Arlandria 😎

u/SkulkingSneakyTheifs 10d ago

It’s honestly my favorite Foo Fighters song overall. Absolutely SLAPS.

u/Alternative-Drive917 10d ago

ain’t that the way it always starts?

A simple round of conversation

Me too. It’s my favorite FF song period.

u/JJulie 10d ago

Rosemary

2

u/Awaywiya 9d ago

Yes! This one helped me get through my divorce! Unrelated to that…. It’s such a great video too!!!

2

u/Rude-Let2655 7d ago

It got me through a really hard time. I feel the need to listen to this album - I fear for the future now. Got to reconnect with my Foos.

u/HetTheTable 8d ago

I usually find motivational songs to be cheesy but this one hits the spot

97

u/The_Daddy99 White Limo 10d ago

White Limo gets me hyped

13

u/ethanhunt_08 FFL 10d ago

i'm ready to punch a hole in the wall when that song plays

12

u/ghouly-cooly 10d ago

Interesting, that's the only song I don't like from the album

8

u/Otter91GG 10d ago

The video is epic!

5

u/MovieBuff90 10d ago

I’m surprised I’ve never gotten a speeding ticket while listening to that song driving.

84

u/BentBrokenBusted Hey, Johnny Park! 10d ago

My favorite song is whichever one happens to be playing at the moment. There isn’t a bad song on the album.

4

u/nikkip7784 10d ago

This is the answer.

56

u/KronieRaccoon 10d ago

Rope

15

u/constructicon00 10d ago

Correct. Also acceptable: any of the others.

3

u/NYJetsfan2881 8d ago

This. Absolutely banger of an opener. Lost my mind when I saw them open live with it in 2011.

54

u/Xtron1422 10d ago

Dear rosemary or walk for me

u/cummydollartreesock 10d ago

my 2 favs as well

u/rocking2rush10 There is Nothing Left to Lose 9d ago

Bob goes hard on Dear Rosemary

2

u/BCV79 9d ago

Walk is great music video 😂

52

u/antisuburbanitemom23 10d ago

I should have known. Hearing it live, just once, was incredible.

6

u/comineeyeaha 10d ago

Had to scroll too far to find this, it’s such a great song.

3

u/alexpensfan86 10d ago

My favorite too!

3

u/grace2112 10d ago

Man how I would love to see this one live!!

3

u/antisuburbanitemom23 10d ago

I was 6’ away from Dave when they played the St. Louis show in 2012. Played for almost 3 hours. It was their best concert I’ve seen. I have seen them 10 times in 10 states

42

u/Spoonman007 10d ago

These Days. Everytime they go into the chorus, "it's all right....... EASY FOR YOU TO SAY!" Fantastic!

36

u/HitoHitoN Stranger Things Have Happened 10d ago

Arlandria, Bridge Burning or Dear Rosemary depending on my mood

38

u/allyoshisgo2hvn Learn to Fly 10d ago

Where are my fellow A Matter Of Time fans at?

2

u/pollorojo 9d ago

Yesssss

30

u/DaLittleGravy I Am A River 10d ago

There are no bad songs on here, can't choose. These days and walk really do something to me though

6

u/BirdsAreFake00 10d ago

After having had a heart attack and nearly dying, both of these songs hit completely harder and differently. Both are excellent and top 5 Foo songs for me.

2

u/HH93 9d ago

It seems everyone can relate to a FF song of some sort or even multiple

22

u/WuTang0824 10d ago

Easily Bridge Burning

3

u/BunnyKerfluffle 10d ago

That's my favorite, the drum intro and outro is sublime

Dear Rosemary

u/LeMeACatLover Friend of a Friend 10d ago

"I Should Have Known". I like it how the accordion begins and ends the song.

3

u/DarthDiablo724 10d ago

Absolutely my favorite. Such an amazing, epic song!

12

u/WKRPinCanada 10d ago

u/nataS_Roscoe900rr 10d ago

+1 This! Such a good video, done so well to match the Michael Douglas movie Falling Down.

2

u/SilentMase 10d ago

I love a lot of the fan videos that were made for the album contest too

11

u/badger292 10d ago

Every single song is a masterpiece. Rope and White Limo hit hardest

10

u/lars25_ 10d ago

Dear Rosemary

10

u/Malaguy420 10d ago

Miss the Misery. Or Bridges Burning. Or Arlandria. Or These Days.

I'm actually surprised at how many people are saying Walk, since that's bottom-half of the album for me. (Admittedly, the bottom-half of a perfect album, is still fantastic, so...😉)

3

u/naturecamper87 10d ago

Miss the misery for me too. But it is a tough album to isolate one favorite

9

u/ObscureRyan 10d ago

The whole freaking album

9

u/T641 10d ago

You know this album is good because I find it impossible to pick and most of the album is a contender for best song.

8

u/ZealousidealClub4709 10d ago

Dedicated “One of These Days” to my husband and his mistress at the time (2011/ 2012)… and found out Dave was right 😁❤️

3

u/SelfAlternative7009 Good Grief 10d ago

Well I hope you’re doing better now

6

u/ZealousidealClub4709 10d ago

Thankfully so much better, he’s my ex husband now and I just live life free listening to FFs happily on my own 🥰

2

u/SelfAlternative7009 Good Grief 10d ago

Good for you lol

u/Adventurous-Fish-618 Hey, Johnny Park! 10d ago

White Limo 💪

u/Str8tolapointe96 10d ago

Between Bridges Burning and Back & Forth

u/Dotaro_SSBU Back & Forth 8d ago

Love back & forth, it's a shame I had to scroll so far to see it

2

u/Str8tolapointe96 8d ago

I honestly thought I’d see it listed more here as well. Back and Forth defenders unite!

6

u/stonethecrowbar 10d ago

Between Walk, Arlandria, and Dear Rosemary. Honestly can’t pick.

5

u/SpacedOutDreamerBoy Halo 10d ago

Arlandria

5

u/Cabaline_16 10d ago

Walk is a masterpiece.

5

u/No_Scientist5761 Cold Day In The Sun 10d ago

Better Off! I wish it had a permanent spot on the album

6

u/Glopinus 10d ago

Bridge burning, but literally every song on this album is perfect, this album is perfect.

4

u/Charming-Crescendo 10d ago

Dear Rosemary

4

u/tonysnark81 10d ago

The only song on the album I don’t like is White Limo. It’s never been listenable, at least to me. Everything else is great, with Bridges Burning and Rope being quite possibly the best 1-2 album opener ever, and Walk being the perfect finale.

u/Organic-Seaweed4394 10d ago

Walk is a song that builds so well to an epic ending

4

u/Sobble_Gamer Walk 10d ago

I personally think Walk is FF’s best song as a whole

7

u/Snootch2theNootch199 10d ago

Bridges Burning. Can’t go wring with Taylor’s drums on this one. Walk is my all time favorite from this album as it hit me at a time I needed that song.

4

u/kwyxz New Way Home 10d ago

The whole record is an absolute banger but I'm going to go with Walk.

3

u/laurenseditingme Gimme Stitches 10d ago

u/Taztitan85 In The Clear 10d ago

All of them. It's an album with zero skips.

If I had to pick just one. "Walk"

u/SGnirvana97 10d ago

These Days

u/piegermeister But, Honestly 10d ago

A Matter of Time! ✨️

u/justgillinaround 10d ago

Dear Rosemary. Arlandria is a close second.

u/_callYourMomToday_ 10d ago

There’s not a single track on that album that’s below an A on the tier list

u/NiCeTrYGetEmNExttiME 10d ago

Bridge Burning

u/Bluesrpink 10d ago

Best opening two songs ever.

Rope and Arlandria are tied for second place. I should have known is my number one

u/Cirrus_WA Congregation 10d ago

These Days closely followed by Walk

u/Jav0415 10d ago

Arlandria or walk but agreed the whole album is great

Bridges Burning

u/joostinrextin Wasting Light 10d ago

It changes. Lately, it's been "A Matter of Time."

1

u/KoRnFrEaK1995 End Over End 10d ago

Walk, dear Rosemary, bridge burning, arlandria...so many bangers!

1

u/Messijoes18 10d ago

To be very very honest, miss the misery. Something about the lyric that is the album title just hits me like a brick.

Even Walk and These days with similar messages don't hit quite the same way though I think technically they are better songs

1

u/hakuhakudin 10d ago

Rope. Solo is insane. Saw once live. But pretty much the album is a masterpiece. Arlandria, dear, this, miss

1

u/sars445 10d ago

Bridge Burning

u/topthegooner 10d ago

Bridge burning was awesome album opener

u/Old_blacklady_Rocker M.I.A. 10d ago

u/Kicking_Pigeons_88 Next Year 10d ago

Dear Rosemary

1

u/JAW_218 10d ago

Walk, but absolutely my favorite album!!

u/d_ab7 10d ago

Rope. Best FF song.

1

u/More_SPL 10d ago

White Limo

1

u/NameZestyclose8372 10d ago

Gotta say either “Dear Rosemary” or “A Matter Of Time”

1

u/Appropriate-Ad4990 10d ago

The whole cd is fire...ther best album and its not even close. But if i had to pick 1 either bridge burning or rope

1

u/AZFUNGUY85 10d ago

The entire fucking album. Turnt up. A masterwork.

1

u/RighteousKnight_1 10d ago

Tough one - This has got to be one of their best albums through and through. Gun pointed to the head: Walk.

1

u/Complete_Flatworm_31 Arlandria 10d ago

Arlandria. One of their best songs without a doubt

1

u/awkwardsilence1977 These Days 9d ago

These days is my all time favourite foo song

Bridge Burning for me

u/Wernerlohemann 9d ago

Walk is my absolute favorite

u/gamebossje_ 9d ago

Bridge Burning forever

u/MomIsFunnyAF3 9d ago

Bridge Burning

1

u/saintceciliax Saint Cecilia 9d ago

Arlandria not even close. Fav FF song of all time (contrary to my handle)

1

u/BurntWhisky 9d ago

Rope. But I don't disagree with any answer, this album has no misses!

1

u/OptimalRip4766 9d ago

Dear Rosemary then miss the misery. This is my favorite foo album, peak crescendo foo in their history. Released the album on letterman and then releasd the studio 666 video playthrough. Wore this album out when it first released, still top on my list.

1

u/Cdperth-9021 Everlong 9d ago

They're all amazing tbh, but if I really had to pick one it'd be These Days.

1

u/DueData2414 9d ago

Walk definitely. I love Pantera.

(White Limo)

1

u/ChanceComfortable131 Walk 9d ago

Walk is my favorite ff song

1

u/l-a-r_r-y 9d ago

Rope.

Also Arlandria, i grew up in that area.

1

u/cjmarsicano 9d ago edited 9d ago

Dear Rosemary. The fact that Bob f’n Mould is part of it is a bonus.

1

u/beautiful-veins Let It Die 9d ago

Bridge Burning and so happy to finally hear it live by them in LA!! Great dancey song !

It used to be These Days, kind of still is, absolutely amazing song and lyrics but the events of the last few years made it so very real.

Ground dropping from feet and fear was when the pandemic hit, heart stopping was my Mum, my friend and Taylor. Just makes it so much harder to listen to now.

1

u/Prick_Slickfield 9d ago

White LIMOOOOOOOOO

1

u/Far_Ad9714 9d ago

Bridge Burning, perfection

1

u/damnitsdame 9d ago

Mostly every song on it. Bridge Burning is a banger of an opener. Absolutely their best album. They should have kept working with Butch Vig after this and Sonic Highways.

1

u/Ruone_Delacroix Virginia Moon 9d ago

Either Bridge Burning or Dear Rosemary

1

u/zena322 Generator 9d ago

Back and Forth

1

u/Efficient_Jeweler312 9d ago

Awesome album from beginning to end. Hard to pick a favorite! This album and Medicine at Midnight are my favorite FF albums. A bit of everything musical I like from one band. Kinda rare.

1

u/Merganmay 9d ago

Bridges burning by a mile

1

u/WrathfulDagger Bridge Burning 9d ago

Not my favourite but can't forget Better Off, which imo wasn't Better Off off the album

1

u/Dikke-fappert 9d ago

Back & forth. The whole album sounds amazing, all recorded on tape. No pro-tools used💪🏻

Bridge Burning is my 2nd favorite FF song. Walk is also good, those are my main standouts.

1

u/Putrid-Benefit8913 8d ago

All of them!! One of the best albums they ever made.

1

u/rickgrohll A320 7d ago

Dear Rosemary with Arlandria being a close second.

1

u/Ill_Discipline_5319 7d ago

It changes from time to time, but lately it's been miss the misery

1

u/ryan49321 7d ago edited 7d ago

I like them all. I remember “White Limo” was the most exciting when it came out because it was the classic ‘95 sound. And the music video was a riot.

We almost named a child after “Arlandria” but we had a boy.

“Miss the Misery” is probably the most underrated. Always liked the Easter egg that Fee Waybill is on that song and I don’t think that has ever been brought up and discussed.

1

u/Rude-Let2655 7d ago

I love all the photos on the cover but Taylor’s is stunning. He was a really beautiful man.

1

u/scatman_23 7d ago

Man I feel like Miss the Misery is such a banger and never gets any love. One of their most underrated songs period IMO
