Best of Foo (Foo Fighters bracket) Bracket • Page 32

tbh I don't know any of these songs besides skin and bones

 

@Micool1 I'm starting to work my way through these songs now! Are you planning on keeping this round open until late afternoon/early evening?

 

Yeah I'll probably extend it a little to let everyone listen to the tracks

 

You don't know Wheels and Word Forward? Also Soldier is the latest song they have released, shortly after Concrete and Gold.

 

I didn't know any of the ESP&G b-sides. They were pretty decent.

 

A320 is an all-time great Foo song.

 

Normal (I do enjoy Skin and Bones, but I prefer this Foo Fighters style)

Wheels (I think this was my first time ever hearing FFL - it's quite a departure from the majority of their material!)

Make a Bet (Basically the same comment that I had in the Normal vs. Skin and Bones matchup)

Word Forward (This was tough! I like both of these a fair amount, but I'll give this the slight edge)

The One (This song is awesome - I just listened to it for the first time in years and it still holds up!)

Empty Handed (I don't think I've ever heard either of these songs - I like the aggressiveness of this song!)

Win or Lose (Soldier is fine, but this was pretty easy)

Spill (This was a tougher one, but I'm going to go with Spill. I particularly enjoy the second half of A320, but the first half is a bit forgettable for me)

 

Skin & Bones
Wheels
Marigold
World
The One
If Ever
Soldier
Spill

Wheels (I like both of these quite a bit, but I'll have to give the edge to Wheels! Funny story - I was out to lunch with @Larry David a couple days ago and the restaurant we were at had this song playing. It was probably the first time I had heard it in years!)

World (I'm on the record plenty of times in this thread saying that while I enjoy the slower Foo Fighters tracks it's not my preferred style)

The One (Very easy)

Spill (Probably the toughest one for me this round)

 

It is a great date song.
