I saw "The Goo" do a cover of the Supertramp classic Give a Little Bit at the NBA All-Star Game, and they absolutely butchered it.
Note to celebrity performers: if you are going to cover a classic tune during live performance instead of playing your own garbage, you best do it as well as or better than the original!! What a disgrace.
"The Foo" are definitely more talented than "The Goo". Dave Grohl has done so much with the band that's impossible to think of him as just "Nirvana's drummer" anymore.
I wouldn't say the Goo Goo Dolls are terrible, but then again I didn't see their performance at the NBA All-Star Game so I'll defer to your judgement there. I will say ever since they had their big hit with "Name" a few years ago (a very solid song), they have gone nowhere but downhill.
