Using Grammys as proof of a bands excellence is ridiculous, sorry. You lose.

Same goes for the #1 hits. Fucking Timberlake had a #1 hit for 7 weeks with "Bringing Sexy Back". Christ.

But lets go to the Rock list:

"What I've Done" Linkin Park #1 for 15 weeks.

Or if you actually want to be serious about it.
RHCP #1 Hits
1993 Soul to Squeeze - 5 weeks
1995 My Friends - 4 weeks.
1999 Scar Tisue - 16 weeks.
2000 Otherside - 13 weeks.
2000 Californication - 1 week.
2002 By The Way - 14 weeks.
2003 Can't Stop - 3 weeks.
2006 Dani California - 14 weeks.
2006 Tell Me Baby - 4 weeks.
2007 Snow ((Hey Oh)) - 5 weeks.

And the sad thing? None of those songs represent their best stuff. Oh, and they won 8 MVAs and 6 Grammy's, but those are irrelevant.

 

[sandorski]

I like them both. "Best" is a fools pursuit.

 

[LS20]

foo fighters defy physics.. they blow and they suck

 

[Anubis]

RHCP by the entire length of the track

im really amazed that Under The Bridge wasent a #1 hit, it was really popular at the time it came out and is a badass song

 

[cKGunslinger]

Both are good bands. I personally enjoy FF more, but it's not as if we're comparing Eric Clapton to Fred Durst here - it's entirely subjective.

 

[Electric Amish]

I hate both, but probably hate RHCP more just because I can identify their songs more easily.

 

[Injury]

Why can't we love both equally?

 

[Fingolfin269]

I hate RHCP and love Foo Fighters. I used to be a huge RHCP fan in the mid-90s but I just can't listen to it anymore.

Foo Fighters.

 

[Spineshank]

Early Foo Fighters was good, the last few albums have blown.

x2 :thumbsup:

 

[SpunkyJones]

I like both bands, but I would have to go with the Foo, I listen to them much more often than the Peppers.

 

[nakedfrog]

To the best of my knowledge, Foo Fighters didn't decide to start putting out crappy album in the late 90s. That means they win.

No, no they weren't. Pretty much any song from BSSM or OHM is far better.
