    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!


    :lol::lol:

    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 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.

    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. :D (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)
