80. 'The Colour And The Shape' - Foo Fighters (1997)

Following the success of the eponymous, grunge inspired debut album, Dave Grohl recruited Pat Smear and Nate Mendel to join the Foo Fighters and help him write the next record. Also enlisting producer Gil Norton to infuse some pop sensibilities into the album, 1997’s ‘The Colour And The Shape’ would go on to be one of the definitive post-grunge albums - bridging that gap between the distorted, heavy, dark characteristics of grunge and the anthemic, accessible, softer side of Rock..
