Godlike Genius Award: Dave Grohl

The best mainstream music source for as long as I can remember held its awards show last night. The complete list of winners is that the bottom. 

Um, yessssss. Foo's walk an interesting line. Maybe too mainstream for all the hip#*$'s out there. Maybe to hardcore for our parents. I like a lot of their stuff, but not all. But Grohl's so much more than a Foo. He's been in more than 30 bands! And not garage bands. Bands like Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana. When Tom Petty's longtime drummer quit in the mid-nineties, The Heartbreakers tried to woo the Foo, to no avail (though he did briefly tour with them.)

In 2002, he set a world record for having been on 10 top recordings in a single year (I forget if this was Billboard or something else) due to Foo Fighters, QOTSA, and the newly released "I Know You're Right" from Nirvana's box set. 

Here's some of what I've said about him lately.

Punk, Grunge, Pop, Ballad, Metal, Goof. 

Genius.
