would have gone with 'hey johnny park'. probably the only foo fighters track that's ever made me sit up and listen closely. kind of anthemic, which is what i hate about a lot of foo fighters material, but somehow kind of moving.

Sorry I missed this - still very fond of this album. Would have probably joined the Everlong contingent, but if I tabled that I could give it to "My Poor Brain," "My Hero," "Enough Space" - oh, shit, nevermind! "New Way Home," EASY. No contest. The blood of the 16-year-old me still inside my head is pumping just thinking about that long buildup to triumph and escape at the end, fucking KICK ASS track, as good as alt-rock ever got.

I was joking upthread btw, Everlong is amazing.

two years pass...

Just listened to "New Way Home" on a whim, still blows me away, came here to post almost exactly what I posted three years ago. Don't care how hokey and uncool this band is, those first couple records are some pretty killer pop-rock.

yeah great record. later ones have lots of good songs, too, just are more hit-or-miss.

yeah i listened to this last week on a whim and it's way more cohesive than i remembered it. prefer the tighter x-files soundtrack version of "walking after you" though

oh cool i didn't realize that a while back they did a 3 1/2 show where they dug out "New Way Home" and "Enough Space" and "See You" and "Hey, Johnny Park!"

can't believe "New Way Home" got no votes. it's not like i'd bet my firstborn on it in a battle against "Everlong" or anything, but it deserved a vote, at least.

My Poor Brain is my jam from here tho Everlong is sweet too
