Motley Crue was obviously on the list as a joke. Although I do think that The Stooges & Velvet Underground contributed to the alternative or pop/punk music, I don't think they necessarily had the biggest impact on it. Just my pathetic opinion. |

"I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies" Kurt Cobain Or do you doubt that the BCC knows what they're talking about? Quote:

And Led Zep, King Crimson, and Jethro Tull may have done the soft/loud thing too, but Kurt Cobain never praised them the way he praised Pixies. Besides, Nirvana weren't even the first Grunge band, something they're so often credited with. Does that mean that everything they did was null and void (which is what you seem to be saying about Pixies with bringing up Led Zep, etc.)? |

As for Nirvana not having skill, they really didn't. Cobain was a sloppy guitar player and he was an awful songwriter. The only thing that redeems Nirvana's music in my eyes is Grohl and Novoselic's tight rhythm section. |

And Cobain actualy did like Crimson, i remember him saying that Red was one of his favorite albums. Pixies innovated white noise?...Puleeze, several bands have done it before, including the Jesus and Mary Chain, Can, Sonic Youth...Even King Crimson explored the realms of noise rock with Larks Tongue In Aspic and Red...Sure Nirvana didnt innovate anything, neither did Pixies. Bands steal all the time, Led Zeppelin did it, all punk bands did it, Pixies sure as hell did it...Its not like Nirvana are the only criminals, though they are the only band who get bashed for it on a regular basis, go figure. |

And no band lacks skill completely, everybody has skill to some degree, Cobain was average at best, his soloing was sloppy sometimes, but his rhythm playing was always clean, simple as hell, but clean...And it was his rhythm playing that was essential to the music, after all...Novoselic wasnt too skilled a bassist, but he was decent enough, and saying Grohl has no skill would simply be incorrect. |

i said before Led Zeppelin had the impact.. but i change my mind kind of.. wel;l no i dunno see if you can get this..
The Yardbirds.. WHY? because they broke up Eric Clapton went on to create Cream, and Jimmy Page went on to create Led Zeppelin.. so if it wasn't for the members in The Yardbirds nor Cream or Led Zeppelin would have happened, thus future bands not having Zeppelin and Cream to look up to.. and to bring different styles.. changing music so in saying that.. i think The Yardbirds had the biggest impact.. ![]() |

Kurt Cobain was a prankster. He and Krist used to go around their home town and tag on local stores and churches things like "God is a homo".
The guy was smarter then the public eye, he would talk utter crap if he could get a kick out of other peoples gullability.
