Musically, “The Pretender” follows a formula that Foo Fighters have mastered. The song also crossed over to alternative radio and became one of the Foo Fighters’ most recognizable hits worldwide. Over the years, “The Pretender” has remained a staple of Foo Fighters concerts, often serving as one of the loudest sing-along moments of the night. Nearly two decades after its release, “The Pretender” remains one of the defining rock songs of the 21st century.
