Recommendations for Foo Fighters?

[AcademicPistol]

So at least the band has a set of balls between them.

[Gucci Piggy]

Justice - kids dance music. Less than Jake - lead singers balls need to drop.

Foos - best rock band in the world

Discuss...

Well my fine sir, if you bothered to read the thread i've clearly stated I don't dislike the Foo's.

I recommending singles as apposed to albums is hardly me trying to form lynch-mob

[LEMON_WOLF]

Please tell me how my post about "Justice - kids dance music. Less than Jake - lead singers balls need to drop.

Foos - best rock band in the world" is incorrect?

I think you have issues with Dave, have you got a man crush?

[Vieuphoria]

Well if you'd noticed I want specifically talking to you. I was talking about the thread in general. You cat say that this thread hasn't fell into something it was never intended and thats an 'I think foos are... Thread'

[AcademicPistol]

I don't believe they have been critically acclaimed but Foo's themselves are aware of what they are which is pretty much what you said and I think they have done well to not use Kurt in way in there road to success.

I think the probably here was the sweeping generalisation that all Foos albums are dull, which is so vague and general that it sounds like someone is trolling or hasn't really listened to all seven albums in depth and is just making a passing criticism.

No, but when I do I expect to be pulled up for it.

Also your point's irrelevant as he said all Foos albums are dull, so he must have listened to all of them. I wasn't saying that he hasn't, just that the vague dismissive nature made it sound like he hadn't and therefore may have caused some of the backlash.

Don't get me wrong I don't mind Foo Fighters but they strike me as a standard rock band for people who haven't greatly explored to genre of Rock. This comment is likely to get alot of abuse but have they actually released an album that is critically acclaimed? I can't help but feel a lot of their early success was based on Dave's involvement in Nirvana

Haha well cheers guys, even if this thread has gone crazily trolly...

Weenie Beanie is a cracker!

Foo Fighters have nothing on nirvana.

[mrtourette]

May I interject here?

Personally, I have listened to them all and own 5 of them.

Critically acclaimed? 11 Grammys sounds pretty good, 5 of which for last years albums/singles.

Some will argue Dave's involvement with Nirvava improved the overall sound. I think his involvement in Nirvana made it harder for him to achieve success

So you claiming to explored more rock than the average Foo Fighter fan?

Pull you head from your arse, Foo Fighters are one of the best rock bands about at the moment.

Standard rock band? You can say that about any rock

[JBarbour]

You seem to be overly defensive about Foo Fighters. They have released some very good albums, but they also have released some very average albums, Grohl's even stated he wasn't happy with one by one. Each album though has produced big singles which is where a lot of their popularity is from, which also makes them an almost perfect festival band to do greatest hits sets.

I think his involvement with Nirvana did help them get started while being in the public eye, but they've built themselves up on their own merit, and weren't headlining festivals over here until they'd been together about 7 years i think.

I think it would be a fair assumption to say a lot of people on a music festival forum would listen to a wider range of music than your average fan, though not sure what that really has to do with anything.

They latest album put them at their peak atm, and they're a very good live band, but it's pointless saying they're one of the best because that's completely subjective.

long winded for a bit of banter
