Foo Fighters

Kurt who? We have always secretly preferred the songwriting of Dave Grohl. His sometimes loopy, sometimes profoundly smart rock songs are as melodic and addictive as anything by that other band he once played in. Plus, Grohl stuck around to write moreÑa quality to be admired, to be sure. In fact, the Foo Fighters have a whole lot more to share these days: two CDs’s worth. A heavy set and a softer one show off the split personality of this band, as does an intriguing array of guest stars, including Norah Jones and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones.
