I mean what is this with all these people into music, who seem to think grunge and Nirvana were typical mainstream back then.

They sold more records, they were taken more seriously in the press, they sold more magazines by appearing on covers. No doubt that Pearl Jam sold a lot of records but then so did Nickleback.

Vedder is just a pretender, always has been always will be. By about 1996 most of the world outside the US had stopped caring about them.
the number of Pearl Jam clones we have here.............

It really is weird. It does remind me of conversations I used to have about 60s music I used to have with my dad when I was a kid though.

Nevermind (or other grunge albums after, even) might not have been mainstream like everyone says, but it was a lot more accessible than the music it was born from. It also has a very poppy sound to it.

I'd say it was roughly as accessible as the Pixies' Doolittle which was the album Cobain claimed most inspired Nevermind.

I still think In Utero is the best that Nirvana has got.

But since when do sales = quality?

I actually listened to Backspacer recently for the first time after hearing how great it was supposed to be. It sucked.

Also... mad lulz at the kids trying to talk to us about how it really was in the 90s when we were probably older than they are now when it was happening. I was graduating high school when Cobain committed suicide... Nirvana totally sounded as mainstream as Extreme or Hooty and the Blowfish

They don't. I was just disagreeing with the claim that no one outside the US listens to them any more.

Oh I wasn't saying that.

I'm just saying that in the US they sold shitloads of albums & gave birth to hundreds of really sucky bands that hung around the music scene like a bad smell for the rest of the decade, while the rest of the world the reaction was more like 'Oh look, another band from Seattle wearing flannel. Outside the US I don't thing they never really rose above one of those bands that have a group of diehards keeping them going.

And to suggest they made more of an impact than Nirvana (Which is what started all this originally)to me is laughable.

Record sales may be a good subject for debate, but I agree with the suggestion, that quanity does not equal quality. Nevermind, the sound and style of that particular album was mainstream at the time of its release in the 90s.
I agree with the statement that suggest, In Utero is one of the better albums. It sounds more original, experimental, and I personally think that In Utero reminded me of the album Bleach a little, simplicity was the genius of the era in question, nothing very technical concerning grunge. AIC has more material that I actually listen to, thats all..
