About This Site

Each month I select 20 songs (10 songs twice a month) that I am either hooked on or am curious about. Most of the music I select are rock, hip-hop, R&B and pop songs.

My song selection comes from 20-30 CDs I get from various sources each month, as well as recommendations from iTunes and Amazon. I also check out the charts in US, UK and Japan.

Foo Fighters - Wheels

Album: Greatest Hits

It is a bit surprising that Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters has not released “greatest hits” album until now. They have been around since the mid 90s, which means it took them fourteen years and six hit albums before they decided to finally release the best of album, when some artists release best of series in half of that time. Kudos to Foo Fighters for sticking around this long and continuing to create good music. And like most Greatest Hits package, there are a couple of new songs. The two new songs are both produced by Butch Vigg, who has known Grohl for a long time as he produced Nirvana’s Nevermind album, and Grohl has guest drummed on Vigg’s band, Garbage at one time. Compared to most of Foo’s hits, “Wheels” is a mellow slow track. It is doing very well on the US rock chart.
