Let's get this sorted: I LIKE Nirvana.
But I believe that they were not the best Grunge/Alt Rock act of the 90's by far. I don't believe Mr Kurt's shotgun helped this, I think they were just chosen by the public and record companies thrust them into the limelight. I also don't believe that they deserved this honour really, because if we actually look at Nevermind, the album is weak. It starts of with a unbelieveable greatness (The First 6 songs are good) but then it disapears into demo hell, with Territorial Pissings & Lounge Act.
There were better bands at the same time, like The Smashing Pumpkins & Throwing Muses. Hell, even Belly & Soundgarden were better.
At a push, even Ms Cobain's (Courtney Love) band was better, in that they made better albums. Nirvana couldn'tr sustain the same quality over a LP like them, but they could write pretty good Pixies copies (Smells Like Teen Spirit)
They're good, but not that good.

They're great, but yes, a little over-played.
~Keep it gooey~
They're THE BEST?I don't wanna hear bad words for them because I......... :hot:
I've got all their albums. I love them. Cobain was a musical genius, if ever their was one. May he rest in peace. Not overrated.
I suppose you're talking about the Live Through This album.Quote:

He might have changed the face of music for good and he might have been a musical genius, but he's not that good. The only reason most people (That weren't born then) buy nirvana albums now is because of the legendary Dave GrohlQuote:

kurt's suicide is not the reason nirvana are or were huge. nirvana were huge. at the time they were THE thing. stupidly-successful and this was all before kurt got a nasty habit and blew his brains out.
if nirvana are big because kurt died then the beatles are big because lenno got stabbed.
the are big because they are one of these bands that have the power to last.
Nirvana are overratted. Alice in Chains/Pearl Jam/Soundgarden > Nirvana.
the thing with nirvana was also not the music. it was the culture. it was a big thing. it changed alot of how people thought about various stuff. it was thei first time that those people had came to the fore-front of public attention. it shaped many many things afterwards. it also did change alot of music. many tracks nowadays you can pick out bits and pieces were you think "stole from nirvana" "sounds like nirvana". etc.
but the music went beyond the music.
I like them, but I liked Alice in Chains more.
They were a little overrated, but not HUGELY
