I think the Foo Fighters have made a career out of making songs that sound exactly like ‘Jesse’s Girl’.

Not a fan

I was getting ready to tell you how stupid that observation is... Then I started thinking of Foo Fighters songs... You kinda have a point. It may only be parts of songs, but many of them do have a lil Jesse's Girl in them. The only exceptions I could come up with were Wheels, which is a blatant Tom Petty rip off, and Best of You (I really don't hear it in that one)

For what it's worth, Jesse's Girl is a very well written, recorded, and produced pop rock song.

There’s a documentary which features Dave Grohl strolling down memory lane about a famous recording studio(Sun Studios?) that shut down. Many hits & hit albums were recorded in this studio, including one of Nirvana’s big albums ( could’ve been ‘Nevermind’, but I can’t remember). Springfield also recorded ‘Jesse’s Girl’ there. Grohl ends up purchasing the sound board & gathered several artists to record one last time. One of (Grohl’s) bandmates gets unusually ecstatic when he finds out that RS would be among those doing this last(?) recording session. I couldn’t figure out why he was sooooo happy to land RS. Then it downed on me, many of their hits sound exactly like ‘Jesse’s Girl’.

Dave Grohl > Kurt Cobain
