10 Biggest Album Disasters Of All Time

10. The Colour and the Shape - Foo Fighters

When looking for the best of modern rock acts, Foo Fighters have proven themselves to be a pretty safe bet. While Dave Grohl's standard brand of rock and roll has gotten fairly predictable at this stage, The Colour and the Shape showed the potential from the very beginning, with the full band being brought in to back Grohl's amazing melodies on songs like My Hero and Everlong. That is, almost the full band.

For as much slapdash production goes into most albums, this is the one post grunge album that proved to be so good, they recorded it twice. During the initial production for the record, producer Gil Norton began getting more and more unhappy with William Goldsmith's drumming, calling him part of the 'rhythmless section' to whip him into shape. When things didn't come together though, Grohl decided to take matters into his own hands, recording every one of the tracks again behind Goldsmith's back.

After hearing about the newer takes, Goldsmith abruptly quit the band, leaving the Foos to find Taylor Hawkins before going out on the road. That was only the start of the madness, with guitarist Pat Smear quitting midway through the tour and replacement guitarist Pat Smear joining and leaving before even making their next record. Even though Dave Grohl has made a name for himself as one of the nicest rockstars working today, it's not like everything was sunshine and roses from the ground up.
