I used to love them, and I have all of their albums. Simple, hard-hitting, good-time rock and roll.
I saw them live at the Kristiansand Quart festival this summer, and had the time of my life. Dave Grohl is a true entertainer.
Though, over the past couple of years I have turned soft. I prefer the bitter-sweet pop of Belle & Sebastian, Teenage Fanclub, Wilco and REM. I haven't really listened to Foo for months.
It's a shame, because they deserve attention. Even my attention
(edit again: didn't notice the "my" in "escaped....attention")
