Reed Rothchild 6,374 Editorials Team · Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Master thread with standings Ratings key: 10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time.9 - Killer fucking band. Or artist.8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.7 - Very good, but not quite great.6 - Pretty good. More than a few songs you like. You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area. Or still alive.5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.4 - Meh. There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.3 - Not very good. You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.2 - Not your cup of tea at all. Some people like this, but you are not one of them.1 - Horrible in every way.0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time. You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s 2,572 Member · Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Easy 10 here. There are only a few artists that I can count on to amp me up and Foo Fighters will always be one. Not to mention that Dave Grohl is probably one of the coolest dudes of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themisfit138 520 Member · Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 A solid 5. I only like the first album and a few other songs. They were pretty average when I saw them live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRobot 4,402 Member · Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 7. Saw them on their first tour but I haven't really followed later stuff. Stacked Actors is some of my favorites. Heres a great performance on Letterman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor 532 Member · Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Foo Fighters is a weird one for me. I can listen to their music, and it's great. but i just don't feel much of a connection to it. None of my friends hardcore listened to them in high school/college, so i was never really exposed to them all that much. But i know that if i had been around it more at the time, they would easily be one of my favorite bands. So i went with 7 because i've been going back and listening and it's all so damn good.

RH 3,561 Member · Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Related to these discussions--I know this "Rate this Band" was started over on NA, but does anyone have a list of all of the bands that have been discussed so far? I gave them a 9 but could probably downgrade them to an 8. I like Dave, and I really enjoy their music. Wait, strike that 8, I'm going to lower them to 7... I always forget the reason why I hate SONY with a passion is because of a Foo Fighters album I bought the day it was released that bricked my work PC because it had a rootkit on it to prevent copying/ripping of the music (see "Release and promotion" section). Grrrr.... it still angers me to think about it. Edited December 26, 2019 by RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug 3,867 Member · Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Sorry, 5/10. They started out strong, but eventually everything started to sound the same, yet Dave Grohl wants to tweet about how awful Nickelback is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild 6,374 Editorials Team · Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 I think we need to do a metal band next week. The question is, do I do one that is too heavy for you pussies, too weird for you pussies, too Fred Durst for you pussies, or too awesome for you pussies? I promise to never call anyone a pussy anymore too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner 2,047 Member · Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I would say a 10 based on the fact that just the song Everlong is enough to make them a 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
