Listening to Sam's Town again and... man. It reminds me why I started this thread. 

I mean this album completely blows away anything The Foo Fighters ever put out. 

Here's maybe like the 7th best song off of Sam's Town.

This has more lyrical substance to it than anything that Dave Grohl ever wrote.

 

What is awesome about music is that each song can impact each person in a unique and personal way. Nostalgia, chord progression, vocals, lyrical relation, virtuosity, mix, production, etc. As such, "this band is better than that band" kinds of comparisons are very personal. There are some songs by each of these bands that resonate with me. Some because of the stories they tell; some because of the vocals; some because they allow me to just let go...

Violent Femmes wrote several great songs htat resonated with millions of people and they sucked as players. I will never mistake chops for creativity.

I couldn't care less if someone thinks The Killers are a far better band than Foo Fighters. I don't get that perspective one bit, but hey, I hate Jethro Tull and The Doors even more. It's just music. Listen to what you like. There is no Super Bowl.

My last bump was mainly just to fuck with y'all. Rep for hating the Doors.
