#99: Foo Fighters

The #99 Greatest Rock Artist ever...
The Foo Fighters: Dave Grohl formed the Foo Fighters after the death of Kurt Cobain and played its first gig at a kegger. Dave Grohl proved to be just as talented, albeit more commercial, as Cobain. Grohl began as Nirvana’s drummer, but is now considered one of rock’s best guitarists and writers. The Foo Fighters are grounded in classic and punk rock and are also the world’s greatest cover band (listen to Baker Street, Band on the Run, Have a Cigar). The term “Foo Fighter” is WWII lingo for a UFO.

Rock Star Moment: Their debut took place at a Keg Party in 1995.

Foo Fighter Essential Albums: The Colour and the Shape (1997)
