re: Is there a more sterile, generic, non-threatening band than Foo Fighters?

I sort of agree with the OP in a way but I can't help but acknowledge that the foo fighters have written some solid and impressively catchy songs.

How many really good bands out there claim to be heavily influenced by Foo Fighters? Just curious.
Ok, let's play the game where I name a few and you respond with "those aren't good bands."
Scratch that. Why don't you just name your favorite bands. And then you can look up their influences yourself and say "See! Foo Fighters haven't influenced any good bands!"

If Foo Fighters are playing in a bar/tailgate/party etc. and half the crowd is having a great time and the other half is not, I'm going to get along better with the people that are enjoying it.
Pretty much. I'm not a huge fan of them, but have seen them twice in concert and had a good time both times. Saw them open for the RHCP in 2000, and they blew them off the stage.
And you're right about Mumford. I'd rather go to another Foo Fighters concert than go see Mumford, Avetts, or any band from that boring arse genre, bro-folk or whatever it is.

I agree. Theyre kind of like hard rock's Monkees

I agree with alot of what you said.
The Foo fighters have no soul. There's just something missing from that band.
Stupid generic massive pandering bullshite.
I equate them to Nickleback quite often.

Love the first album but could not name one since then.
And would it fricking kill them to take a year off? There is new FF music every 90 days.

Yea- they got put on a pedastal they don't currently have the ability to earn a spot on. It creates this weird empty feeling because they aren't truly filling the role.
If they were simply looked at as commercial rock instead of the soul and savior of rock n roll I think they'd annoy me less.

I absolutely love the Foo Fighters, and I could care less what anybody else thinks about that.
And as I consider myself a pretty good judge of character, I've never seen or heard the first thing that would make me think of Dave Grohl as an egomaniac.

Foo Fighters, and Dave Grohl specifically, doesn't own the pedestal of "Best Rock Band Still Making Music" because they're so great. They do so because everyone else is so bad. They have more hits and have been around longer than everyone else. Let's just be honest, it's pretty much just them and Pearl Jam at this point.
Who else making music right now could even hold the mantle? Myles Kennedy? Jack White? All Them Witches? The Sword? Rise Against? The Black Keys?

There should be a Radiohead thread every week.
That would be awesome. Radiohead actually possess creativity and imagination and have been/are willing to experiment with different sounds/genres.

Exactly... It just speaks to the state of music and the shift it has made. These are 50 year old men we are talking about. Their best days are behind them. And Grohl spent many of his best with Nirvana. Who takes the throne from them? I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan. They are still a valid touring band. They are no longer radio relevant. This is the same as the Foo Fighters, but for whatever reason radio keeps trying to throw the Foo Fighters out there like they are still 30.
I don't know who you want to anoint?
People mention Radiohead? Fine. But they are in the same boat. They are well into their 40's. Just because you are strange doesn't make you great.
Does the OP not like any other Seattle era band? No Pearl Jam love? Soundgarden? If you do not like or can even appreciate Chris Cornell and his solo stuff we can stop the discussion because I can not wrap my head around that. Unless you are just a fan of one of the bands that heroin killed? If so just admit it. I get it. If I were a huge AIC fan I'd be pissed that my favorite singer was a junkie and died. Depriving me of watching him into his 40's and 50's like Vedder.

Why the hell does age mean anything? Jesus! Bowie just put out an amazing album in his late 60's, so leave an artists age out of this debate.

Are you meaning from a musicianship standpoint or from catchiness?
Hating Pearl Jam is like hating Led Zepplin to ME.
I just can't discuss music with you.
The Cult? The Smiths? The Cure? Let's bounce around a bit. Soundgarden? Chris Cornell now?
