You do know that's a cover, right?

EDIT: I stand corrected, Leadbelly didn't write the song, but Kurt introduced the song as being a Leadbelly cover. So safe to say, he modeled Nirvana's version after Leadbelly'.

Anyways, that song is one of the highlights of Unplugged, but I still think my favorite off of that album is Jesus Doesn't Want Me For a Sunbeam. Then again... I havn't heard the album in a while...

You want a reason eh? I'll give you a reason, I'll give you five to be exact.

1. They're music is inmensly overrated. I like grunge don't get me wrong I love Alice in Chains, Mudhoney, Pearl Jam, etc., but Nirvana are just put on a pedestal as "OMG DA GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIEM!!!11111" when in fact they are far far from it.

2. Kurt Cobain can't sing or write a song worth a ****. It's just the same old "oh I don't have a gun" "RAPE ME!!!!!!11111" bull****. Not to mention that some of their songs sound like glorified nursery rhymes covered up in distortion and angst.

3. They appeal to douchey scene kids, angsty teens, and 16 year old girls. My ex-girlfriend used to shove the ****ing band down my throat and go on and on about how great Kurt Cobain was and how much of an hero he was. Speaking about an heroes, haha. If she worships him so much she should go dig up his grave and do some necrophile **** to him for all I care.

4. They changed the state of rock music for the worst. Because of them, you have bands like Korn, Saliva, Slipkunt, Linkin Park, and good god no, Breaking Benjamin.

5. Their music just flat out SUCKS.

You may not like my opinion, but you're just gonna half to deal with it. =) I just plain don't like Nirvana.

you sure you don't like Nirvana or you just hating what the girl who doesn't like you anymore loves?

also blaming Nirvana for Korn and Slipknot is retarded, they're Mr. Bungle's fault.

Since he was cremated, she'd have a hard time doing that.

I was going to stop reading after this:

But I'm glad I carried on. The points you made were (as Mr. Dave said) - retarded.

Whether you think they`re overrated or not is irrelevant, what is relevant is that they are one of the most influential groups of all time and used the Pixies as their starting point, along with a whole host of other infuences.

As for calling Kurt Cobain an untalented songwriter.........well you just haven`t got a clue have you.

Douchy scene kids, angsty teens etc run after all types of groups, regardless of the group`s talent.

As said above, the reference to Korn and Slipknot is redundant and has far more to do with Mr.Bungle and metal in general.

Nah trust me, she still wants me man.

And metal was pretty much dead by the mid 90s, so it had to conform to the alternative trend of the 90s that was started by good ol' Nirvana which is why we have nu-"metal" bands like Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, and Korn.

Then she can just pull some How High **** and put his ashes in a blunt and smoke it, and make him appear. Then she can rape him. haha =P
