the Foo Fighters have been releasing the same album for years
first two were great, the rest of all the same. Nice guys, good band, but they need to do some different songs.

I haven't listened since the first two and maybe that double album they brought out of rock/less rock stuff.
They just don't seem to have moved on. Alright V?

alright Noel
they haven't moved on, which is a shame. What is also a shame is that the one song they used as a basis for all their more recent stuff wasn't one of the better ones in the first place.

I'd have said the same song myself

Do they, though?
I mean, Meatloaf's been doing the same album for the last thirty years, and he hasn't lost any fans over it.

yeah, but Meatloaf has little talent
other than a reasonable voice, whereas Dave Grohl et al. are capable of writing interesting songs.

Meatloaf's best performance
was being murdered with an icepick by a transvestite in The Rocky Horror Picture Show

I went to see Meatloaf a couple of years ago
it was a great night

Say what you really think man, don't hold back or anything.

I quite liked him having his head shot open in Fight Club
and when he explodes in 51st State

I quite liked Dave Grohl's collaborative album.

Them Crooked Vultures
A good step away from his (and Josh Hommes) normal- still enjoy that album.

I like it
but I'd disagree that it is a step away from Josh Homme's usual stuff

^This
I still like their third album, but so much this. The same is also true of everything the Red Hot Chilli Peppers recorded after Californication.

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers really bore me to tears

I think there's just something about modern American rock music
The Foo Fighters have the same problem - there's nothing particularly wrong with the music, it's not overtly shit, I just can't be bothered to listen to it.
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 15 May 2011, 12:38, Reply)

I just look at stuff like Everlong and Hey Johnny Park from FF's second album
and think they were doing things right, and then they released several albums of the same boring song, more or less. and people lap it up.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Sun 15 May 2011, 12:41, Reply)

Maybe it's something about American audiences as well - are they just happy to buy the same album over and over again
Hell, it's been working for Green Day since about '89. Look what happened when they tried to do something "different" - Warning was, I thought, a brave effort, but it absolutely bombed. Then they went back to the same old formula and - whaddya know? - success again...
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 15 May 2011, 12:44, Reply)

89?
Have Greenday really been going that long? I thought they were only about twelve!

Blood Sugar Sex Magic is an outstanding album
and One Hot Minute is good, but they did go down hill somewhat.

I saw them at Reading in 2007, they were fucking diabolical.
I was really looking forward to it and they sucked shit. They had to restart two songs cos they fucked them up.

Yup.

so I should be glad I never managed to get tickets that one time they came to Melbourne..

(Poppet some assembly required., Sun 15 May 2011, 12:59, Reply)

I saw them at a festival in Denmark and they were fucking superb
that was probably 2002 or thereabouts.

I have never understood the appeal
to a certain extent this could also be said of Radiohead.
