Foo Fighters

You will have to forgive us, as had you told us that Dave Grohl was going to emerge as an even bigger star following the death of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain, we would have taken that bet.  It was Cobain, who garnered the lion’s share of attention with Nirvana, and Grohl was the quiet drummer with the big smile.  Now it looks like Grohl will be a two-time Hall of Fame inductee.

Grohl formed his band Foo Fighters, with Pat Smear (Germs), Nate Mendel & Jeremy Enigk (Sunny Day Real Estate), and the quartet became the most influential Post-Grunge Rock band.  Comprising elements of Pop, Metal and Punk, Foo Fighters were not just radio accessible, but still were appealing to the alternative set.  That rare accomplishment, combined with chart success  and critical respect makes the Foos a Hall of Fame lock.

The Bullet Points

  • Eligible Since: Wednesday, 01 January 2020
  • Country of Origin: U.S.A. (Seattle, Washington)
  • Why they will get in: They have been huge for a long time, and the respect value is through the roof.
  • Why they won't get in: There is not one.  It is just a matter of how soon.
  • Essential Albums:

    Foo Fighters (1995)

    The Colour and the Shape (1997)

    One by One (2002)

    Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (2007)
  • Our Five Favorite Songs as Chosen by Each Member of the NIHOF Committee:

    I’ll Stick Around (From Foo Fighters, 1995)

    Big Me (From Foo Fighters, 1995)

    Everlong (From The Colour and the Shape, 1997)

    Learn to Fly (From There Is Nothing Left to Lose, 2000

    Best of You (From In Your Honor, 2005)
