Foo FightersFoo Fighters were formed in Seattle in 1994 by Dave Grohl, the former drummer of Nirvana. Grohl wanted to remain anonymous and recorded the debut album Foo Fighters by himself, playing all instruments and parts. The album features popular singles such as “Big Me” and “This is a Call”. He subsequently recruited other members to officially join the band and tour.
They recorded their second album in 1996, The Colour and the Shape, and also recruited drummer Taylor Hawkins, who would become a significant contributor to the band. The album included several popular singles including “Everlong” and “Monkey Wrench”. In 1999, they released There is Nothing Left to Lose with their first chart hit “Learn to Fly”, along with “Breakout”. Their tours grew bigger over the years and they are known as an arena and stadium rock band. In 2015 while on tour, Grohl fell off the stage and broke his leg. The tour continued, rebranded The Broken Leg Tour, with Grohl performing on a custom made moveable throne.
Concrete and Gold, released in 2017, reached #1 in the US, their second album to do so. They’ve received a large number of awards including a Grammy for the video “Learn to Fly”, 4 Grammys for Best Rock Album and 3 Grammys for Best Hard Rock Performance, They’ve won numerous MTV awards and were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, their first year of eligibility. In 2022, drummer Taylor Hawkins died while on tour and the future of the band is uncertain.

FleetwoodFormed in 1967, Fleetwood Mac is a rock band consisting of both British and American members, led by drummer Mick Fleetwood. They had several initial hits off their early albums, including “Albatross” , “Oh Well”, and “Man of the World”. By 1974, a few key members had left the band but were joined by new members Lindsey Buckingham (guitar) and Stevie Nicks (vocals), leading them to a more pop-rock sound and international success. They released the album Fleetwood Mac in 1975 and it reached #1 in the US.
The 1977 release Rumours would become their most successful album and one of the best-selling in history, with over 40 million units sold. The album contains four #1 hits: “Dreams”, “Don’t Stop”, “Go Your Own Way” and “You Make Loving Fun”. The rest of the album would get significant airplay and earn them a Grammy for Album of the Year. Rumours is 8th on the best-selling albums worldwide. Their follow-up album was Tusk, a double record with three top 20 hits: “Tusk”, “Sara” and “Think About Me”.
By the late 1980’s, the band started to crumble with a rotating lineup of band members. In 1997, they released The Dance, a live greatest hits compilation, which became their fourth #1 album. They’ve sold over 120 million records, have a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and have been nominated for and won several Grammys, AMA and Brit Awards.
