With the demise of one of my all-time favourite bands Nirvana in 1994, I was watching the remaining members of the band like a hawk, waiting to see what they'd do, if anything. Thankfully they didn't try to keep Nirvana going, the way some other bands have kept theirs going even with the deaths or departures of lynchpins in their groups. But imagine my teenaged delight (read: excited squealing and jumping around) when I found a little article in a teeny magazine that informed me Dave Grohl had a new band...Foo Fighters! We were told that there would be no video clip for any of the singles, but soon thereafter I watched back through a tape of the Australian music show Rage and stumbled across a video for "I'll Stick Around" - cue much more girly squealing and dancing. Even today, 14 years after the album's release, I still listen to this album and love almost every second of it.
