You found them on a fan blog with a black background and neon green text, hosted on a file-sharing site that required you to wait 60 seconds for a download link. Why it was great: It was the first

These blogs were the lifeblood of the Foo Fighters community. They documented the band's evolution from the self-titled debut (recorded entirely by Grohl) to the stadium-filling anthems of One by One. Blogspot pages were the digital liner notes for a generation that had lost the physical booklet.
