    1) Greatest Hits

    Don't get me wrong, I like the Foo Fighters and think they have some killer songs (love what they did with Baker Street).. I just can't really say I like every album, just certain songs off each one. IMO they are a band to see live...

    This...They have a great collection of singles, but I can't think of many album tracks that are very good. Looks like they're great live, but a great studio band they are not.

    Foo Fighters aren't that great, no. They're great for easy listening, driving music.

    Boooo. The request was to rank the albums, not state what you think of them. :mrgreen:

    Yea, I'm not going to bother with the Rank 'Em for bands I don't like or haven't gotten into. No need to rain on others' parades.

    Really? I'd put it in their Top 5 songs. The big radio song that does nothing for me is The Pretender.

    Yeah, I don't know why. I know a lot of people love it. When he goes, "The best, the best, the best of youuuu" I cringe. I love The Pretender, haha.

    In Your Honor could've been a spectacular single album. Both discs have a little bit of filler, but take the 14 or so best songs and you'd have a great collection. I still think Disc 2 is really underrated - showed a different side of the band. Over & Out is amazing.

    Actually no, I don't understand your disgust for the band, and I really don't need to. I'm not asking anyone else including you to love them either. Just wanted to share my thoughts with others who are into the Foos when I saw this thread.

    good lord finally someone who hates best of you as well. :lol: I also love the pretender.

    european crowds have started to sing the oooohhsss from best of you even AFTER the song is over, or when they want the band to come back from the encore. so wrong. they already play that crap at each show, don't encourage them!

    anyway, as for the original topic:
