9 Rock Bands Who Hate Their Own Famous Songs

9. Foo Fighters - All My Life

Few people in rock music history can claim to have been in even one generation-defining band, which is what makes Dave Grohl being in two so impressive. Even though Nirvana had more drummers than albums in their time, Dave Grohl was the man behind the kit for their breakthrough record, 'Nevermind' and their final album 'In Utero'. Following Kurt Cobain's death, Grohl went on to form Foo Fighters and the rest is history.

While Foo Fighters have a number of exceptionally famous songs such as 'Everlong', 'The Pretender' and 'Learn to Fly' to their name, 'All My Life' has become an outlying entity in the eyes of Grohl. Grohl's distaste isn't limited to the 'All My Life' single though, and instead extends to the entire 'One By One' album.

When interviewed by Billboard, Grohl said. "It didn’t sound like the band does live. It didn’t feel right." He then continued to say that "we were making an album that wasn’t working" and called the sound of the final product "unfamiliar".

However, Foo Fighters continue to play 'All My Life' and other songs from 'One By One' live, showing that you can still play songs live even if you don't like them.
