Based on their performance on TDS I wouldn't search out their back catalog. - TWuG Apr 11, 20:36 35
- Based on this comment, I won't search for TWuG's earlier posts -- nm - Roger More Apr 11, 20:46 1
  - Wisest decision you've ever made. Bar none. -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 21:05
- no one ever really sounds good on late night shows -- nm - Gwaahjo Apr 11, 20:44 2
  - except The Heavy. -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 20:59
  - For real -- nm - Epiphany Apr 11, 20:45
- You just can't judge such a versatile band on one song. nm - Dignan Apr 11, 20:40 29
  - Two. Both were from their new album, I think. - TWuG Apr 11, 20:45 28
    - I love the foo fighters in this very quiet way. I have all of their stuff, but never really listen to it, but when I hear a song on the radio, I am - amanda jones Apr 11, 21:00 1
      - I find when you think about them offhand you really just think of that first disc, but if you really think about it every disc of theirs has at least 2 songs you absolutely know by heart. -- nm - Ender Apr 11, 21:13
    - I can't imagine having never heard one of their songs. - Dignan Apr 11, 20:53 24
      - Yeah, jsut so I'm clear, TWuG, you've never heard this song? -- (link) - Reagen Apr 11, 20:56 [youtube] 21
        
        Nope. -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 21:06
        
        Didn't TWuG watch The West Wing? -- nm - nubby Apr 11, 20:57
        
        or this one? -- (link) - Reagen Apr 11, 20:56 [youtube] 18
        
        Nope. But that is strikingly different in tone from what was played on TDS - TWuG Apr 11, 21:07 1
        
        This is their least typical song in their catalog, but was a gigantic hit. -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 21:08
        
        or this one? -- (link) - Reagen Apr 11, 20:56 [youtube] 15
        
        Not that one either. -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 21:08
        
        or this -- (link) - Reagen Apr 11, 20:57 [youtube] 13
        
        Nor this one. -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 21:09
        
        or this? -- (link) - Reagen Apr 11, 20:57 [youtube] 11
        
        Not that one, either -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 21:10
        
        Oh yeah. This probably got more airplay than any of them. nm - Dignan Apr 11, 21:01 1
        
        Oh man, why did I click on it! WHYYYYY???? -- nm - Qale Apr 11, 21:30
        
        or (last one) this? -- (link) - Reagen Apr 11, 20:58 [youtube] 7
        
        I had also forgotten Tenacious D was in the video. -- nm - Tim Apr 11, 21:12 2
        
        what's the timeline, was this before or after Tribute? -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 21:13 1
        
        Learn to Fly is 1999, Tenacious D's album was 2001. -- nm - Tim Apr 11, 21:17
        
        Hey! I know that one! It doesn't suck, but I don't really like it either. -- nm - TWuG Apr 11, 21:11 2
        
        You will have to take my word for this, but all these songs were massive, massive hits. -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 21:12 1
        
        Word taken. - TWuG Apr 11, 21:17
        
        Or did he ever watch Ed? -- nm - Tim Apr 11, 20:59
      - (and Big Me was played *everywhere* when it came out.) nm - Dignan Apr 11, 20:54 1
        
        Footos! -- nm - Tim Apr 11, 20:54
    - I'm just trying to figure out what cave you live in that you've never heard the Foos. - Reagen Apr 11, 20:49
I didn't know it was possible to not like Everlong. -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 20:33 4
- I love the song and the part in the video where the bed collapses into the drum set is one of my favorite things ever. -- nm - Tim Apr 11, 20:52
- Eh. I don't know if it was slicker production or whatever, but they (he) seemed to lose bite after the first album. nm - Dignan Apr 11, 20:38 1
  - By my estimation, he and Jack White account for 87% of current popular music. -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 20:42
