I'm not saying you guys are like this, but just saying it as a general statement based on observation over the years.

I don't know, that's not me. I mean having exposure getting airtime on the radio and making appearances on tv isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes I get use to a band, and that can come from exposure. I have different criterea for what gets on my nerves. Maybe it's the over-zealous fans that turns some people away from liking a band idk. I try to ignore that kind of opinionated fan and same goes with the opinionated critic.

Led Zeppelin were mind blowing as well but not very original music wise either.

It's if they like to steal cars just to turn them into pimpmobiles.

Franco was the John Mayer and the Kurt Cobain of African music. He was a player who killed himself by eating too much chicken. This is true, FPK said it many times.

If Mudhoney's entire discography from 1991 onwards disappeared off the face of the Earth tomorrow would anybody even notice?

I can only take Nirvana in small doses. Like, one or two songs at a time.

I can understand that. I don't mind Nevermind, it's pretty good actually but it does sound exactly like a Greatest Hits to me, so I can't really judge it objectively.

I think Bleach is probably their best, but Babes in Toyland and King Snake Roost did a lot better job with grunge than they're given credit for (read: than Nirvana or Pearl Jam or Mudhoney or Soundgarden or...)
