Even though I've never been a huge fan I love the song ''The Pretender''...incredible...G

Foo Fighters are strange. They are a good band but with their songs I either love them or don't like them at all. One of my fav. songs of all time though is Everlong. I also love Times Like These and Best Of You.

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:

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.

Who here likes The Foo Fighters?
 

Alrite, Im just interested to hear peoples thoughts on the Foo Fighters.
Ive always kind of just normally been into them but have never really ended up talking about them to anybody.
Perhaps this is due to their 'inconsistency' or maybe just that most people (including myself to a certain extent) view them as a 'fairly mediocre band'.

To tell the truth I'm only posting this as I've just dug out my old
'There Is Nothing Left To Lose' album (which I havent listened to in years!).:laughing:

Well I didnt realise at first but I'm missing their first two albums:
'Foo Fighters' (1995) & 'The Colour & The Shape' (1997).
I have the rest though;
'There Is Nothing Left To Lose' (1999)
'One By One' (2002)
'In Your Honour' (2005)
'Echoes,Silence,Patience & Grace (2007)

My favourite is 'There Is Nothing Left To Lose' (1999)- favourite tracks being 'Learn To Fly', 'Next Year', 'Headwires'.
This is another one of these albums that seem to get better towards the end.

I also really enjoyed the 'In Your Honour' album with one side being mostly hard rock & the second side being acoustic.
(I know the Foo Fighters arent exactly 'Hard-Rock' but in comparison to the acoustic side of the album they are)- favourite tracks 'In Your Honour' ,'Free Me', 'DOA', 'Resolve' + the acoustic side is brilliant.

As for the other albums I own I aint really too bothered by them 'One By One' has a cracking song on it called 'All My Life'. :hphones:
I also liked the latest album they had out which after a recent check on wiki- was 2 years ago now!! :yikes:
I still felt like it was pretty recent when I got it the day it came out lol

Anyway Im interested to hear peoples thoughts on the Foos although I get a funny feeling they arent very popular with the people on here.

thread merged

i really respect them as a band, although i don't have any of their albums.

oh well, nothing a quick search and download can't fix

They've got some solid pop songs and easy to get into.

Sorry man, I did do a search beforehand but didnt see this thread...
Yeah, download the album 'There Is Nothing Left To Lose', thats probably my favourite.
