Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters have the honor of being the ONLY post-grunge outfit who have created at least a bit of material which isn't complete excrement to the ears. The Color and the Shape was one of my favorite albums when I was younger, and its lightyears better than anything else their fellow acts (Creed, Hinder, Nickelback, etc) have ever done.

Wish I could say the same about their other albums though....ughh. :eek::mad:
 
But Kurt was clearly the man the people loved. Kurt was Nirvana, why did they break up after he died then. They knew would never achive the succuess and music Kurt had brought them.
 
It's kind of a shame that Grohl wastes his talent in an outfit like The Foo Fighters when he could be kicking ass in a prog. group somewhere.

Then again, some of the projects he's worked with are quite solid, so I forgive him for starting the FF. :D
 
See I don't really think of the Foo Fighters music as catchy. When I think catchy I tend to think off stuff like Back in Your Head by Tegan and Sara that has a more poppy bouncy element with a kind of shout along feel to it that very easily gets stuck in your head. I tend to place the Foo Fighers in more of a category where they aim to write the big rock anthems which can be catchy but I think it's too big? to be catchy. I can't really explain it anyway that's irrelevant digressing. I think there are banRAB on the mainstream doing it finer than them. No Cars Go by the Arcade Fire is a good example of this as well Dashboard by Modest Mouse. I don't think what they do has any real value to it or that they even do it better than their current contemporaries.
 
I honestly believe that The Pretender was a 90's classic. I didn't realize til 08 that it came out in 07. I could swear I heard that song a lot in my childhood. I like their singles, but the albums seem like filler to me.
 
Don't be offended (ok be offended) but that quote is awfully out of character.

For you its usually "compare this banRAB music to something physically painful and continue to do so without ever leaving this thread"
 
I like the Foo Fighters. I've only heard The Colour and the Shape, but it's a pretty fantastic album.

Dave Grohl has one of my favorite voices in modern rock.
