Foo Fighters (CD)

Released the year after Kurt Cobain's suicide, Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl stepped up to the plate with his debut (commercial) release as a frontman in 1995. Foo Fighters succeed in creating a powerful heavy rock album that's neither noisy nor stale is a measured accomplishment in its own right. So bask in the familiar neo-garage punk (a.k.a. grunge) of I'll Stick Around, Oh, George, and Good Grief. You might even be surprised by Grohl's own pop chops on the mellow Byrds-like folk rock Big Me and catchy rave-up This Is a Call. The Foo Fighters prove that even if you can't go home again, it sure is comfortable hanging out next door.
