Not sure which albulm they all come off but I'd suggest in no particular order - Generator, Everlong, Learn To Fly, Monkey Wrench, Low(amusing more for the video really), Aurora and All My Life as being worthwhile to listen to although there are quite a few more if I actually had access to my music collection here.

 

Don't bother. Seriously.

Since the gent already has tickets do you not think it might improve the experience somewhat to actually know some of the music they will be playing?

I appreciate the Foo Fighters aren't your thing but just saying not to bother doesn't help overmuch that I can see. Do you have any reasons?

 

Get the first two albums, self-titled and The Colour and the Shape. IMO they're the only two worth listening to as they get a bit poppy and dull after this, but there are some songs from both they're bound to play so well worth checking out.

 

Basically early stuff > later stuff.

 

How come you're going to one of their gigs without hearing their stuff?

Or did you get the ticket for free or something.

 

That's pretty much the gospel truth when it comes to the Foos. Basically all you need to hear off the other albums would be 'Stacked Actors' and 'All My Life'.

 

Monkey Wrench
Learn to Fly
Times Like These
My Hero
Everlong
Hey, Johnny Park!
Low
Breakout
Aurora
Big Me


There's a nice selection for you

 

Hey, you could always buy their albums. Just a thought.

 

Well he is buying the songs...?

 

Hey, he said he was buying and downloading from Itunes. Just a thought.

 

Or could could download the songs suggested from itunes/napster or w/e as they will be the ones they are most likely to play.

 

I've tried so hard to listen this band and they do have some really good singles but they just fall short for me.

 

The Colour and The Shape is a fantastic album imo so definitely get that
And I'm very envious you'll be seeing them live

 

Totally agree. I have all their albums and can't listen to any of them in their entirety. There is a max a max of 5 great songs on each. The rest are pap to be honest.

I'd say the best album is Colour & The Shape.

Everlong is their best ever song and the video is hilarious.

 

Not all of their songs are that great but they are brilliant live i seen them when they played at Reading last year and they were amazing and im off to see them at Hyde Park in the summer so hopefully theyl be just as good this year

 

They used to be great live, now Dave can't sing any more and just screams "AWWWWWRRRRIIIIIGGGHHHTTT HEEEEEREEE WEEEE GOOOOOAAARRRRRGHHHH!!"

 

My bad. Sure there was a sneaky edit in there somewhere Apologies!
