Hard Reset
Nebula
Yeah2 Beats
Pioneer
Dusk
Session
Streets
Twilight
There’s something about modern electronica… or rather, there’s just nothing to it. It’s always that same damn tired 808 pounding like a robot’s heartbeat as it bores its way inside the ear canal. Emphasis on bore. If you aren’t strung out on heavy drugs, it’s unlistenable.

Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters (1995)
Rock / Pop / Alternative
Written and performed almost entirely by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, the Foo Fighters debut is classic grunge-pop with Grohl’s sonic signature all over it.
