The Foo Fighters had released 11 studio albums as of 2024. Their run began with Foo Fighters in 1995 and reached its eleventh studio release with But Here We Are in 2023.
The count includes only studio albums, not live recordings, compilations, EPs, or concert films. That distinction matters because Skin and Bones is a live album, while Greatest Hits and The Essential Foo Fighters are compilations. The band’s acoustic live release and other archival projects therefore do not increase the studio-album total.
The sequence includes major releases such as The Colour and the Shape, There Is Nothing Left to Lose, Wasting Light, and Concrete and Gold. But Here We Are followed the death of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins and was recorded with Dave Grohl performing the drum parts. It became the band’s eleventh studio album and the latest one available during 2024.
A common mistake is to count every album-length Foo Fighters release. For a fair quiz, the canonical answer at the end of 2024 is 11.
