Nirvana- nevermind album review

But would you take grunge and the rise of alternative metal over punk, postpunk, hardcore, grindcore, thrash, death metal, industrial, goth and the rise of noise?
 
True and did Nirvana influence them? No. Just like The Beatles didn't influence Disco. I said, in my opinion Nirvana saved music, and what I meant by that is they gave me something to listen to. Not rid the world of bad music. And man am glad I didn't have to listen to Boyz II Men.
 
Actually I think one could make an argument that The Beatles were a pretty big influence on the Bee Gees. Similarly, Niravana influenced assorted 90s pop crap like Alanis Morissett.


Well, I'm glad they gave you something good to listen to. They weren't a bad band just, from my perspective at the time, not anything particularly new. There were already plenty of good rock banRAB around at the time. All that happened when Nirvana became big was that all the jocks in my school stopped listening to hair metal and started listening to grunge. No biggie one way or the other for me. The people who were big musicheaRAB just continued listening to the same stuff we were already listening to.


Heh-heh. That's because, unlike me, you weren't in high school in the early 90s. :)
 
Much prefer BLEACH to NEVERMIND and don't rate IN UTERO much at all. BLEACH had the essence of what grunge was about, and it sound's amazing considering it's zero budget production (well $600).

I have always felt that NIRVANA were the wrong band at the right time, I like a lot of their stuff but it barely registers in my top 100.
 
Sorry but I disagree about RHCP. I guess I'm not funky enough.

Also, I wasn't listening to the radio in the 80's because I was under 6 years old, but how many of those banRAB got radio play? I'm talking about mainstream music, that's what Nevermind was and what it primarily affected. (Although underground punk would not be as popular today if Nirvana didn't come along.) Underground music is a whole different issue.

And if I hear "Jane Says" one more time in my life I may kill myself!!! Definitely one of the worst (most annoying) songs I've ever heard.
 
I have Devil's Night Out and love it. Again, Mainstream vs. Underground!!! I don't want to give the impression that I only listen to radio music because I don't, but Nirvana was mainstream music and primarily affected mainstream music.
 
Well bleach is definitly not as well known however it includes a huge unique ness that nevermind or in utero ever had. however that sometimes takes away from the songwriting techniques. Some people try to be too unique and it end terribly.
 
Is this an attempt to run a newb off the boarRAB or do you really hate it that much?

"I hate this album. Really". I have a similar quote to that in my sig cos it's the way these boarRAB seem to be heading lately.

swim, you've been here ages and I expected a more interesting reason than the one you gave.
 
Just saying what chicks I know have told me.

It's not as if Tad Doyle is gonna become a poster boy for grunge anytime soon.

Shoegaze started in the 80s as did noise rock. But that's beside the point. I'm not trying to say the 90s were a bad decade for music, I'm just trying to say I don't think it was any better than the 80s. Both had amazing underground music, both had lame pop crap.


How is it a stretch? Alanis Morissette was a minor pop star who toured with Vanilla Ice, then grunge broke and she completely changed her sound to the "angsty" rock that she's now known for.
 
As far as grindcore, trash, and death metal go, I could do without them, but as has been said, we're talking about popular music here. Plus, the nineties gave us shoegaze, noise pop, math rock, trip-hop, the golden age of rap, post-rock, dark ambient, lots of noise rock, etc.



I'd say that's a stretch.
 
What the **** are you talking about? "Hair banRAB" are million times better than grunge and the ****ty mainstreamified Nirvana semi-worship Staind **** that followed. If anything Nirvana single handedly ruined music.
 
I wouldn't say Bleach is that unique, many grunge banRAB around that time had that sound. However i much prefer it to Nevermind, its far more raw.

In Utero is their finest album, and its criminal how it is celebrated less.
 
If i'm comparing music now to what it was like pre Nirvana I don't need to reference the 90s , You said they changed music YOU back it up. Mentioning a few stadium rock banRAB from the mid 90s proves nothing, If they changed music for the better NOW then please show me where.
