I can't stand Nirvana, nor can I understand the hype surrounding them. Kurt Cobain was a boring guitarist and a horrible vocalist, Krist Novoselic was a boring bassist, and Dave Grohl was a boring drummer. Nothing wrong with simplicity; the song "Heroin" is built around two chords, but it's a fantastic song, and many Dylan and CCR songs only use three or four chords. But Nirvana is simply really, really, excruciatingly boring (which throws out Cobain being a good songwriter, eh?).

I also love how people act like Cobain was Gen X's Bob Dylan, when he wasn't even close to being the best songwriter of the past 20 years.
