyway.

There are but two different kinds of people in this world: Those who love Goo, and those who are infinitely stupid.

I love it all. I have my favourites, but that's just based on my personal preference, not which era it's from. They're scattered throughout.
There's a Goo song for every mood. That's what I love about it.

Yeah, it depends on my mood too. They just span all these different feelings or headspaces you go through so there's always something to listen to. Personally, I love it all, even if the next album consists solely of Mike banging a tintray off his head!

Our Goo,
who art in Buffalo,hallowed be thy 'name,'
Thy concerts gone to,thy cds bought,in Europe as they are in America,
Give us this day our daily goo and forgive us for liking other bands,
just as we forgive those who do not appriciate good goo, lead us not into temptation,with your hair and toxic songs,
Ah, men!!!

Now THAT would be interesting!
Poor Mike might get a headache though.
I have to stay, I think there is something to be said for both styles. I love the old stuff (two words. 'Sex Maggot'. Genius. Ok, that was three words. LMAO) I love how powerful and raw some of the old songs sound, but at the same time some of John's more recent 'soft rock' songs are absolutely beautiful - melodic, poetic and they can really get you right here *indicates heart* ya know?
The great thing about the Goos is that there will always be a mix of two distinct styles. John is the troubled poet where Robby is the upbeat rocker. In interviews I have heard them talk about how Robby is the 'anchor' of the group, sticking closer to the original sound while John is the one who likes to experiment. And I think that's cool. There aren't many other bands I can think of where two songwriters with such different styles can co-exist happily, and produce records with such 'flow' and coherence. There is something for everyone, and a Goo song for every mood. I think for them to rigidly force themslves into being 'one thing or the other' would really detract from the group.
I guess what I'm saying is, to some extent, we don't really have to choose. There will always be the ballads and there will always be Robby's crazy punk-y numbers. While admittedly the sound is more polished, we still get the best of both worlds.

well...there punk sounds like 80's post punk which is not my fave usually...but i like the goo's stuff alot.
I think the newer stuff are much better...my fave is ABNG...up beat but not punk...
leave the punk to the 70's era is my motto....

Cant say for sure.......I loved Stuff like Flat Top and Naked but I really loved Here is Gone too but didnt like Sympathy much. But being able to listen album to album to album has to at least say one thing for the guys...........THEY JUST FRICKEN ROCK!!!!!!!
But then I can sit here and listen to Def Leppard and the Steve Miller Band one minute and then turn on Missy Elliott..........I'm one confused little puppy when I come to what music to listen to!!!!
