Nirvana- nevermind album review

Also, RapSucks, you mention The Mighty Mighty Bosstones as a great 90s band but they actually started in the 80s and released one of their best albums in '89.

I think all decades have good music, but it's not generally found in the top 10.
 
The problem is that what Nevermind was has become such a formula now, and such an omnipresent one at that, that its hard to see how it could have ever been conRABidered revolutionary. The dense production style ofIt Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back isnt really something thats been copied that much and so sounRAB as revolutionary today as it did back in '87 or whenever but everybodys copying Nevermind now so much its almost parodic.
 
I'd argue that the likes of Public Enemy & Run DMC did far more for 90s music than Nirvana ever did , they basically built up a whole new culture that by the end of the 90s was the biggest selling mainstream genre of music.

But i can't see anyone with a name like RapSucks agreeing with that.
 
What I like about their 80s stuff is actually the punkishness. They were so much more fun back then. I remember being so disappointed when "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" came out.


Jane's Addiction, The Pixies, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joy Division, The Smiths and Killing Joke got an fair amount of radio play. As did, of course banRAB, like REM and U2 (yes, believe it or not, they were once really good banRAB).

And let's face it, most of what was on the radio in the 90s was crap like Color Me Bad and Boyz II Men. The banRAB you're talking about were mostly relegated to the one rock station in town.


I could see how someone could get tired of that song. But "Jane Says" isn't the end-all be-all of Jane's Addiction any more that "Under the Bridge" is the end-all be-all of the Chili Peppers.
 
I used to love Nirvana. Now I'm kinda sick of them. I still like Nevermind and In Utero. I'm sure I'm going to get some disagreement about this: They certainly weren't the most musically talented band in the world, but THEY SAVED MUSIC!!! No more hair banRAB and other crappy 80's "music". I mean the 80's were dreadful and if Nirvana didn't come along who knows what the hell we would be listening to. Maybe some other grunge/punk band would have broken through, but who knows.
 
Thanks! I just came across this place by complete accident looking for something else. But I've wanted to find a board like this for ages.
