i'm not sure that's entirely true. i mean I am skimming through a recent issue of rolling stone claiming that Smells Like Teen Spirit is the 9th greatest song ever written. I would disagree with that. I understand that really the issue is refferring to the implications that these songs had on both ther generations in whih they were made and on the future of music from the point in which they had their impact but still. 9th GREATEST song ever? a bit overrated.
hardly even listened to by the mainstream of kids anymore but still held up as god like by the critics. that's my only realy point.
and pixies over nirvana all the way baby :]
