Nirvana to me was the band at the time.

If you want to make any argument involving V.U. and Nirvana, then we could argue that without V.U. then there would be no Nirvana. |

As I save been saying though, it had an impact, but that impact was not felt here. Radio here would not play it, tv would not play it here. So how was it impactful at the time I was growing up? It wasn't til I was in my late teens-early 20's I would hear this stuff myself much more. But it was Nirvana's cover of VU that I personally knew them from.

I say, if Nirvana did not have a great impact and legacy... we would not be having this debate right now. The fact it still rages on speaks to this.
yeah, I realise you have people on both side of the debate, but they are still debating it to this day. Maybe years down the line, when much of the music from this time has been forgotten, it will go away. But that is a whole nother topic right there.

I think much of what I said on VU, Bowie and such has been taken slightly out of context. I am aware they had impact before, I am saying, Nirvana helped push them to people of that generation who may not have exposure to them elsewhere. Of course they were successful before Nirvana came along and had already built a strong following... maybe the percentage of people who knew of them because of Nirvana was a small one, but it was still a percentage of people none the less..
