Almost any song on wasting light, specifically Dear Rosemary and Arlandria
Also But Here We Are and Hey, Johnny Park! (not REALLY underrated but that opening riff makes me feel a certain way)
That would be a dream. I remember there was speculation of them opening with it at the Taylor Hawkins tribute. It would have been the first time in 12 (now 14) years
I feel like a lot of the self-titled album has been overlook other than This Is A Call and Big Me, but I’ve always said that Good Grief is one of my favorite deep cuts of theirs and I’m glad people agree
Also, don't forget that Petrol C.B by Late! (Which is Dave's solo band before Foo Fighters. If you want the whole album, it's called Pocketwatch.) is the predecessor to Weenie Beenie lol

EDIT: not sure if it counts, but all the covers they did over the years were usually better than the original. Baker street, have a cigar, kids in America, let there be rock, etc.
Live-in skin. When I started to get into Aurora, I would also listen to Live-in skin as it’s played right afterwards. Now it’s one of my main go-to songs recently.
Was scrolling to see if someone would put this up. My absolute favourite. Whenever I get drunk I inevitably start talking about how good the Godzilla sound track is.
“See You”
I know it’s on the same album, but I think because of its relation to Everlong, Monkey Wrench, and My Hero, it could be easy to look over the rest of the album.
Outside of TCATS, I’d say In Your Honor’s “Free Me”. A screaming, face melting waltz you could bang your head to.

There are so many man, even the ones on the eps (the numbers like 00020225) and on their whole discography. If you had to ask me that, I would just show you, not even tell you
The deepest blues are black. A lot of in your honor is hardly played because best of you was such a hit but there are tons of good tracks on that record.
Enough Space. Sleeper hit for those unfamiliar, to be sure. Honestly, there's a ton of 'hidden' gems in their catalog, but I always thought Enough Space was one that never got enough praise.
I used to love their early B-sides and the songs they contributed to 90s soundtracks. A320, Fraternity, Dear Lover, their covers of Down in the Park and Baker Street...
And if you wanna go REALLY deep, Dave's song "Touch" co-written with Louise Post for the movie of the same name.
The entirety of There Is Nothing Left To Lose, for sure
Arrrrrrrrr yeah. Headwires is just wonderful. In fact it’s like an under played Everlong.
Love that song, generator too is a banger
Yes. Absolutely love that tune. Excellent use of a talk box. Flawless album
Generator!!! Other than Everlong, I’ve never been pulled into a song so fast.
Not underrated by any of the people who care.
Amen
I remember a few years ago saying TINLTL was your favorite album would get you downvoted in this sub. Glad tastes have changed.
Absolutely!
Almost any song on wasting light, specifically Dear Rosemary and Arlandria Also But Here We Are and Hey, Johnny Park! (not REALLY underrated but that opening riff makes me feel a certain way)
Arlandia 100%
You and what army?
Arlandria.
Dear Rosemary and Arlandria are two of my favorite Foo songs
Arlandria is one of my favs
Stranger Things Have Happened
For sure most underrated song of the foos
Oh yes!
Always loved that one
I Am A River has a great build up and needs more love
Something from Nothing
Congregation. Change my mind.
That whole album is underrated. Feast and The Famine also slaps
Statues
Headwires
In your honor. Watch a video of when they used to open a show with that. holy shit.
Excellent opening song.
I would love for them to go back to that as an opener
That would be a dream. I remember there was speculation of them opening with it at the Taylor Hawkins tribute. It would have been the first time in 12 (now 14) years
Live-In-Skin
Haha funny that you also love Aurora!
That one is so good dude
Long Road to Ruin

Good Grief
For sure!
I feel like a lot of the self-titled album has been overlook other than This Is A Call and Big Me, but I’ve always said that Good Grief is one of my favorite deep cuts of theirs and I’m glad people agree
Good Grief, Floaty, X-Static, For All The Cows, AND Exhausted all on one album? That's pretty looked over, I agree lmao
Don’t forget Weenie Beenie, aka the original White Limo.
Also, don't forget that Petrol C.B by Late! (Which is Dave's solo band before Foo Fighters. If you want the whole album, it's called Pocketwatch.) is the predecessor to Weenie Beenie lol
Halo
So good
God only knows
Come Alive
Disenchanted lullaby
Exhausted
Sean EDIT: not sure if it counts, but all the covers they did over the years were usually better than the original. Baker street, have a cigar, kids in America, let there be rock, etc.
Their cover of Baker Street is great! So is Band On The Run
I agree!!!
Their cover of Gary Numan’s Down in the Park is perfection
I adore Have a Cigar!
Waiting On A War , not just underrated but in fact hated on by many
My Poor Brain
I agree with many mentioned here and have to add What if I Do. Such a beautiful song....
Low
Low
Let it die, every song on Sonic Highways….
Dirty Water
Normal I'm ashamed to admit that I was a fan of the band for like 14 years before I knew it even *existed*, but it's become a favorite.
I love that song so much.
I LOVE New Way Home on TCATS.
Generator. One of the best they’ve ever written.
I got a few - Hey Johnny Park, February Stars, Over and Out, Tired of You, Oh George
I think The Pretender is one of the best rock songs ever produced.
I agree, but it’s not underrated
Halo and My Way Home. Those are the two I seem to really love that draws blank stares from others that aren’t uberfans
Love Halo as well!
After doing our vows, my and the new wife walk back up the aisle to Halo
Outside
I really like X-Static
cheer up boys!
Have It All. Deepest Blues Are Black. Disenchanted Lullaby. The Sign
Arlandria and St.Cecilia
Saint Cecelia
Friend of a friend.
Walking After You (X-files version)
But, Honestly is definitely one of the most underrated
Overdrive
Generator
For me The Sky is a Neighbourhood. No idea why. I just love it
I should have known
T-shirt!
No Way Back Congregation Outside Come Alive Saint Cecilia
Live-in skin. When I started to get into Aurora, I would also listen to Live-in skin as it’s played right afterwards. Now it’s one of my main go-to songs recently.
Halo
M.i.A
White Limo
Way harder than the normal songs the do and I love it.
Something from Nothing
Have It All. Arlandria. If Ever.
Lonely as You , Generator , For All the Cows , Hey Johnny Park
Something From Nothing I don’t think gets enough love it sounds so good and the lyrics and vocals are so good
Razor
I love Sunday Rain so damn much
The most underrated has got to be The Neverending Sigh
Friend Of A Friend, X-Static, Low
Aurora
T-Shirt. The first time I listened it scared the crap out of me. Never forget.
Home and Summer’s End
I love that headwires is appearing in this thread a lot. Love that song

Have It All
Up in arms
Gimme Stitches
A320
Yes! From the Godzilla soundtrack
Such a good song. And one not a lot of Foo fans know.
Fun fact it can’t be legally streamed, only available on the soundtrack sadly (and YouTube)

DOA, I know it was a single but I never see anyone talking about it
Walk
deepest blues are black‼️
Make it Right from Concrete & Gold
February Stars
Definitely Outside. The guitar and vocals keep passing the rhythm back and forth, and everyone I hear it I get goosebumps.
Wheels
Wheels
Pretty much any of their songs that aren't played on the radio tbh
A matter of time, miss the misery,I should have know,generator, sunday rain,outside,come back.
"The Sign" and "Soldier"
End over End, End over End, End over End, End over End, End over End
I’m circling 🙃
End Over End. Not just musically but lyrically, it's really good.
Headwires is awesome
X-Static
The one,normal,ozone,iron and stone,spill,hearing voices,show me how,beyond me,my poor Brain,enough space,la Dee da,happy ever after,come alive,cheer up boys,summers end,statues,home,alone+easy target,for all the cows,in your honor,no way back,the last song,free me,still,friend of a friend,on the mend,cold day in the sun,making a fire,medicine at midnight,have it all,halo,lonely as you,overdrive,walking a line,life of illusion,Danny says,live in skin,headwires,arlandrea,savior breath,the neverending sigh
Halo, and End over End
Doll. Such a great opener to their best album
There are so many man, even the ones on the eps (the numbers like 00020225) and on their whole discography. If you had to ask me that, I would just show you, not even tell you
Good Grief and Exhausted
Weenie beenie
Good Grief, Hey! Johnny Park, and Arlandria for sure. I’m glad that I got to see them perform Arlandria live
Winnebago
X Static because it’s so fuckin good Zero Hour because it’s a delicious little tune
Generator, good grief and wheels
DOA. It has a music video and barely gets played live anymore
Maybe it's too soon to say this one is underrated, but I'll just say I love Bridge Burning. That and Come Alive.
The deepest blues are black. A lot of in your honor is hardly played because best of you was such a hit but there are tons of good tracks on that record.
Normal, it's my favourite song and always hits me in the feels
Any deep cuts on wasting light and I’ll throw in the deepest blues are black from IYH. my favorites of theirs are basically all deep cuts
I love White Limo
Ain’t it the life
Doll
Resolve
“Come Alive” has a sick breakdown
Enough Space. Sleeper hit for those unfamiliar, to be sure. Honestly, there's a ton of 'hidden' gems in their catalog, but I always thought Enough Space was one that never got enough praise.
In Your Fucking Honor. Best. Opening. Song. Ever. (All My Life and The Pretender are piles of shit compared to it.) Edit: oh yeah, A320 too
X-static
Skin and Bones
Winnebago for sure
Something from nothing 100%
Butterflies
In my personal opinion, Exhausted off the end of the first foos album.
I used to love their early B-sides and the songs they contributed to 90s soundtracks. A320, Fraternity, Dear Lover, their covers of Down in the Park and Baker Street... And if you wanna go REALLY deep, Dave's song "Touch" co-written with Louise Post for the movie of the same name.
Everything is underrated. Everlong is criminally underrated. It’s so underrated I think they should end every show with it.
Hey, I know that is off topic but check this Peruvian tribute https://youtu.be/Qo7cFecw1SI?si=5MvgxwSOTjcY-5nE
Definitely “Next Year”
Burn Away
Something from Nothing
I should have known.
A320
