So sad....two versions of Everlong but they can't put "I'll Stick Around" on there. And really, they couldn't do more than 16?

I didn't like the tracklist too. WTH put two versions of Everlong? Acoustic? Ppl should buy Skin And Bones album to have Everlong acoustic, not a Greatest hits. Argh
I really miss Let It Die and DOA

Yep, the omissions of "I'll Stick Around" and "DOA" are very odd. Additionally, I don't think "Skin and Bones" adds much, and I'd been hoping for non-album hits like "The One" and "Darling Nikki." Oh well.

I can live without "DOA", but no "I'll Stick Around", "Long Road to Ruin", "Let It Die" and "No Way Back"? C'mon.

Some ridiculous omissions.
I believe a Greatest Hits compilation is supposed to contain the biggest hits.
How is it possible that "DOA", "No Way Back" and "Let It Die" aren't there?

Let It Die's omission reminds me of Can't Stop being left off RHCP's greatest hits even though both songs are huge hits and their most recent songs to reach #1 before the greatest hits' release, thus the most noticeable omissions even for the casual fans.
Wheels sounds pretty good and could be another #1 for them hopefully.

wow this is a great song! Better than "Let It Die" but not as good as "The Pretender" or "Long Road To Ruin"

Owning all 6 Foo Fighters studio albums, a greatest hits collection is of no use to me.
I'm sure it's just me, but every time I see this topic (for a song I haven't yet heard), I always think about this Brad Pitt line from Snatch: "Why the fuck do I want a caravan that's got no fucking wheels?" (11 seconds into this clip. After 20 seconds the whole thing turns into an overdubbed joke.)

WOW
This is such a great song, It's a little more radio friendly than their latest singles, just remind me Unwell by Matchbox 20.
Hope this can be #1 here!

Good song, I like this a lot, and the background vocals in the chorus do remind me of Tom Petty, which is a great thing.

I finally got around to listening to this. Not that I expected this to suck, but this is really freaking good! I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the Foos are one of my Top 10 favorite bands.
I'm really surprised by the Greatest Hits tracklisting and how many huge songs were left off on there, but I guess when you have so many big hits, you have to narrow it down or maybe they should have made it say twenty tracks. I don't know. I disagree with putting "Skin & Bones" on there. That wasn't anything most fans would remember if they had to name fifteen of their singles off of the top of their head.

I like this actually. I didn't think it would be this good being I don't usually like the add-in tracks on greatest hits albums xD *cough* Black Heart Inertia *cough*
But this one is pretty good.

I love "Black Heart Inertia". And that whole b-side album is full of hits. "Pantomime", "Neither Of Us Can See", "Admiration", "Martini".

This is a awesome tune. Is reminiscent of the mid ninties post-grunge sound that bands like Matchbox 20 and Tonic perfected. Classic Foos.
