Single from their upcoming 'Greatest Hits' album. Goes for adds September 28th. Should be interesting to see what this sounds like. They seem to be doing no wrong on Alternative at the moment. Last 3 singles all #1. Possibly a fourth?

They already played it live. It was debuted in some performance they did at the White House, about one month ago. I like it, but I feel like it should have been something different and much better. I wanted another huge hard-rock song like "All My Life", "Best Of You" or "The Pretender". "Wheels" is a bit like "Summer's End". It sounds like something that would fit on Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. Oh, well, it's just a single to promote the Greatest Hits. For what it is, it's good enough. There will be one more new song on it, though. Excited to hear it. :)

The Foo Fighters are one of those bands that already had well enough hit-making material to compile a Greatest Hits album a couple album eras ago.
It'll be interesting to see how this collection is composed. They might literally follow the term and have a breadth of material that's dominantly electric, or they might just soften it around the edges and add some acoustic selections from their more recent albums (such as "Miracle" and "Cold Day In The Sun", which neither made significant commercial impact)
Sincerely, Noah Eaton

Would be an awesome tracklisting to me:
1. Everlong 2. Wheels 3. Big Me 4. My Hero 5. Learn To Fly 6. Walking After You 7. Monkey Wrench 8. All My Life 9. Times Like These 10. DOA 11. Generator 12. Best Of You 13. The Pretender 14. Let It Die 15. *New Song* 16. Miracle/ Long Road To Ruin
So long the tracklist, but IMO more songs could do this tracklist lol

I'd like for them to do a disc of hits and a disc of b-sides and rarities, a la the recent packages by The Jayhawks, Incubus, et al. Really, they could fill an awesome two-CD collection with just hits, and then throw in a disc 3 for the rarities, but I doubt that happens, so I'll keep my hopes up for the former.

Any "Best of" from Foo Fighters that didn't include "I'll Stick Around" would be utterly useless to me.
Actually to be 'punny' it would be udderly useless without "For All The Cows"

I'm pretty surprised they didn't have a Best Of out already since their first album came out in 1995. They have to include "I'll Stick Around" on there. That was their first single ever. If they don't, that's complete blasphemy!

"This Is A Call" was actually the first single.

My tracklisting taking into Modern Rock radio chart peaks:
1 "This Is a Call" – 3:53 (#2) 2 "I'll Stick Around" – 3:52 (#8) 3 "Big Me" – 2:12 (#3) 4 "Monkey Wrench" – 3:51 (#9) 5 "Everlong" – 4:10 (#3) 6 "My Hero" – 4:20 (#6) 7 "Learn to Fly" – 3:58 (#1) 8 "Breakout" – 3:21 (#8) 9 "All My Life" – 4:24 (#1) 10 "Times Like These" – 4:26 (#5) 11 "Darling Nikki" - 3:25 (unknown but huge on LA's KROQ, #10 song of 2004) 12 "Best of You" - 4:16 (#1) 13 "DOA" - 4:12 (#1) 14 "No Way Back" - 3:17 (#2) 15 "The Pretender" – 4:29 (#1) 16 "Long Road to Ruin" – 3:44 (#1) 17 "Let It Die" – 4:05 (#1) 18 "Everlong" (acoustic) - 4:11 (unknown but huge on LA's KROQ) 19 "Wheels" 20 (New Song 2)
Total Tracklength: 70 minutes, not including "Wheels" and (New Song 2) which I assume will total under 10 minutes long to fit perfect on an 80 minute album.
some omitted singles that could replace either Darling Nikki (no Prince permission) or Everlong (acoustic): "Walking After You" – 5:03 (#12) "Stacked Actors" – 4:17 (#25) "Next Year" – 4:37 (#17) "The One" - 2:44 (#14) "Low" – 4:28 (#15)

Exhausted was their first promotional single release, which is not the same as a radio single. This Is A Call was the first single actually pushed to radio stations for the album.

I'm almost sure this won't go much higher than #10 on Alternative and will probably just peak in the mid teens on Active.
Reasons? Well, this is just a single from a Greatest Hits compilation, and it's far from being the typical Foo Fighters' single, that radio always devour.

I haven't heard it in good quality but I will say this from what I've heard........it sounds like a Tom Petty song. Which for me is okay because I love Tom Petty and it sounds like something from the late 80's early 90's sound. I'm quite alright with this NOT being another "Foo Fighters" sounding song. Mostly because I wasn't a big fan of The Pretender anyway, so its nice to move away from that for the GH single. Most fans who want the rocking Foo sound will be disappointed.

Hence the word Technical... so we're on the same page!

Just for the record Gaz, since you're new, we are pretty much always referring to radio singles on this board.
