Foo Fighters in MRSOTY

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed by Dave Grohl in Seattle, Washington in 1994. Grohl originally started the band as a one-man project where he would play all instruments and write all songs as a coping method after his friend and bandmate Kurt Cobain's suicide. The band's current lineup consists of Dave Grohl on guitar and lead vocals, Pat Smear on guitar, Chris Shiflett on guitar, Nate Mendel on bass, Taylor Hawkins on drums, and Rami Jaffee on keyboards. The band has made ten studio albums, five live albums, three compilation albums, six video albums, fifty-five music videos, ten EPs, and fifty-seven singles.

Foo Fighters have been featured five times in MRSOTY, appearing in: 1997, 1999, 2007, 2011, and 2014. The band has won once, in 1997, which currently holds the record for most points for any song, breaking the record set previously by Radiohead's Just in 1995.
