Dave Grohl<\/a> has never hidden his enthusiasm for other musicians. Rather than adhering to the unphased musician act, and abstaining from crediting his peers as equally as brilliant as him, you\u2019re likely to find him amongst other music fans, excitedly sharing his love for any given musician\u2019s work. <\/p>\n

When Grohl is grinning from ear to ear, talking about his next favourite band, it\u2019s almost easy to forget this man was the beating heart of two truly iconic bands. Be it sitting at the drum kit<\/a> for Nirvana\u2019s game-changing grunge discography or leading Foo Fighters into the immortal realms of stadium rock, Grohl has always had his finger on the pulse of greatness.<\/p>\n

But he\u2019s not afraid to share the recipe that got him there. No, he\u2019s regularly cited bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and H\u00fcsker D\u00fc<\/a> as the pillars of his influence, with a whole host of lesser-known musicians existing under that. In fact, it\u2019s a wonder anybody listens to his music at all, given just how eager he is to divert you to the work of others.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through that, he\u2019s rather unsurprisingly found himself in the studio or on stage with artists he admires. Seizing the opportunity to collaborate and applying his skills as a multi-instrumentalist, he\u2019s injected his own contribution to other musicians\u2019 projects. While some of the most notable would be sharing the stage with Led Zeppelin and laying down the drum tracks for Tenacious D<\/a>, there are more understated credits to his name.<\/p>\n

On Cat Power\u2019s 2003 album You Are Free, Grohl\u2019s work could be found in the rhythm sections of songs \u2018Speak For Me\u2019, \u2018He War\u2019, and \u2018Shaking Paper\u2019. His desire to be involved with the project came from a place of long-standing admiration, with one of Grohl\u2019s most treasured songs coming from her 1998 album Moon Pix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Grohl cited the track \u2018Cross Bones Style\u2019 as one of his favourites of all time, in a truly elaborate style in keeping with his persona. He said, \u201cThe first half of the mix-tape is foreplay. It\u2019s like meeting a stranger in a bar after you\u2019ve had one too many shots, and you want your first kiss to be crazy and passionate and sloppy, and then you kinda slow down and start to feel it. The sound of Chan Marshall\u2019s voice is the most satisfying orgasm I could possibly imagine.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s quite the description for a song that unveils its sensuality with delicacy rather than his self-prescribed sloppiness. But rather, oddly, you can understand exactly what Grohl means in terms of the track. But it isn\u2019t the only song from Moon Pix that he has an affinity for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also said, \u201cOne of the most beautiful songs I\u2019ve heard is Cat Power\u2019s \u2018The Colour And The Kids\u2019 from her album Moon Pix. That song is so heart-wrenchingly beautiful and romantic \u2013 it makes me want to kidnap her and run away and hide forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those who haven\u2019t listened to the record, Grohl\u2019s truly bizarre way of describing both songs that sits somewhere between the heartfelt and disturbed is actually as good an endorsement as any. Because it perfectly captures the beautiful intrigue that surrounds the record.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
