DAVE GROHL IS HARDCORE

Despite the fact that I thought that Them Crooked Vultures was the most boringest thing in the history of ever, my man-crush on Dave Grohl continues unabated. I’m not even that big of a Foo Fighters fan, truth be told. I think they’re fine, but I don’t love them or anything. Mostly, I just think that Grohl is an awesome drummer who elevates nine out of ten projects he hits skins for (see: Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails, etc.), and he seems like a cool dude. Which is, of course, key.

Also, once a year I break out that Probot record, and each listen makes me appreciate it more than the last. Remember how Zakk Wylde was really pissed that Grohl was supposed to write some tracks for Ozzy? But Grohl wrote better metal songs than Wylde has in for-ever. Sheesh.

Why am I talking about all this?

Oh yeah. Grohl just did his list of “Top Ten ’80s Hardcore Songs” for Rolling Drone. I’m not gonna pretend to be an expert in ’80s hardcore, so I can’t actually comment on the list, but the shit I know seems pretty sound. And even if you think Grohl is a fucking mo’ron, well, this will be fun to argue about, no?

Check out Grohl’s list here, then come back and engage in some debatin’ in our comments section.
