is a surprisingly good song. I can't believe it, and neither can you. Back me up, Sketch.

I LOVE this song.... It's been an (un)guilty pleasure of mine for some time now...
Foo Fighters albums are always very uneven. However, those 2-3 good songs always make that "first-week-at-Best-Buy" purchase worth it...

Agreed.

i've always claimed some foo fighters songs as guilty pleasures. my hero and everlong are my two favorites.

when did it become uncool to like the Foo Fighters?

i used to be big into the 1st album, luke warm on the 2nd. stopped after that. And now it seems that just about every song he does he has to scream the chorus at the end, to bring it on home

Sometime between the death of Kurt Cobain and the release of "This Is A Call" to radio.

I loved me some Foo until that most recent piece of crap they released. I'd like to see them return to their original sound, but I'm afraid they will continue in the same vein as that last album.

Only during the same time when Eyes Adrift was cool.

I was really into this album back in the day (1997??). I haven't listened to it since then, however, and have no idea what their stuff since then is like. But I gather I haven't missed much...

Eyes Adrift was never cool.

Color and the Shape's always been cool in my book.

KPH

Dig the hell out of the Foo Fighters, this song especially. I'll gladly entertain a discussion with anyone who wishes to deride Dave Grohl's songwriting and overall "I'm just an awesome motherfucker"-ness.

Phil, that was my whole point.

all right, as long we're on the same page.

I think "The colour and the shape" is probably their best album, though still extremely spotty...
And "All My Life" and "Times Like These" are highly enjoyable songs off of their last one - at least to me...

Alledgedly Dave wants the next album to be a double CD - 1 disc of soft, pretty stuff & 1 disc of heavy shit.


I think they're really underrated, myself.

i've always said that i'll be first in line when they have a greatest hits comp. they have some solid songs but lots of filler, too.

I've always liked this song. I have no qualms about it. Moderate rock brilliance.

i think this was the first album i ever bought so is partially responsible for me being on this board today

man. now i feel really fucking old.

im only 18 though so dont feel too old

Their best album was the one with that song from Ed, the TV show. I think it was the opening theme song.

i've always thought the foo fighters' songs were just there so they could make great videos. then again, i haven't heard a full album since the debut.

the debut was 5 stars, 10 out of 10, whatever other perfect designation. just fucking brilliant.

colour and shape was pretty durn good as well, not quite as strong as the debut, but it has several great songs including "My Hero."

really didnt keep up with them after that.
