May 20, 1997: Foo Fighters release their sophomore album The Colour and the Shape and take their first real step toward global rock stardom.
Granted, Dave Grohl‘s self-recorded, self-produced debut Foo Fighters album was what put the band on the map. After all, when Nirvana’s drummer announces a new solo project, people tend to pay attention. But The Colour and the Shape marked the Foo’s debut as a band. And while there was a bit of start-and-stop to the process, the result is a second record that stands strong 25 years on.
