I never really listened to the Foo Fighters until they released their sophomore album The Colour and the Shape back in 1997. When Dave Grohl first sowed the seeds of what is to become The Foo Fighters’ first album, I and most people I know were either still too downcast with how Nirvana ended to pay them any serious attention or hastily regarded them as spinoffs.
At first, I was iffy with the idea of getting their newest release In Your Honor because although I have a lot of respect for the Foo Fighters, I saw them as a band only capable of releasing four good songs, tops, in a single album. But when I finally did get the two-disc album and popped the second disc (The acoustic one) in the CD player, I fell in love within 20 minutes of listening to it.
