Bump This Thread When Jimmy Carter Outlives Someone Nonterrible

damn 10 psychoactives feels like 9 more than necessary

You’re not much of a drug user, I take it.

true. i live in a state with legalized weed, and it’s pretty much the most i hope to ever need

When you start stacking drugs it’s not really about need. It’s more like trying to curate an experience. Start with drinks, smoke a bit. Take some MDMA. Do whippits while you wait to come up. Have a Viagra. Smoke a bit more. Drop some acid when you’re rolling good. Ride the trip out. Smoke some more. Munch some Ambien on the downside, maybe chase it with a beer or two. That’s a pretty great 12 hours right there.

I’m a bit behind, but it’s time for me to post my extremely controversial foo fighters hot take, which is extremely controversial in two ways.

The Foo Fighters are actually a one hit wonder, because most of their music really isn’t very good. But that one hit may be the single greatest song ever made.

It should be impossible for anyone to simultaneously hold these two views, but here we are.

I’m obviously here for the punishment on this one, but it is a weird view I have of them. Everlong is probably one of a handful of songs that I would potentially call my favorite song of all-time and yet I literally never find myself wanting to listen to anything else they’ve made.

I don’t really like FF and for the most part they’re a pass especially some of their bigger hits like “my hero” but not only is everlong really really good but this is also a terrifically great rock song

Foo Fighters have a few good songs but the lots of really meh boring stuff.

Foo fighters CD are very top heavy. The singles are good to very good. Lots of filler.

Never been a huge fan but calling them a one hit wonder is borderline retarded.

Monkey wrench
Rope

Pretender
My hero
You can list like ten. Orr songs

Also, best Queen cover band ever. (From the last show before Taylor passed away. )

Everlong is actually the best song ever. I will give you that one

In all seriousness, I can understand the sentiment of Foo Fighters not being very good because I can understand the sentiment that any band isn’t very good if it isn’t your type of music. For me, I’m a sucker for loud, singable (screamable?) music and especially songs that build from measured restraint to an all out frenzy, and FF are undoubtedly the king at both of those. I don’t listen to FF to learn something or feel feelings. (With exceptions). I listen to them because they’re a blast of energy for me and it feels good on my ear drums

Been avoiding listening to this for a while now because I didn’t feel like crying. Almost made it

No.

I guess I find it pretty silly to call them a one hit wonder, because the very notion of the word “hit” suggests broad commercial success and popularity regardless of one’s own take on the song in question, and the Foo Fighters objectively have many more than one of those.

The thing I’m most confused about is someone thinking that Everlong is in the GOAT conversation, but doesn’t enjoy ANYTHING else they’ve done. Like, what?
