Foo Fighters » Best Rock Album

Foo Fighters Grammy

I’m definitely a Foo Fighters fan. Like I said in a previous post, I don’t generally watch the Grammy’s, but I was really psyched to see that the Foo Fighters won for Best Rock Album. It doesn’t seem like every year a true, great, rock band gets to win Best Rock Album (ahem, 1989 Metallica loses to who? Jethro Tull?). So, when one does, its refreshing to see. Foo Fighters are definitely a huge band, with what I would consider one of the greatest rock musicians of this generation, Dave Grohl. Lets see, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, sits in with Queens of the Stone Age…you get the picture. I’ll even make the argument that Foo Fighters is bigger than Nirvana. While Nirvana’s music was good for its time and started a new trend in rock, I’m not sure it would have been long lasting. But we’ll never know.

Anyway, congrats to Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters on their big win! By the way Dave, what exactly is a Foo Fighter?
