The Official Nirvana/Kurt Cobain Thread

Aye, Nevermind is a very overrated song :crazy:
But yeah, Nirvana are awesome, i will happily defend then whenever. My fav song at the mo is probably Swap Meet or their version of The Man Who Sold The World.
 
I agree with a lot of their choices, but I think that if they put friggin Smells Like Teen Spirit in there they should have put Lithium in there somewhere.

Paper Cuts is such a creepy song...glad to see that it got some love from them.
 
Why does that not surprise me?

And On topic.

Nirvana, not insanely talented yes. But like it or not, extremely well recieved and they did, in a way, revolutionize Grunge as a genre.

Saying a band sucks, means nothing. You may personally dislike them, but to go so far as to brand them is a waste of time.

I'm sure I probably think a lot of the banRAB you listen to aren't all that great, but respectively, they've all done their part for the Music industry. Be it large, like Nirvana, or small, like False Advertising (Sorry)
 
what can be "fake" about listening to nirvana? everyone knows them, past or present, everyone talks about them, past or present. their music is so easily accessible. nevermind, in utero, and unplugged are available at cheap prices at your local record stores or online. not to mention, mainstream radio still has numerous nirvana songs still in current rotation.

Kurt's been important to modern music yes, but he took all of his ideas from other banRAB and put them together. Quote Kurt: 'I wanted to make a band that was like The Beatles and Black Sabbath put together'. He's been important, but he didn't invent anything new. He was following a grunge trend at the time born in his home state.

Influential, yes.
As important as Beethoven, not really.
Bach has been even more important to modern music. (inventor of the 1-3-4, 1-3-5 way of writing.)​
 
True, but I doubt anyone would cover a band and not have some kind of respect for them in some way, unless of course if the cover was intended as a parody.
 
Listen, people aren't that terribly stupid you know. All those millions of people that made Nevermind get to nuraber one in the Billboard charts never bought that album just because they wanted something refreshing. Yes, you're right, they may have wanted something refreshing but you don't honestly think they would have taken any old crap and bought it do you? And as for Cobain's writing skills, there are as many people who say they hate them as there are people who say they love them. They hit a chord with me for some reason, so I'm in the latter category. Hey, you might not like them, that's your opinion I ain't going to change it. But to say that they got by solely because the public wanted something refreshing is totally wrong.
 
What roots?

18 months previous they had a David Lee Roth lookalike fronting them.

No choice in signing for a big label?
Oh please.
 
I really like Nirvana, still listen to em on a regular basis, have all albums on ma ipod for them boring days working!
I feel that smells like really defines a stage of my younger life!
