>85,000 different reasons

I count 2

>1. they have shit taste in music
>2. they know people who have shit taste in music but didn't want to spend the night alone

Great band scapegoated by Le Rite Generationors who are insecure about they way their favorite artists make music.
>>
>>63837488
slightly underrated by music fans
VERY overrated by the general listener

Even though I hate hearing him talk, I like the foo fighters. Just straight forward radio friendly alt rock that pretty much everyone likes, even if they admit it or not.. I'm listening to "times like these" right now actually.
>>
some catchy tunes but mostly overrated by rockists and normies

forreal tho i agree with the general consensus that they got progressively worse from their debut, except wasting light which was pretty good

the first 2 albums are legit and even many of the deep cuts are worth hearing. 3rd album is alright but a step down, less worthwhile deep cuts. then it's just a haze of meh and singles until WL which is pretty good, probs their 3rd best

I never heard their most recent, don't care enough

I think for a board that idolizes Weezer after everything they've done and still gets excited about their albums in fucking 2016, it's pretty disingenuous to hate on FFs just because their demo is a little more normie

Which kanye west album is this?
>>
The most inoffensive rock band ever. Some of the stuff from their first two albums are good, but overall pretty underwhelming.

Dave Grohl is alright in my book mainly because he rustles autists who unironically like Young Thug.

i didnt say that and i still dont know what it means.
normie and rockist doesnt really cut it as far as a defininition
>>
Rock-and-roll is about rebellion so by definition Foo Fighters do not "rock". They're the most absolutely bland, radio-friendly, completely generic music made by an absolutely bland, generic middle-aged minivan dad and listened to by yuppies as they're working out on a treadmill.

I don't like him when he tries to be le srs rockin voice of a generation man, but this is pretty cute:

Great debut, good second album. From that point on is hit or miss.
Grohl's a great drummer too.

>>
>>63838408
this is why rock is dead. where's the lifestyle and the cool personalities? where's the rule breaking?

these guys idolized these old rock musicians so much that they became purists, which is the opposite of what those original musicians wanted. they turned a genre of rebellion and rule breaking into the opposite of what it's supposed to be.

now its samey and boring ad uncool. its associated with parents and boring people now.
>>
>>63837488
he should play drums and find a new singer for the band
>>
>>63840355
That would actually be really cool.
>>
>>63840512
Dave growls a shit
>>
>>63837488
Wow... So deep
>>
They play it too safe. If they took chances to do more daring things, they might do something exciting. I still like their stuff, but unless they do something different, they'll probably be seen as dad-rock in the future.
>>
First album was good, the rest are eh at best. Grohl should just stick to being a drummer.
>>
Y'know what's funny? During the Nirvana era if I was judging them by looks alone Dave looked like he was the hippest of the bunch.
>>

Never trust the opinions of a board that likes Weezer and American Football this much

"Rock music is dead. Rappers are the new rock stars. They're edgy, they have attitude, they flash around stacks of money, they ride around in a limo with girls hanging off their arms. I mean, we all love that, right? They make you want to be them. The point is that rock stars aren't supposed to be 'ordinary' people. And then at some point along the way, they became ordinary people. And the music got bland, it got boring, it sucked, and people stopped listening to it."
>>
FF is not in the least unique, different, or better than any early 2000s buttrock band, but Dave's having been part of Nirvana lends him a faux credibility that Chad Kroeger and Rob Thomas don't have.
>>
>>63837488
dave grohl is a good dude, their s/t is their only good album though. even then, it's like a 6. Grohl is much better when he's not a frontman.

How ironic that Kurt's words, "I wish I was like you, easily amused" come to mind. Can you explain that?
>>
>>63837488
A few good songs but a lot of mediocre and bad ones.
My Dad loves them so I got to see them live. It was alright. I found a new hatred to stoners though.
>>
>>63844459
you were in KISS i don't trus a word you say

foo fighters are pretty inoffensive (learn to fly is p. good honestly) but dave grohl is such a cornball

They're THE BEST.

He's a lot richer and has had a lot more sex than you.

They're ok at best, and their singles are such garbage that it tarnishes any shred of integrity they might have otherwise.
>>
>>63838053
This is pretty much correct. There are some pretty good deeper cuts on One By One though (Low, Disenchanted Lullaby, Halo, Come Back), the best FF songs until the good songs on Wasting Light (Bridge Burning, Rope, White Limo, Arlandria & Walk) even though it's often maligned as their worst album. The third album is really chill which is nice, it's pretty solid overall. Their last album sucked ass.

They're really not bad. Just a straight forward rock team.

Nothing mindblowing, but I have no major complaints.

Lately their material has been pretty stale though.
