## Summary

Dave Grohl named three albums he believes every music fan should hear: The Beatles’ *Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band*, AC/DC’s *Back in Black* and the *Saturday Night Fever* soundtrack. The Foo Fighters frontman shared the choices during a 2020 BBC Breakfast interview about records that could form the basis of a musical education.

Grohl said *Sgt. Pepper’s* still connects with listeners as it did when it was released in 1967, and described *Back in Black* as essential listening for aspiring drummers. Released in 1980, the AC/DC album is known for Phil Rudd’s drumming and is among the best-selling records of all time. Grohl said *Saturday Night Fever* could make any day feel like Saturday night.
