Having spent his teenage years in hard working but little known punk bands, Dave Grohl's first exposure to popular attention in the world of music was as the drummer for Nirvana, one of the most influential bands of TheNineties. However, Nirvana disbanded after the death of frontman Music/KurtCobain. Grohl, knowing his perception in the public's mind as [[OvershadowedByAwesome just another drummer]], decided to start his own band, the Foo Fighters, and is the creative force behind their output; basically every single noise on their first album was him, whether it was made by drums, guitar, bass or voice. He did not intend Music/FooFighters to be a long term project and is on record stating that if he'd known it was going to last, he'd have chosen a better name. Nonetheless, that sub-optimally named band is still going strong after more than one and a half decades. But Dave Grohl is also ''very'' busy with other stuff as well; while the discography below is somewhat exaggerated, it's not joking about how much he's in demand. Certain snarkers have even joked that the ''RockBand'' video games should be retitled "Dave Grohl Band," considering that he is or has been involved in at least ''six'' of the contributing acts (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, Nine Inch Nails, Tenacious D), which is more than basically everyone else on the planet.
