When Dave Grohl and Nate Mendel took over the curation for the May 2026 issue of MOJO, they didn’t just pick a few favorite songs—they built a bridge between the Foo Fighters’ legendary past and their 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy.
Foo.Fm functions as a 15-track “musical odyssey.” It’s a rare look behind the curtain at the records that fueled the band’s recent creative pivot back to their punk-rock roots.
The tracklist is a masterclass in balance, weaving together the “holy trinity” of their influences: legacy pioneers, contemporary heavyweights, and the new guard of alternative rock.
The compilation kicks off with a heavy nod to the underground. The inclusion of Hüsker Dü and Kim Gordon acts as a reminder…
Mojo Presents The Best of 2025 offers a carefully curated snapshot of a year that feels both restless and creatively rich. Compiled by the editors of MOJO, the CD brings together a diverse selection of tracks that reflect the magazine’s long-standing taste for depth, craft, and personality over hype.
Rather than chasing chart trends, the compilation highlights artists who shape the musical conversation in quieter but more lasting ways.
The tracklist moves fluidly between established names and emerging voices, blending indie, rock, folk, soul, and alternative textures into a cohesive listening experience. It plays less like a random playlist and more like a guided tour through the year’s most compelling sounds.
In an age dominated by algorithms…
…MOJO presents a bespoke CD of rare, live and previously unreleased songs from the mod icons, including storming live versions of ‘Whatcha Gonna Do About It’ and ‘Tin Soldier’, alternative takes, never-before-released tracks.
October 1965. ‘Whatcha Gonna Do About It’, the debut Small Faces single, is making its way up the UK charts. The four original members, only together for a few months, are learning how to be a band, and how to talk to the music press.
“We admire The Who,” bassist Ronnie Lane tells the NME’s Norrie Drummond, “but we have never tried to copy them in any way. We are Mods and appeal to mods, but that’s about all we have in common with them.”
Then Lane’s bandmate, drummer Kenney Jones…

It takes a Village to raise a child, goes the old saying; here’s the one that nurtured Bob Dylan so well.
A previously unheard Robert Plant song titled “47 Roses” was released on the CD that accompanies Mojo Magazine’s October 2025 issue.
The cover story for the magazine’s 383rd issue is an interview with Plant published ahead of the release of his new album Saving Grace on September 26. In the interview, Plant “regales us with classic tales and forthright views”, Mojo wrote in its announcement of the new issue.
The issue’s accompanying CD, titled Higher Rock, is a compilation of tracks from Plant’s solo career. It contains “47 Roses”, which seems to have been recorded for a planned sequel to Plant’s 2010 album Band of Joy.
The magazine reports that the track was “written with Buddy Miller and Marco Giovino”,…
