92. Foo fighters - "But Here We Are"

I know, I know, I know. I have regularly sneered at the Foo Fighters and called them Rock music for people who don’t like Rock Music. However, this is a mature and self-aware record that is not afraid to show its wounds. It is their first post Taylor Hawkins release and as such this is an emotionally raw release that is happy to wallow in its grief.

But it is not maudlin, instead, it looks for hope in the heartbreak. Frank, honest, fragile and beautifully rendered, by airing their insecurities the Foo Fighters manage to create an exemplary treaty on loss.
