Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters

Pros: Lots of memorable hard rock
Cons: Some of the loud, sloppy tracks are not for everyone

Though the death of Kurt Cobain was a terrible thing, Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl managed to deliver some positivity from this tragedy when, a year later, he introduced the world to the Foo Fighters. While it seemed like it would be a mere side project, ...

Pros: The CD rocks and actually retains a juicy melodic flavor at the same time.
Cons: Some songs sound the same, some songs sound somewhat similar to slicing silicone.

Kurt Cobain kicked the bucket. The rest of Nirvana kept playing as The Foo Fighters. No sense in writing the book on it, because I'm sure it's been done a million times. So do you think Kurt would be proud of where the guys have gone and ...

Pros: Gritty yet entertaining; Vintage Foo
Cons: A few lackluster spots

Today, everyone knows the Foo Fighters, one of the smash rock acts of the last decade. But in 1995, people knew only of the recently-demised Nirvana and its drummer, Dave Grohl. Grohl cut every instrumental and vocal track for a batch of songs that he ...

Pros: A strong debut from the Foo Fighters.
Cons: A couple songs miss the mark, the lyrics are rather cryptic.

When the Foo Fighters first arrived on the music scene in 1995, they were one of the most anticipated bands on the scene. The reason being that they were the first band to emerge out of the ashes of Nirvana and many people wondered what they would sound...

Pros: Sometimes stellar songs, great rock riffs on occasion
Cons: Some really rotten tracks

Rising from the exhaulted ashes of Nirvana, Dave Grohl had an idea. He wanted to continue making music on his own terms. So, he recorded Foo Fighters' debut album essentially on his own. It was only when the band had to make appearances and tour that...

Pros: Some good songs.
Cons: An album for the fans... and it still may not be wonderful.

While basically having a band consisting of Nirvana members after Kurt woeful passing, ...

Pros: Modest etiquette
Cons: Rough proceedings

Isn't it Punk to call it quits after everything is over before it starts?No.Of course FOO FIGHTERS and NIRVANA didn't compete in the Olympian Rock contest.If only because there would probably be no FOOs in horizon before the ...

Pros: The arrival of the Foo Fighters
Cons: The odd weak track here and there...

It may be ten years since Dave Grohl brought out an album under the name 'Foo Fighters' - a self written album to showcase the former Nirvana drummer's talent. What he deliver was exactly that - an album of raw, exciting rock music that would lay the ...

Pros: Nice, smooth flowing album filled with hits.
Cons: A heavy reliance on distortion for such a soft rock album.

As I’m sure all my repeat readers should know by now, I’m what some people would refer to as a zealot when it comes to Nirvana. I’d like to blame my brother Randy for that, since he’s the one who introduced me to Nirvana.

With...

Pros: some solid songs, Dave Grohl
Cons: A lot

First and foremost before we begin, I would like to say that if you love the band Foo Fighters as you know them now, you will shudder when you hear this album for the first time…that’s what happened to me. You see, I got into them in “The...

Pros: “OH CRAP!!!” (happy, with enthusiasm)
Cons: “oh, crap.” (sad, with constipation)

In 1995, while I was 8 years old laying on the floor in front a television set, Dave Grohl was somewhere else, recording his first solo record. Dubbed “Foo Fighters”, this fairly sweet album was recorded in only about one week, with Grohl ...

Pros: an amazing piece of work from just one man
Cons: not as strong overall as There Is Nothing Left to Lose

Back in 1994, after Kurt Cobain’s death, and the two remaining members of the band he fronted, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic announced the obvious that the band was over, Grohl entered a recording studio. At first, he was unsure. After all, Cobain and...

Pros: Impressive collection of post-grunge alternative rock tunes.
Cons: Poor production mars most of it.

Carrying the torch of his former band, the group that defined the sound of mainstream music in the 90s, Dave Grohl formed Foo Fighters in 1995. And while he remained true to the same soft-to-loud dynamics that Nirvana was famous for, he brought a...

Pros: Every track is good
Cons: Not much variety

When Nirvana's lead singer Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994, the band made of drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novelesic were forced to split up. They both started successful bands. Dave started the Foo Fighters. In this album, the self titled...

Pros: Energising powerful unique sound and feel
Cons: The most punk songs are mistakes, since the power pop is where this cd excels

The Foo Fighters have been a revelation to me, a band with music so unique, powerful, energetic and uplifting that I can't help but love it. "Nothing left to lose" is the masterpiece (and they've only done three cd's), but the first two have a...
