If you want to piss people off, claim that Dave Grohl has written and performed more great music than Kurt Cobain. It's true: While his stuff may never be as transcendent as Cobain's, the Foo frontman and ex-Nirvana drummer has soldiered on in superior fashion since Cobain's '94 suicide, delivering a remarkably consistent string of quality discs. (One by One is the lone clunker among the seven Foo records.) The latest, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, ranks with the first disc on In Your Honor as the band's finest work, containing the Foo hallmarks of dynamic crescendos (a whisper-to-a-scream capability to rival Aerosmith); gritty, punk-pop hooks; underrated, passionate vocals; and the occasional affecting ballad. Plus, in whatever incarnation Grohl slaps together, the Foos have always been able to deliver the goods in an arena-sized venue.
