When we asked Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins to make us a Mixtape, he couldn't limit himself to mere songs, which makes sense, as he doesn't limit himself to mere percussion either – check out his side-project band's self-titled debut album, Taylor Hawkins & the Coattail Riders. Meanwhile, here's Hawkins' all-time Top 10 album list. Listen and learn.
