Foo Fighters (cds, album, Nirvana, quote, band)

**sleepy jack** · 04-04-2008, 07:15 PM

Yeah but I'm really getting tired of the amount of Foo Fighters hype on here. Lucylamppost called them the greatest band going right now, Oojay said they're easily one of the greatest bands of the past decade I'm very curious to why they think this. I can make a list of 100 bands from 98-now that are all more talented, creative and better than the Foo Fighters. The least they could do is back up their opinion.

Foo Fighters are like the best because Dave Grohl is awesome.

First of all he needs to go back to his hardcore roots & find some inspiration in his record collection , hell it was him that introduced me to stuff like Bad Brains & Husker Du so I can't hate the guy for that no matter how many bland albums he makes.

He also needs a strong producer , Steve Albini or Rick Rubin would do nicely. Even back when the Foo Fighters were a slightly listenable he had Gil Norton involved (The man who produced The Pixies).
Also I think he should get some of his more credible friends involved for collaberations. I don't think it's a coincidence the last thing he was involved with that was good was written by Josh Homme.

and he should get back behind a drum kit.

Damn me for never making constructive criticisms in this thread

Don't be offended (ok be offended) but that quote is awfully out of character.

For you its usually "compare this bands music to something physically painful and continue to do so without ever leaving this thread"

I've not done that for years certainly not since i've become a mod.
I might make one comment like that every few weeks but that's it. No more than anyone else here.

I really like the Foo Fighters. Their songs are catchy, the music gets me pumped up, and the lyrics are fairly well written. I think all around they are pretty good.

I can see why someone would disagree that they are the best (I'm not saying they are THE best), but I don't understand why people think they suck so bad.

Because is mindless radio power chord rock that every band and their mothers can make and do make. It's such banal music I don't see why someone would have trouble comprehending someone saying it sucks.

When you say every band and there mothers can make, i think hmmm, why arnt they then? Simple many bands can physically recreate or play other bands music, but not come up with the ideas for catchy pop songs like Dave Grohl does.

You judge his work completely wrong. he is not in it to make a deep, meaningful album like many artists you enjoy. <-(take Elliot Smith for example) He simply has fun making the catchy fun pop songs and enjoys playing them, and having many people listen to them.

And before responding to that saying but its mindless radio power chord rock, i don't see to many others making as catchy, as fun songs as him. There is a reason he is on top right now.

his music is not my favorite, but i also do not believe it has to be meaningful, completely different and inventive to be good either. he is simply very good at making (as iv said multiple times now) catchy fun pop songs.

Another band i would put in the same place as him would be The Offspring, they are by no means skillful and inventive musicians, but have the same goal as grohl. Making there music almost a joke, so that people listening and the band themselves will have fun with it.
