Nirvana, not insanely talented yes. But like it or not, extremely well recieved and they did, in a way, revolutionize Grunge as a genre.

Saying a band sucks, means nothing. You may personally dislike them, but to go so far as to brand them is a waste of time.

I'm sure I probably think a lot of the bands you listen to aren't all that great, but respectively, they've all done their part for the Music industry. Be it large, like Nirvana, or small, like False Advertising (Sorry)

Heh, I can't wait for False Advertising to hit the Singstar series!

I personally think Nirvana were just in the right place at the right time, and luckily for them they had some good attributes. These three things got them off the ground.

Too bad In Utero dragged down by an unnecessary bulk of moans and incoherent vocals, and constant depressive songs, as reflected in songs like Scentless Apprentice and All Apologies. I have nothing against bands who record music consisting of helplessness and dark tones. But this sort of thing was really more suited for bands like Joy Division and The Smiths... frankly, Kurt just couldn't execute songs with as quite much succession in Nevermind. And he still can't in this record, even though there is a sense of a little more effort.

First of all, the songs mentioned there are some of the best. Secondly, if Kurt were alive he would tell you he really could care less what you think it should have been, or who should have done it. The definition of a great band is someone who writes the music they feel like writing. Not writing about whatever the current fad is, or writing a certain way just to appeal to certain people.

EDIT: And with this last statement, I'm out.
As a friend of mine says...."Opinions are like *******s....everybody has one."

[Untitled_00]

Hey, I agree that they rank high in the album too. But with that said, I still by all means hate them.

For a writer who wrote what he "felt like", he'd commonly criticize his songs afterwards. And he seemed to take his status seriously, regardless of what nature the reaction was. Loved by his fanbase as he may have been, many say that very same fanbase contributed in driving him to his suicide.

You should become more educated on a subject, before speaking about it.

Haha, what an excellent Website. There are too many stories surrounding his death. I personally think it should be left alone.

[Ace]

I'd agree with that. There is no way of really knowing, but that site atleast shuts up the theory of an absolute suicide. Especially since the damn police even ruled it out without a very thorough investigation.

His ultimate fate of death is besides the point.

they were influential, but after a while they bore me.

Word.

Plus there are many bands with more "incoherent" vocals than Nirvana... Such as Radiohead.

Also Untitled_00, if you're a black metal fan by any chance I'm gonna have to kick your ass.
