Is there anyone that doesn't like Foo Fighters - Everlong?

[One More Solo]

A thought popped into my head when this came on the radio the other day and that is that I've met plenty of people who don't like the Foos but still have a soft spot for this song. Well, they say you can find anything on the internet so is there anyone here who genuinely doesn't like this song? And, follow up question, what's wrong with you?!

 

[Willis]

I think the Foo Fighters are over rated carp and this song is still a big pile of carp.

 

[No1newts]

I like it, love it in fact, but I can't stand listening to it anymore because it's so overplayed

 

[rodenal]

I dont like it - dont hate it or them particularly but they're just background music to me

Massive FF fan here, been to see them 3 times now and each time they amaze me, the first song that got me hooked on them was Everlong so its always been a top song from them for me

 

[Lysander]

Remember seeing this live on Jools in 1997. We were all blown away.

 

[Vonhelmet]

Great track, but I think they've gone off the rails lately.

 

[Willis]

We were all blown away.

Not me

 

[Lysander]

Not me

Yeah well... in 1997 it was awesome. Context, my friend.

 

[Tunney]

Amazing video too.

 

[JBod]

Never heard it before. Sorry. Just "meh".

 

[Kosmiche]

Its about rape right?

Their best song for sure.

 

[SexyGreyFox]

You say that as though it was something completely different never heard before but it's a blatant Nirvana rip off.

Anyway, it's OK and I'd put it on a pub playlist.

My tastes are pedestrian, what can I say.

 

[PapaLazaru]

Good tune. Ok band. I think I have the album that this track is on but that is all. Dave Grohl is great though.

 

[hanluc]

'My Hero' is the only track of theirs I like.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Like it but prefer Times Like These.

 

[physichull]

I love Echoes Silence Patience and Grace. Brilliant album. BUT, I can't really stand them live, its all just...shouty. I mean, I know its rock and roll and all that, but I honestly prefer their cds, and bands should sound better live, but they don't. They used to, maybe circa 2005 when I saw them first, but after that, its like the huge popularity has meant they can get away with being "shouty".

 

[One More Solo]

Never heard it before. Sorry. Just "meh".

Don't know what's more shocking, the fact you don't like it or that you've only just heard it.

Its about rape right?

Their best song for sure.

No and yes.

You know Dave Grohl was in Nirvana right?

It's hilarious when people accuse FFs of being Nirvana "rip offs" when they have the best excuse out of anyone for being so.
