Grunge didn`t kill hair metal it died from over exposure, Grunge mearly kicked the corpse while it was down. You don`t see people claiming emo killed grunge in the past few years , because it didn`t.

While those bands may have been the future of new rock and roll, none of them had the almost immediate impact that Nirvana did on the US after they finally released a record on a major label.

Agreed no one rose to fame as quick as they did and no one will in my book.

Im not saying they were important because of how quickly they rose to fame, but the impact they had on the world of music is only comparable to that of the Beatles finally reaching the US market. But Nirvana is by far the best grunge, and arguably the best rock band of all time.

Than get off the computer and use it instead of telling people who don't care about what you have or don't have.

Okay, the penis thing is getting old. Only levi could pull it off well. Back to whatever was being discussed.

If grunge really isn't dead, it should be shot in the face.
