Foo Fighters Reveal "Greatest Hits" Track List

The Foo Fighters have revealed the track list for their November 3rd best-of collection, fittingly titled Greatest Hits. As Rolling Stone previously reported, Greatest Hits will boast a pair of Butch Vig-produced new tracks, "Word Forward" and new single "Wheels," which will receive the music video treatment from Sam Brown, director of their clip for "The Pretender." All of the six-time Grammy-winning group's hits are represented, from "This is a Call" to "Everlong" to "My Hero" to "Best of You."

In addition to the standard version of the collection, the deluxe edition will be accompanied with a bonus DVD featuring a select Foo videography (including the "Wheels" vid), live footage from the band's concerts at Wembley Stadium, Hyde Park and the Skin + Bones theater tour and possibly a few more Easter eggs hidden throughout. The deluxe will also house a 28-page book with never-before-seen photos of the band throughout their 15-year history.

Frontman Dave Grohl has also spent the past months back behind the drums with the newest rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures, also featuring Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones. Grohl is also embroiled in a little bit of controversy regarding his old band and a certain video game.

"All My Life"
"Best Of You"
"Everlong"
"The Pretender"
"My Hero"
"Learn To Fly"

“Push It”

Salt-N-Pepa | 1987

Originating as a B side to their cover of the Stax classic “Tramp,” Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandi “Pepa” Denton and Dee Dee “DJ Spinderella” Roper came up with the goods on this career-making, Grammy-nominated platinum single about working it on the dancefloor. “Push It” has been sampled and spliced to death since it debuted in 1987, yet the original track is as fresh and fly as when SNP — among the few original women of hip-hop — debuted it. “Most men will never believe ‘Push It’ was never about sex,” said James. “And that’s why the record went to Number One,” said Denton. “Everybody thought it was about sex.”
