Foo Fighters - Greatest Hits Review [2]
I am a dyed-in-the-wool Fooies fan. I saw them live here in Australia before their first album was released and instantly feel in love with Dave Grohl’s easy melodies, catchy hooks and nerdy charm. It’s no surprise that my country feel in love with this band and still remains, per capita, their biggest market simply by virtue of the fact that this delivers time and again live and on record. To say these guys are FM radio staples would be an understatement and is the one country Grohl states he.

47 Miles of Barbed Wire: Greatest American Rock Band…REVEALED!
A couple of weeks ago, I asked you guys who you thought the Greatest American Rock Band of All Time was. I got some interesting responses (Guns N Roses, Melvins, Van Halen) and some completely off-base ones (no offense, people, but FOO FIGHTERS ARE NOT THE GREATEST AMERICAN ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME and are actually getting worse over time because Dave Grohl has a creeping case of the taking-himself-seriously). But I must respectfully disagree with everyone who sent in comments, because the real...
