i'm not saying there are not bands that rock right now.
i'm saying none of them rock like the foo fighters.
their records are minimally produced, they sound like they are minimally edited, the sound like they have very few (if any) samples used, their guitar tones seem more natural then the typical mesa boogie triple rectifier.
until rage against the machine puts out another studio record, the foo fighters seem to be standing alone in the category of, "we're just a rock band, being a rock band"
i'm all ears though for examples of other platinum selling artists in todays studio climate that are just 'being a band"
i would love nothing more then to have a long list of such bands.
