Mixtape: Best of Non-Single Foo Fighters


Hi everyone, and welcome to another one of my Mixtapes. If you're not sure what a Mixtape is, here's an explanation...

A Mixtape is a playlist of a certain genre, band or era. The list is generally 80 minutes long, the same length of a blank CD, with further recommendations if some of the songs aren't to your taste. Remember kids, downloading is wrong! 

As the world has moved on from CDs and we're in a digital age now, I also make the playlist on Spotify and YouTube where possible.

Celebrating 25 years of the Foo Fighters! In case you're wondering, this is a list of what I think are the best Foo Fighters songs - that have never been singles. I'm surprised that some of these songs aren't singles, especially as they are regularly played live or even have music videos in some cases. The final song of the list can be argued that it's Dave Grohl as a solo artist rather than the Foo Fighters as it was around the time when Nirvana broke up, but then, the whole first Foo Fighters album is also technically Dave as a solo artist when you think about it!




Without any further delay, here's the Best of Non-Single Foo Fighters! Next to the tracks are what album each song came out on. Where possible, I've also linked each track on YouTube.
  1. Still (In Your Honor)
  2. Make it Right (Concrete and Gold)
  3. Dear Rosemary (Wasting Light)
  4. See You (The Colour and the Shape)
  5. Stranger Things Have Happened (Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace)
  6. Wattershed (Foo Fighters)
  7. Free Me (In Your Honor)
  8. Disenchanted Lullaby (One by One)
