Mmm, let's see, they write boring, mediocre safe radio rock songs, that are nothing different, and nothing new. Dave Grohl is an awful lyricist, really, and they are all average muscisians, who basically follow the same formula for every song, and create average music that is nothing special. I don't understand what they have about them that makes them any differnet from any other band that's around

And it's not like I hate them or anything
'Cause I'll listen to them from time to time, I don't particularly mind
But I'll admit that they are nothing more than medicore.


And did that really require two post?
Dave Grohl is not an average musician. in my opinion, he is special. Kurt Cobain was a lyricist of the highest order, but lacked vocal talent. Dave Grohl has the whole package.

Dave is aan avergae musician. He's guitar playing is well...bad I mean I've only been playing for 4 months and I can play as well as him. His songwriting his just to safe...unlike Nirvana.

They are immensly mediocre

Although I do like Dave Grohls voice...
Have you ever heard Marigold by Nirvana? Dave is on vocals and guitar...really good.

That is a good song

But again, that was with Nirvana,
Not the Foo Fighters

Actually that wasn't really Nirvana Liz, considering Kurt had nothing to do with the track.

Dave Grohls lyrics make me cringe:\

And Kurt didn't need amazing vocals
He was a great frontman

They are a great band, and very good. But i would not put them on this godly level you are because they are not the slightest bit orgonal.

Dont get me wrong though, they make wonderful music.

'The Color and the Shape', and 'Nothing Left to Lose' are both very good albums full of great songs and catchy hooks. Ever since the acoustic album
things have gone downhill. That big single, 'Road to Ruin' is a great tune but it's the ONLY more than average song on the album.
The best thing Dave's done in ten years is the QOTSA album. Maybe he should take a break for a while and play drums. I don't mean that as an insult in any way- he's an awesome drummer. It would give him time to recoup. How many other artists have that option?

I never said he was a bad drummer, but he's guitar playing is average but then again Kurt wasn't that great either, but he was an amazing song writer and singer.

But I s'pose, looking at it from a more ehm...positive angle, the Foos have definitely accomplished what they seemingly set out to do. I mean, as far as poppy radio-rock goes, you can't get any better than them. "Everlong" is a nice song, and has a great video as well (which is a huge compliment coming from me, considering I often find music videos really corny and stupid and pointless).
My thoughts exactly.
