Will this be the song that finally de-thrones Weezer from the #1 spot on alternative? 2 2 FOO FIGHTERS Let It Die 2019 1824 195 8.848 It's beginning to look like it, and it's about time. This one is way better than "Long Road to Ruin". Considering that this hits #1, that'll be funny. The band preventing Weezer from breaking the record for weeks at #1 is the band that has the record. On Active Rock: 5 5 FOO FIGHTERS Let It Die 1537 1397 140 5.417

The singles they release from their albums are generally inconsistent... and this for me is this album's weak single.

Well it barely made it, but this is now the new #1 song on alternative. This is their 3rd #1 there from their latest album.

^I thought you did like this...
I don't think it's boring, but it does seem to burn rather quickly. Even faster than "Long Road to Ruin" (although this is a much better song imo).

Good song, but I do agree that the build-up is too long. When I hear this I hit play, wait, go get a snack or something, come back and continue listening.

LOL, that's a good way to put it.
While this era is their most successful, I don't think it's my favorite. Not sure if "The Pretender", "Long Road", and "Let it Die" are better than "Best of You", "D.O.A." and "No Way Back". And those 3 might not stack up againt "Monkeywrench", "Everlong" and "My Hero".
Either way, The Foos have made a lot of great songs and are one of my favorite bands.

These songs easily beat "Best of You", "D.O.A." and "No Way Back".

^What makes you say that?
"Long Road to Ruin" is incomparable to "D.O.A" I think.

I think "D.O.A." is the weakest of those three singles.

It may be...just goes to show you how strong that era really was!! "Best of You" was the best from that era though.
But I don't think either compares to the other one I was talking about.

What about "Best of You" and "My Hero"? That's two of their absolute best (although I think "Everlong" is my favorite).

I didn't hear "Everlong" until a couple months ago. My stations conveniently ignore most of the 90's.

This is probably my favorite era by them along with The Colour And The Shape
I think you would like Times Like These, Next Year or Generator.
But for what i know of your tastes...lol....I Think you would love many songs from There's Nothing Left To Lose

^Best Foo Fighters songs IMO... Learn To Fly (by far), Miracle, D. O. A., My Hero, and Walking After You
This one's alright...nothin that special though IMO

^Lol, my 5 favorites from them would have to be "Everlong", "Best of You", "The Pretender", "D.O.A." and "Monkeywrench".
I also liked "Miracle", and thought it deserved to do a lot better on Hot AC than spending 2 weeks on the chart at #40.

The Foo Fighters have never been especially good.
