I don't think I've found one person that didn't like them.

Have you met anyone that didn't like Foo Fighters? Why didn't they like them? What other music did they like? Or are you that person?

I first got into them when Learn to Fly/There Is Nothing Left To Lose was released and plenty of others didn't like them/classed it as 'greebo music' etc. Nowadays though, no, including the same people that dismissed them back then. I'm sure the current 'rock/alt revival' that's been going on for a few years now will end at some point.

Fuck me, I've not heard the word Greebo in ages :'(

Nope. Not one of my top ten bands, but always solid. Also, I think Dave Grohl is one of the last few "rock stars." Dude is just insanely talented.

They are just ok "standard" rock music which is nowhere near my favorite style of music these days.

They are alright. Never been a big fan, but I don't dislike them, and they have a few really good songs. Dave Grohl on the other hand, is a beast and is incredible. Can't wait for another Them Crooked Vultures CD.

It's a very late 90s, early 00s word. Been a long time for me too.

They were one of the first rock bands I got into properly and I still love them to this day. Not managed to see them live yet though. :(

Dave Grohl has just yelled for the last ten years

I hate rock music but I really like the Foo Fighters. Love their music.

I don't like them not necessarily because I don't like their music, but rather I just don't like anyone who can do something that I can't.

Don't think I could name or recognize a single Foo Fighters song. For some reason I feel like I hate them though, even though I have no basis for that at all.

I love them and am going to see them 4th July.

There's nothing special about them, really. They're ok. I could easily hate them if I wanted to. I like "Big Me" a lot though. Both the song and video.

I saw them back in 2002 and Cave In spoilt the night. But you already know that.

I like them; loved The Colour and the Shape and There is Nothing Left to Lose, but they have never been one of my favourite bands "of all time" kinda dealio.

I think the first 4 songs of "In Your Honor" is the best beginning to any album

I don't like them.

Don't "hate" them, though.

i just imagined mugek as an 80 year old telling his great grandkids to "stop listening to that noise" and listen to proper songs by motley crue.

old people are going to be surreal by the time we're old. like the current generation of old people all wear smart clothes and reminisce about the war and shit. i am probably going to be there in old shitty ripped jeans and t-shirt talking about when i first discovered the internet.

Used to not like them. The song Prentender turned me though. Whole album did really.

New album is pretty good too.

Like a bunch of their songs, but I wouldn't call myself a fan.

I'm indifferent to them, got nothing against them, but I adore this song.....

My fav songs by them are likely

"There goes My Hero"
"Wheels"
"Everlong"

Really like their new single "Rope"

Also, anyone here think their drummer looks a bit like Kurt Cobain?

One of my favorite bands. "All My Life" and "Windup" are amongst my all time favorite songs.

I'm a relatively big fan. Hey, Johnny Park! is probably my favourite song of theirs.

I like them overall, but I find a lot of their stuff to be hit and miss with me. I like their heavier faster rock songs overall, the new one rope is pretty good though.
