I love music and know most of the artists around but for some reason I have only just picked up on the Foo-Fighters. I heard Walk recently and thought "who was that", then heard another great rack on Absolute 90s last night and found it was Hero by Foo Fighters from 1995. How have I overlooked them for all these years?

Have you ever completely overlooked a group until many years later?

If and when you can catch the Foos live. They are incredible. Grohl has so much energy and puts everything into each song.
Too many to even think about!

As a music fanatic from as long as i can remember, i am only too aware that there are billions of hours of fabulous music out there that i will simply never hear before I die.

It strikes me when I recall how i heard a particular sound that I now love, and the sheer serendipity of the moment.

I was at Download a few years ago, and wandered into the press arena where a guy was mixing 12" singles for the chillin' press types. I heard the Rolling Stones' 'Miss You' remixed by Dr. Dre and fell in love with it instantly.

If I had not wandered in there just at that time, I would have missed it, and who knows what he played before, and after, that I may have loved even more!

You have to accept that some wonderful things you find later rather than sooner, and enjoy them and carry on catching up - that's the wonderful bit.

The 'lost' sounds are just that - lost, so don't dwell on them, chase new music every day - I do!
My favourite FF track

Foo Fighters are my favourite band of all time. I LOVE Dave Grohl as you can probably tell by my avatar haha.. This is just one of my favourites, you can't just pick one! x

Next you'll be saying you still haven't bought Caro Emerald's CD.
I can't think of any groups that i've overlooked at the moment. I hate it when a group gets lots of hype as I then just instinctively don't like them but then a couple of years will go by and i'll get into them on my own. Like the Kaiser Chiefs a few years ago.. still don't see what all the fuss was about with the Arctic Monkeys though lol x
