What's It Called?

What's The Story?
The Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl's radio-rock-hit manufacturing band who will appeal to just about anyone besides your grandparents. The original Baker Street was performed by Gerry Rafferty (of Stealer's Wheel) in 1978. This version appears on the My Hero single as a B-side.

Who's To Blame?
A talented drummer who eschews meat.

Why ♥ It?
This song is a perfect intersection between 00s rock and 70s rock, as Dave Grohl often achieves in his endeavors. The sincere verses are left mostly untouched in the cover, while the timeless saxophone lines and solo are replaced with with an effect-filled guitar. The further the track progresses, the more hard rock thrashing liberties the Foos take with the tune, and the result is a positive vibe that's worth a headbang or two.
