Fall Out Boy vs.Foo Fighters (hardcore, punk, rock, album)

ahc453 · 11-15-2007, 04:16 PM

My roommate and I got into an argument this evening about these two bands. The question was who is more popular out of the two, not based on talent or anything else, just, who is more popular today. I told him that any teenager today has most likely heard of fall out boy. This may not be the case with the Foo Fighters. I have a personal opinion on these two bands but that is not what I'm going off of. Just popularity. What do you guys think?

I shall ignore the whole premise of this thread and go off on one about dave grohl.

Dave Grohl is the most infuriating man in music in my opinion. The guy has a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of hardcore , punk rock & 80s independent music , he always seems to come across as a nice down to earth kind of guy. And he does have talent even if you were never much a fan of Nirvana (like me) you just have to listen to QOTSA's Songs For The Death to see the kind of thing he is capable of.
Yet despite all that

He STILL insists on writing the most radio friendly boring middle of the road music for people who have no interest in music and just buy whatever they hear on TV or Radio.

Dave , mate , I want to like you but f*ck me you make it difficult.

Agreed. And it's even more annoying because there's a handful of old FF songs I actually like even if I don't really listen to them, but their last double album was one of the blandest things I've ever heard.

It's Songs for the Deaf btw.
