I will withdraw some earlier comments considering that I was, at one time a big nirvana fan, but then you get all these 12 year old girls obsessed with them, thinking Kurt is God, buying every shirt that Hot Topic produces of them, and then, in one experience of mine, a girl tried to tell me that Kurt Cobain was an all around better musician and bigger influence on music than....John Lennon!!!!! I realize that this is just an opinion and one that she couldn't back up with facts, but still, it angered me a little

Then, the more I listened to Nirvana, the more bored I became of their music. Also you get all of these conspiracy fanboys who say "Courtney killed Kurt" and these people know nothing on the subject. Kurt killed himself, just cause someone doesnt want to believe it doesnt make it untrue. Everyone needs something to hang onto, and for all these "tortured" nirvana fans it is the fact that Kurt was murdered. At least have some info to back up your claim( i know the evidence so please dont respond with a post straight from www.justiceforkurt.com) Almost every famous, beloved person who has died before their time, has a conspiracy floating around their death. This is all an attempt to console a weary public.

They all commited the same crime as you, its no excuse, if you got bored with them thats fine, saying you dont like them is one thing, simply dismissing their importance to rock, calling them horrible and bashing their fans calling them idiots is another, and attacking someone for their personality is a lame reason to attack their band, while we are at it lets attack Pink Floyd because Roger Waters is a jerk.

Nirvana, once one of my favorite bands, a bit overrated but great nonetheless.

My view on Kurt Cobain is a different story, however. Great songwriter but I would assume that I wouldn't want to be his friend. He killed himself, which is reasonable enough for me to lose so much respect for him.

There is a diffrence between posting an opinion and trying to piss people off.

I've listened to Nirvana quite a few times but I think they're overrated.

I like Nirvana but I believe they are overated for this reason: Nirvana would not be half as big if it weren't for Kurt. Sure the guy was great but no one else in the band ever gets any recognition, most people couldn't name the other people in the band. Nirvana shouldn't be rated so highly, Kurt should.

I want Nirvana to be rated highly because all the band members are acknowledged for their contribution, not just Kurt. GnR has Slash and Axl, not all the band I know, but more than just one guy. RATM has Tom Morello and Zach.

A band should be big for being a great alround band, not a frontman who literally was "everything" Nirvana stood for. Thats not Nirvana, just kurt with bodyguards.

Touche'

Though I don't know many who associate him with Nirvana, more or less the foo's, and especially not before they hum on about Kurt. It is semi disappointing. Even in this thread, out of nearly 600 replies there are only around 20 that mention Dave. Yet theres at least 100 that talk of Kurt.
