Foo Fightin'

Of current bands, the Foo Fighters rank as one of my favorites because of a straight ahead approach to rock. Although there are punk and alternative influences in Dave Grohl's music, there is also a love of hammering riffs, catchy pop choruses and a sly sense of humor. After scoring a big hit this year with "The Pretender", the band's second single is the excellent "Long Road To Ruin" accompanied by one of their trademark goofy videos. They may never put an album out that's equal to Nirvana artistically, but that actually makes me like them more than the legendary grunge band. That's why ex Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl and company are the song of the moment!
