American rock band formed by Dave Grohl in 1994 after his time in Nirvana; known for blending alternative rock and post-grunge and for large-scale live shows.

Founded by Dave Grohl. Grohl was Nirvana's drummer before creating Foo Fighters as a recording project that became a full band. Longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins was a prominent member (Taylor Hawkins died in 2022). The band is a multi-Grammy-winning rock act.

DeBaser's reviews trace Foo Fighters from Dave Grohl's solo debut to stadium rock milestones. Critics praise songwriting and live power while noting uneven albums and occasional missteps. Key albums repeatedly highlighted include the debut, The Colour and The Shape and Wasting Light.

For:Rock listeners, Foo Fighters fans, readers of album reviews

 This could well be the best chapter in the Foo Fighters’ discography; the following album, The Colour and The Shape, is already more stadium-rock oriented and perhaps has more memorable songs, like the immortal Everlong, but also suffers from bigger lows.

 With Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (a shorter title no, eh?) the Foo take a step too far, inserting songs that on a first listen seem challenging, but after three, four listens are already memorized and feel familiar.

 Impossible not to have this album, the best in F.F. discography.
