Paul McCartney To Induct Foo Fighters Into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame | ROCK SQUAD - Episode 26

Paul McCartney will induct the Foo Fighters into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the upcoming ceremony, a pairing that makes perfect sense given the long friendship between McCartney and Dave Grohl. The Beatles legend has collaborated with Grohl multiple times over the years, including playing drums on a track from the Foo Fighters' 2017 album Concrete and Gold and working together on the Sound City documentary project. As one host put it, "Who doesn't want to be inducted by a Beatle? That's the highest honor." The hosts acknowledge the perennial Rock Hall controversy about who gets in and when, but they argue the Foo Fighters are clearly deserving: over 26 years, they have become "the biggest band in the world" among working modern rock acts, a claim few others can match. The discussion also spirals into a familiar complaint about artists not yet inducted — Oasis, Judas Priest, Soundgarden, Motörhead, Pantera, and many others — but the hosts ultimately land on the view that this year's induction is a rightful recognition.
