The first self-titled Foos album was released in June 1995, the first of 12 studio albums by the rockers. For the first time in their career, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, their first year of eligibility. The Beatles’ Paul McCartney was there to join Grohl and company.
