FabSwingers.com forum: One for the Foo Fighter fans!

As fans we all know the Foo’s have produced some absolute bangers like Pretender, Best Of You, Everlong, Run, My Hero, Learn To Fly, Sky Is A Neighbourhood.......the list could go on!

Which is one of your obscure favourites though, one that isn’t played as much but you could come back to whenever and it stands up as good as the rest?

Mickeys would be February Stars or DOA, Minnie loves Stacked Actors

Not their biggest fan but ‘best of you’ helped me deal with a breakup with a previous partner. Can’t give you an obscure album track, sorry but I absolutely love that song and how it helped me

Definitely one of their most memorable songs, the video is good as well

Now that we’d love to hear! Have you heard their cover of the Bee Gees You Should Be Dancing? Absolutely superb version

There isn’t a song I don’t like

my absolute favourite band. I particularly love the in your honour album where they did the beautiful quiet cd though. Total other side that’s very underrated.

Same for me (Mickey), nothing they do is bad! What are your thoughts on the new album?

White limo off the wasting light album is phenomenal too. I've yet to hear their newest album but some of the tunes I have heard on it have grown on me

Some great shouts here, so many of their tracks sound different from each other so it’s no surprise really!

Stacked Actors live is phenomenal, especially the one from their Live At Walker Air Force Base EP

Walking After You. The single version, rather than the album one.

Not particularly obscure, but one of my favourites and the video was the first time I really saw Dave Grohl and thought "ooh, ok then!". It's just so sweetly melancholic and yearning, I've come back to it over the last few months.

My hero, when my dad passed both me and my brother suggested this to be played at his funeral. Beautiful song and was the perfect sentiment. Still brings a tear to my eye.

Despite loving rock music and thinking Dave Grohl is a cool guy, I've never been able to get into Foo Fighters. I like one or two tracks but most of it is just radio friendly commercial rock by numbers to me.
