I'm a bit too old for the Foo Fighters to have been "music of my youth". I knew of "Times Like These" peripherally, but it really sunk in when I heard it on Glen Campbell's phenomenal modern covers album, "Meet Glen Campbell". I've always been a fan of his singing and guitar playing. I added this song to my favorite list, and find myself close to tears most times when I play it, whether in a piano bar or an online stream.
Glen continued to play concerts even in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease. His family said it was when he most came alive during those years. We saw a concert on that final tour. It was painful at times, but always glorious.
"Wichita Lineman" is an all-time favorite that I could play every day. Jimmy Webb's compositions especially hold the test of time (except for "MacArthur Park" <g>). This album also reintroduced me to some other great modern rock songs, like "Sing" and "Good Riddance'.

Yes, I also love that album. I also enjoy Glen's early stuff, he was a great guitar player!
