Foo Fighters/Awesome

Foo Fighters guarantee several Crowning Songs of Awesome per album.

Foo Fighters

 * This album earns a Moment of Awesome for being written and recorded completely by Dave Grohl.
 * "This Is A Call"
 * "Big Me", with Mentos parody video. Footos, the Fresh Fighter.
 * "X-Static".

The Colour and the Shape

 * "Monkey Wrench". Also note the "Big Me" elevator music at the beginning of the video.
 * "My Poor Brain" was written specifically to make people jump up and down to the song.
 * "My Hero"
 * "Everlong" with it insane video by Michel Gondry.
 * Especially epic when the first Rock Band 2 trailer came out and Foo Fighters floods the eardrums.
 * Check out the acoustic version of "Everlong" that Grohl did on his own. It turns down the volume but cranks the awesome up to eleven.
 * BUT THERE NEVER SEEMS TO BE ENOUGH SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCEE!!
 * Really, all of The Colour and the Shape counts as this.

There Is Nothing Left to Lose

 * "Stacked Actors" isn't the best song on the album, but when Dave plays a drum solo with Taylor, it becomes 200% cooler.
 * Oh, isn't it now?
 * "Breakout", written for a strange Jim Carrey movie.
 * "Learn to Fly" and its hilarious video. Note the Everlong elevator music and Tenacious D cameo.
 * "Next Year"
 * "M.I.A" is a brilliant closer.

One by One

 * The band has said that if a concert is feeling lackluster, playing "All My Life" will make it all better.
 * "Times Like These", you learn to live again.
 * "Tired of You", which even has Brian May on guitar in an uncharacteristic Tear Jerker song. Needs More Love.

In Your Honor

 * It's hard to pick the best songs out of the Distinct Double Album, so just listen to it yourself. Here's a taster.
 * "Best of You". Especially when watching this AMV.
 * This one is clearly THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST...
 * No one's getting out of here alive!

Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace

 * "The Pretender", the obvious choice.
 * "Long Road to Ruin"
 * "But, Honestly", also Needs More Love.
 * "Once and For All", sadly only a bonus track.
 * Stranger things have happened, I know.

Wasting Light

 * "Bridge Burning"
 * "Rope"
 * "White Limo"
 * "Arlandria"
 * "These Days"
 * "I Should Have Known", featuring Bob Mould and Krist Novoselic.
 * "Walk", featured in Thor.
 * The sheer fact that this album won the Best Rock Album Grammy, as it was recorded in Dave's garage and edited with older editing techniques.
