The Pixies vs Nirvana

why is nirvana shitvana?

okay, i can see how some do like them, not something everybody enjoys personally, but to just call them shit is not right. They did have talent. Kurt, while he may have been a minimal guitarist in technique did have a god sense of melody, his vocals as well. He knew how to be simple but inject basic melody into his sound, he was good at composing poppy tunes that while yes, are basic and simple still suited the songs. Not every guitarist has to be a Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix or Micheal Angelo Batio... sometimes it is harder to write a simple song than it is to just shred and be technical.

Interested in hearing what reasons you have to dislike them. Interested in seeing what counters you have to my statement above.
