Monkey Wrench is the song that broke them into the mainstream. (And the song in the elevator is a Muzak'ed version of another of their hits.)

Everlong is the balladic stadium rock anthem.

My Hero is just a great rock song that a lot of people have been sharing since Taylor's death.

And there is a fascinating documentary about the Foo Fighters called Back and Forth, which is just a great story, whether you like the band or not. The guys in this band are not rock stars... they are just a buncha guys doing the best they know how, and being genuine and honest and down to earth... even when playing in front of 80,000 people.
