What is Foo Fighters' 2009 compilation album called?

The story behind the answer

Foo Fighters’ 2009 compilation album is called Greatest Hits. Released on November 3, 2009, it collects major songs from the band’s first decade and a half, spanning recordings made between 1994 and 2009.

The album includes signature tracks such as “This Is a Call,” “Everlong,” “Learn to Fly,” “All My Life,” “Times Like These,” “Best of You,” and “The Pretender.” It also features two newly recorded songs: “Wheels” and “Word Forward.”

Greatest Hits arrived between Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, released in 2007, and Wasting Light, released in 2011. The compilation therefore serves as a career snapshot of the band’s early and mid-period work rather than a collection covering its entire history.

The title can be confused with later Foo Fighters releases such as Medium Rare, a rarities collection, or Songs from the Laundry Room, an Record Store Day EP. Neither is the band’s 2009 greatest-hits compilation.
