Greatest Hits

Greatest Hits is a compilation album released by American rock band the Foo Fighters on November 3, 2009.

Lead singer Dave Grohl has stated his displeasure with the release of a greatest hits, stating he would have preferred to wait until after the band had retired. The band’s label had been wanting to release a compilation album for four years, and exercised a clause in the band’s contract that allowed them to do so

Grohl wrote: These 16 songs are what we’re calling our “Greatest Hits.” Not to be confused with “Our Best Songs” or “Our Favorite Songs,” it is a collection of the songs that have defined our band’s identity to most people over the years.
