Making my dad a FF CD. He likes some of their stuff and I told him I'd make him a CD. I included both the big singles, lesser-known singles, and some deep album cuts that are terrific. Here's what I have that fits 80 minutes:

This Is a Call
Big Me
Monkey Wrench
My Hero
Everlong
Breakout
Learn to Fly
Aurora
Next Year
All My Life
Times Like These
Best of You
DOA
The Pretender
Long Road to Ruin
Bridge Burning
Rope
Dear Rosemary
Walk

Thoughts?

Had to take these out because it went over time:

February Stars
Stacked Actors
Resolve (sorry Rico)
These Days

That looks pretty solid. But you need to include some Generator and Hey, Johnny Park! on there...I think those would fit well and are good songs that sum up the Foos!

Scanned thru the set once and said, "no way they missed Hey, Johnny Park." I scanned again, then again "wow, they left off Hey, Johnny Park".


Very nice set of songs though 8-)

Thanks to both of you! I would include "Generator" and "Hey, Johnny Park" but they won't fit. My dad is a "hits" guy. He only likes the hits by mostly everyone, except The Beatles (loves every song besides "Revolution 9"). I think he'll enjoy this.

I would throw in the Baker Street cover.

I played that for him before and he didn't care for it. He's picky.

Listening to the playlist right now and it's flowing beautifully so far. On "Learn to Fly" right now.

They promised when they were in philly the next time they would play the Electric Factory. I think he said the same thing in DC to play the 9:30 Club (as i'm sure they did at the other shows) So this better be a short break!

Never have I wanted the 9:30 show Dave promised more than this semester...but yep, doesn't look like it now

Yeah, I was at the DC show and he said they were going to do a small venue tour at places like 9:30 Club, and Electric Factory. If they were to ever do that, I would fly back to DC for the 9:30 Club show since it's my favorite venue by far.

Maybe their next album tour. I hope they make a stop to Toad's Place in New Haven.

Dave always says that small club tour thing...I wouldn't really count on it to happen though, except probably in the LA area, like they did with the secret gigs before WL came out.

anyway, if your dad's a "hit guy" I'd leave the playlist it as it is...but generally, I'd kick best of you (the only foo song I actually dislike...well, that one and statues) and learn to fly off the list and go with stacked actors and hey johnny park instead.

I really hope they'll do a new TCV record during the FF break.

Get rid of Big Me, My Hero, Learning to Fly, and Long Road to Ruin (overrated radio songs)

Add in Alone & Easy Target, Hey Johnny Park/My Poor Brain, Low

That's what I'm thinking. JPJ is itching for more studio work & touring, if I understand correctly.

Or even better, play drums on a new QOTSA album. (I guess the other guys got pissed off about that - whatever, Songs for the Deaf was better than any Foos album, and I love the Foos)

Already made it. He's a big hits guy.

Dave could also pull off being an actor.

Pretty close...

Dave playing drums for QOTSA new album!!!

http://articles.latimes.com/2012/nov/08/entertainment/la-et-quick-20121108

Maybe this will be the best album of this decade...

(yes I vote Songs for the Deaf as the greatest album of the 00s)

I think directing is Dave Grohl's new hobby.
