you make it seem like nirvana was pumping out crap and the sycophants would just gobble it up with that '...so popular...' line. that was not the case. tourette's was only released as a single to draw attention to the 'live from the muddy banks of the wishkah' album in 1996. 'hairspray queen' never got much attention if it was ever released as a proper single also. while nirvana has indirectly influenced every whiny depressed 'poet' from every high school across north america into believing they're words are deep, his words actually WERE deep (as opposed to an unending whine about being dumped / pissed off about having to let go of being a kid / becoming 'the man').
showing the masses who else was out there was a staple of 90s alt-rock. that's like giving them extra praise for playing power chords.

In all the arguements you have you always belittle me. I know his words were deep you don't need to tell me anything about Nirvana.
I was saying Kurt Cobain COULD put stuff like Tourette's on his ALBUMS. When i say he cou;d put stuff out like tourette's that by no means means releasing a soingle.
I do not think Nirvana was pumping out crap at all, they are easily the band that means the most to me and that I connect with the most. I'm saying the bulk of society sees something like Hairspray queen as crap due to the fact his vocals are..well you know. I love that song, but lets say some unknown band like, well I don;t know, were to put that on the radio, it would probably get dismissed by a lot of people quickly but if Nirvana were to put that on the radio it would probably be more excepted because you know their Nirvana.
You can say Nirvana reminded people that thats all you needed to get the job done, but I think they showed much much much more people, including ignorant people since I know self proclaimed hardcore Nirvana and Cobain Martyrs usually have a rep for being ignorant.
