10 Perfect Albums That Artists Don't Want To Talk About

10. One By One - Foo Fighters

After the dissolution of Nirvana, Foo Fighters were our first sign that everything was going to be okay. If Dave Grohl could find a way to pick up the pieces of his broken band and rise to the top of the music world again, we could find a way to move on from grunge's shadow as well. The future was full of hope, but it was looking a lot more bleak around the early '00s.

Since the last few years were filled with drama from band members leaving and bringing in new guitarist Chris Shiftlett, the original sessions for One by One were filled with tension in the studio, with Taylor Hawkins not being all that happy that Dave had played in Queens of the Stone Age in their downtime. While both Taylor and Dave settled their differences, they realized that half of the album they were working with didn't sound a lot like them, having to rerecord half of the songs from scratch and putting a lot more energy into their performances.

As much as songs like All My Life and Times Like These have become classics though, Dave has been pretty negative about this record since then, saying that there were only a handful of good songs on the record and he never wanted to play any of the other songs ever again. Then again, the Foo Fighters always seem to be coming from a place of joy, and you can understand why Dave doesn't really want to revisit these dark times that often.
