In 1978, the “most beautiful piece of music” Dave Grohl ever heard was releasd

Dave Grohl has praised Andrew Gold’s 1978 song “Never Let Her Slip Away”, describing it as “the most beautiful piece of music ever written” and one of the most melodically sophisticated songs he had heard. The article says the track helped shape Grohl’s appreciation for polished, layered pop as he developed Foo Fighters after Nirvana.

Gold’s song was released in 1978 and is noted for its carefully built arrangement and melody. The article places it alongside the 1970s AM radio music that influenced Grohl, whose album *There Is Nothing Left to Lose* explored a lighter, more pop-oriented sound, while his side project Probot gave space to heavier influences.
