FOO FIGHTERS FACE OFF: WASTING LIGHT ----- Round 1 Bridge Burning Vs. White Limo I Should Have Known Vs. Dear Rosemary Back & Forth Vs. Miss the Misery Walk Vs. A Matter of Time Round 1 starts now!
I think this is BY FAR my favorite Foo album. I would be fine with like, 4 or 5 different songs winning. Side note, remember they went on the Limo Tour to promote this album? They were driving all around the country stopping at random venues/bars to either perform or let people listen to the album in their limo? I was in Charlotte a few weeks before the album came out and the limo came to a local bar there. The Foo Fighters were not there, but several of their crew were there and they parked the limo outside the bar and blasted the album for like, 3 hours. They let people sit in the limo, take pictures, and talk to the crew. It was pretty wild. Bridge Rosemary (I LOVE I should have known, but Dear Rosemary is top tier Foo) Misery Walk
Bridge Rosemary (tough to vote against ISHK but Rosemary and Arlandria are my favorite songs here) Misery (this was a tough matchup too) Walk
Bridge Burning I Should Have Known Miss the Misery Walk I think this album is nearly perfect, so I’m happy with whatever wins.
Wow, tough match ups all around to start this album: Bridge Burning Dear Rosemary (Bob Mould kills it on the backing vocals) Back & Forth A Matter of Time (Walk is probably my least favorite on this record, even though its still pretty good and i agree it shouldn't have been the closer)
Rosemary vs. ISHK is an insanely tough matchup. I just love hearing Dave, Krist, and Butch work together again, and Krist’s bass is so heavy and recognizable on ISHK.
White Limo (Bridge should run away with this one. I just love how hard they go in this song. Don’t expect it to win this matchup at all) Dear Rosemary (Damn I really love I Should Have Known too) Miss the Misery Walk
Yep. Several brutal matchups right out of the gate. This already sucks. Bridge Burning Dear Rosemary Back And Forth A Matter Of Time (I know Walk is gonna dominate but I love this song)
-Bridge Burning (my all time favorite Foo song, but man this was a tough match up. They need more songs like White Limo where it's just straight heavy) -Dear Rosemary -Miss the Misery -Walk
They were so cool with this album. Anyone remember the Livestream where they played the whole record live in Dave's garage?
Bridge Burning (This actually wasn't as difficult as I anticipated it to be) Dear Rosemary (This one was relatively close) Back & Forth (Another matchup that's pretty much a coin toss for me - I like both of these songs but I wouldn't consider either to be among my favorites on the album) Walk (Easy)
Current scores: Bridge Burning - 9 White Limo - 2 I Should Have Known - 1 Dear Rosemary - 10 Back & Forth - 5 Miss the Misery - 6 Walk - 9 A Matter of Time - 2
Current scores: Bridge Burning - 10 White Limo - 4 I Should Have Known - 3 Dear Rosemary - 11 Back & Forth - 7 Miss the Misery - 7 Walk - 12 A Matter of Time - 2 I don't have time to listen to the two tied tracks right now to make a decision so I will end the round in a couple hours.
Ok so I have made my decision and I give the edge to Back & Forth! Round 2: These Days Vs. Bridge Burning Arlandria Vs. Dear Rosemary Rope Vs. Back & Forth Better Off Vs. Walk Ouch, this is hurting me.
