You've been trapped on your desert island for a year now, keeping the native foo at bay with a song from the earlier thread, but the foo are now evolving, and you are forced to take to the highland and resort to a song from the Foo Fighters second career phase, a period beginning with 1999's There Is Nothing Left to Lose through part of 2003's One by One. "It's a good thing this band is so prolific," you think, "as I may be looking at a long stint on this island."

Please pick one of these seven tracks or a contemporary one, but don't pick "Low" or "Have It All" because those are in Poll III.

I want to vote for all of these, but I went with "All My Life."

Fooey to 3 DIMT polls for one artist.

I will go with "Next Year"

Next Year - the theme song for one of the most underrated shows ever.

I've learned that I'm not familiar with most of the songs in both of these lists. Perhaps I've never had any Foo to fight?

There's a lot of similar-status titles. I didn't know what else to do with the Foo. Winners will enter a champions bracket.

I'm a "Learn to Fly" man. If anybody else had come out with that, it would have been a hit, but a disposable one. But a song of hope from a grunge veteran about pulling back on the stick as you're about to nose dive into a mountain sort of helped save rock from itself — from the idea that the only authentic path left in rock was Cobain's.

Re: How Do You Fight Your Foo? PART II

I get the "Learn to Fly" point you're making; it feels a little more heartfelt than it probably should, absent context.

But, yeah, the father-of-a-daughter sap in me can't get past big, gooey "Next Year."
