Sad to see No Way Back go. Top three song on my list.
To me it is the quintessential Foos: kick-the-doors-in punk energy; edgy, hard rock precision; and irresistable but never pandering pop hooks.
 
I love the song, hurt to vote for it. Agree with you completely. One of the more inspired songs on IYH.

I'm also sad to see Times Like These go. I think they wrote the perfect pop song with that, yet it's got a really strange form for a pop song. Part of it almost seems like an ode to Rush. The main melody is in an odd time signature, 7/4, which is the same time as many of the riffs on Rush's radio favorites including Tom Sawyer, Freewill, and Limelight. There's also some moog synth there, which isn't common in Foo Fighters at all, but is common for Rush, of course. Another weird thing about it, is the chorus. It's a 3 bar phrase, instead of the standard 4 bar phrase. But all that aside, it's still a great song. I was really hoping for it to be in the top ten.

Top ten has begun! 3 votes only now
 
My Hero
Learn To Fly
Let It Die

A strong top ten. Nothing blasphemous, every song is deserving.

*glares at Rush survivor*
 
And I guess that was dumb since I created a tie.
I should have voted just My Hero and we could have moved on.
 
Well then, if that's your choice I'll skip the tiebreaker round and eliminate My Hero. If that's what you would vote for
 
Well alright then. It makes no sense to do a tiebreaker round if we already know how the results will be.
 
I only know the band from their frequent TV appearances when I was still "into" MTV. So the songs from the first two should ring the most bells.

edit:
Time traveling now -> listening to the debut and I love those first two songs.
edit 2:
From the second album songs that are left in this poll I prefer My Hero and Everlong (not a fan of Monkey Wrench).
