Dave Grohl and The Foo Fighters (Every Album, Every Song)

Dave Grohl is one of the most respected musicians of the 21st Century. From his early days in the 1980s punk scene, he initially established himself as one of the greatest rock drummers of his generation. He then survived the chaos of Nirvana to establish his own songwriting voice as singer and guitarist for Foo Fighters. With hits such as ‘Everlong’, ‘Learn to Fly’, ‘Times Like These’ and ‘Best of You’, Foo Fighters have dominated modern rock for the past three decades. Outside of his band, Grohl is the ultimate rock & roll hype man, playing in side-projects with famous friends, and boosting the profiles of undervalued underground acts and up-and-coming artists alike. And yet, Grohl’s music is strangely underappreciated. Gatekeeping alt-rock fans dismiss it, while critics are often more interested in his tragic backstory than his songs. This book is the first to cover the entirety of Foo Fighters’ discography, as well as Grohl’s various experimental side projects. By reviewing every song in depth, it reveals that Foo Fighters have more impressive and more varied music than what you hear on the radio, and there is far more to Grohl than his reputation as ‘The Nicest Man In Rock’.
