They're Ok. I enjoy some of their music. It's weird to me that they're in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame while their metal bias has snubbed Iron Maiden and Judas Priest again

Maybe it's just something I've never paid much attention to before but I hear "Best of You" everywhere. Shopping, Spotify, radio, when my girlfriend is driving.

This is my view on them. Wasting Light was their last good album.

This. Wasting Light is actually one of my favorite albums of theirs, but nothing since has been memorable.

It always feels like their next album is supposed to be their masterpiece and it always ends up being the same ass sound over and over. The talent is there in the band members, they just dont use it.

Theyre like Smashmouth or ELO. Catchy, repetitive, some hooks are legendarymostly fluff. Though, Ive never owned an album, so Im going off their radio hits.

Dave always overhypes up the next album as the best they've done. From what I've heard, the other band members no longer contribute to the songs. It's all Dave and they seem completely fine with it. Learned it from some interview the drummer did.

Yeah, Foo Fighters are a bit of a singles band. They're a better singles band than Coldplay at least, I'm sure Dave would take some solace in that.

That band was built on the back of a tragedy. David G. is a profiteer. Literally would not have been shit if not for Kurt C.

No, I understand that he has a right to make a living in music, but still, I resent him. I was around when it happened. I heard it on the radio. It...ummm...it bothers me personally.

The first 2 albums are legendary, but something really bad happened afterwards they come up with a decent song here or there but its mostly all generic fluff now

I don't think Dave Grohl was taking advantage of a tragedy. Dude is incredibly talented and has a lot of drive, and I think he would have done his own thing either way. It could have ended up like the Queen solo albums, or maybe Foo Fighters could have been a side thing. Maybe Dave could have left Nirvana and done his own thing.

Maybe Foo Fighters would have collapsed as a short-lived side project if Nirvana still existed.

I still think that the group did some amazing shit, and Nirvana or no Nirvana, the music scene is better off with Dave Grohl as a bigger dude and Foo Fighters having made the impact they have.

I think it takes some seriously bad faith mental gymnastics to act like the formation of the foo fighters was taking advantage of a tragedy

The line "The pain you feel it's real" line from Best of You is catchy but otherwise I can't remember any of their songs?

I think it depends on what you value, because the first album has a lot more in line with the underground rock scene at the time, and elements of that still exist in their second one, even if its made for like bigger anthems.

i dont completely dislike those two albums, the lead singles off of both are pretty good but I definitely feel a change in approach that kinda followed the rest of their career. Its funny you mention Wasting Light because thats probably the next one Id put on after their first 2, I like about half of that album pretty consistently

They were good, never great. I feel like their entire career, they were above average. Always better than most of the stuff getting put out at the time, but never the best.
