Foo Fighters

On the topic of the Beatles, he's often irrational.
But at least more considered and eloquent.

 

You said it better than I did.

 

If they are so great, then why does Mr. T pity them so much?

I like a lot of the Foo Fighters' material.
But if someone doesn't like the Foo Fighters, he/she is a snob?

 

Seventeen years ago, on the way to bury my dad, I listened to "New Way Home" over and over, as loud as my car stereo would play, the song speaking to me in that moment in ways that are hard to pin down all these years later. The buildup when it's just Grohl and one guitar picking to the full-on thrash of the song's ending found me pounding the shit out of the steering wheel, screaming along to the lyrics. I didn't cry, but my face was flushed, red, raw. I just listened to it for the first time in years, and I got chills.

That's the power of music. And for that moment alone, alone in my car, I'll forever save a spot in my heart for the Foo Fighters.

 

Not my cup of tea.

 

So what's everybody's favorite Foo song?

I can't pick just one, but my finalists would include The Pretender, Summer's End, For All The Cows, Monkeywrench, All My Life, Arlandria, Stacked Actors...

 

Everlong.
My Hero is prolly 2.
