I agree. Of course I will always love Nirvana, but Grohl exceeded all expectations and survived the genre. Not a lot of people can say that.
Being the huge Nirvana fan I was, it was probably the only reason I picked up the Foo Fighters' debut album. Boy am I glad I did. They have continued to wow me. I think Wasting Light has been their best album yet, besides MAYBE their first one.
I'm a Colour and the Shape guy, though I really enjoyed the first one, Echoes, and One by One as well. I'm not sold on Wasting light. I think it's good but I don't think it's on par with some of their other albums for me.
Color and the Shape is my personal favorite, but I don't think it's their "best". I think for me, it has more sentimental value.
I kinda want to hold a bunch of you down and punch you in the grundle with an Anti Nowhere League fist until you embrace the greatness of Filth. or Motorhead. or Acid Bath. or Anthrax. or Joe the Boss.
no...no they aren't. You would't even know who they were if it wasn't for you know who's "other" band
The subject of this thread is very true, Alice In Chains new stuff is ok, but nothing real good has happened since the mid 90's
There's also the fact that the entire first album was written and recorded by Dave Grohl, and Dave Grohl only. Impressive stuff.
Well one guitar part was played by someone else so not 100% just like 99%
Grohl is awesome though.
Sadly the one thing that the buzzfeed article misses is that Dave Grohl is a real life Animal (from the Muppets)

Not sure of all those, but I know Motorhead and Anthrax came out more than 20 years ago
Dave Matthews Band
Haha good one. Oh wait....really?
No doubt the Foo is talented, but no way the best thing to happen to music in the last 20 years.
Did they help develop the genre? Sure. But inspiration draws on past influences.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Foos. They were my first concert I ever went to in 94 and they put on an incredible show. But personally, if I had to pick one band in the last 20 year's, it would be DMB.
Haha seriously? Born in the USA? What is that song, three chords?
Name one better. Only thing close is RATM but they were like a hurricane, fast strong and left a wake of destruction.
I mean it all depends on taste in the end, but the Foos have done more to keep rock in the mind of mainstream music fans than anyone else, they've been able to use their popularity to draw people to things like vinyl and analog recording and so on.
And if you watched the video at the beginning, you'd have a real grasp on the pure awesomeness of Dave Grohl
Jack White singlehandedly dumps Dave on his ass.
I like the foo fighters, but seriously???
Not trolling. Healthy discussion
We are both guilty of HUGE gerneralized statements of "truth".
Black keys, White Stripes, I could name a dozen more, but I guess "rock" is a pretty narrow pigeon hole.
Foo are a little pop for my tastes but unquestionably talented.
Jack White is my smoking gun.
I will take about as much argument on that subject as I do from people who don't believe in evolution.
