Foo Fighters

I listened pretty closely to Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace the other night and it's pretty darn solid! Definitely in my top three by these guys.... along with The Color and The Shape and There is Nothing Left to Lose... lots of good rocking stuff along with a few diversions and new sounds, and they actually make a pretty darn poignant piano ballad in "Home".... which is actually now one of my favorite Foos songs....

Yeah, that record is fantastic.

They remain one of my ten or so most favorite bands.... they keep coming out with such darn good material!

I never really liked the Foo Fighters. They just never have appealed to me much.

I think what people are saying is, they may be good but will never be remembered for doing anything very spectacular.

One of my mates got it , he said its really good so ill be looking out for it .
because its a "best of" album , does that mean theyre not gonna make anymore music?

not necessarily. more often than not 'best of' albums are contractual obligations. how long has it been since the last time they put out an album? when is the next one planned?

if the answer is more than 2-3 years it's compilation time. just to keep the name out there and the revenue moving. plus it's a great stocking stuffer. that. or they want to change labels and are just filling out their obligations to their old one. the chili peppers did this in the mid 90s and released a 'best of' and a 'b-sides collection' at the same time to switch from emi to warner or something like that.

I would say it is more of a contractual obligation thing... I really hope it's not otherwise, and I'd highly doubt it anyways... I'm not a Greatest Hits album sorta guy so I won't be buying it.... but I am excited to see what they do next...
