JORGE'S NEED FOR SPRING MIXTAPE

Written by The 405
As usual Chicago has delivered the insane weather. Currently it is snowing! It friggin' April! As I walk up and down Michigan Ave and State St, all I really crave is one of those amazing art school dance parties. I want to stop worrying about carrying a coat or proper shoes that won't get damaged from the salt. I composed this list out of the desire for a tropical drink, sun and the ability to wear a spring outfit. I posted some of the best songs that let me reminisce of those May days when the end of school is upon many and the beaches begin to get flocked by all Chicagoans. Here's to dancing and Spring! Let the fresh air and crisp melodies keep you from sulking in your S.A.D.

Nirvana, mainly because they were over and done with before I was musically conscious so Dave Grohl couldn't ruin them for me by how intrinsically annoying he is. [view article]

We are including all his musical directions in the debate, which is why we're discussing whether he was better in Foo Fighters or Probot also. Facts are he is a better drummer than he is a guitarist or vocalist, and as we're debating which band he was best in rather than which band he made the best, he thus performed better in Nirvana and QOTSA. To repeat what some of the others have said, he's been good in Foos and had a lot of fame, but hasn't been nearly as influential or impressive as in the bands beforehand. [view article]

Sure, but since Grohl has played his hand at many different musical directions its important to include all of them in this debate in order to find out when he was at his best. Otherwise It'd be a debate about when he was the best drummer... For the record, I do think he's a really good drummer. But doesn't it take a little something away from QOTSA as a band and Grohl himself, if were just going to consider his one off involvement with the group as his crowning moment? I've always been a fan of that band, way before Grohl ever did SFTD with them and though he was a great addition, it's not like the album was carried on his drumming alone. QOTSA are an awesome band regardless of whether Grohl played with them or not. [view article]
