It COULD Ever Be This Good Again

In 1997, the Foo Fighters released their second full-length album, The Colour and the Shape. At the time, I thought it was fucking brilliant, except for one extremely overrated sore spot. One song was overplayed, was way overrated, and quite frankly, bugged the living shit out of me. The song I'm referring to is "Everlong."

Nine years later, six of which was sans radio, I've been hit with an epiphanous hammer. This song is really fucking good! To be fair, though, it is a lot easier to appreciate a piece of art when one isn't being inundated by its ubiquitous presence via the logic behind "heavy rotation." Anyway, not only is the album version great, it sounds great acoustic, it sounds great live, it sounds great in a house, it sounds great with a mouse...

Anyway, Dave Grohl, you win this round, you bastard.
