Haven't heard enough of Mudhoney to say on what level they are for me. I just wanna say that Soundgarden is top dog, AiC follows pretty close behind and Nirvana's Nevermind is a piece of overrated bullcrap that does nothing but appear in everyone's top list because of its status as the groundbreaking album, while for me the evolution is what really counts when it comes to how good an album is, ya know. Nevermind is pretty good, but SO overrated it isn't funny.

Personally I think its rated just right. Its just a shame that every two bit music listener seems to think its great as well.

The comment is making me chuckle, because his name is inspired by "Ok Computer".... so I am now more interested in how "Nevermind" is overrated, and how he sees overrated. You know? What is his rating scale?

I can actually understand why Nervermind isn't overrated compared to Bleach, considering it was their introduction album. I'm not insinuating that I knew what happened in the 90s to be so (would be nice to know though). It just makes sense. Compared to In Utero though it is. I think in terms of commercial from what I read, Nevermind is the closest to hit the spot.

Obviously, or maybe it's just obvious to me, Bleach and Nevermind are two distinctly different albums. Yes, I would say that Nevermind was and still is more accessible, but I don't think it could be considered overrated. For a time it was a bit overplayed and oversold, but that happens with really great albums. |

I think Nevermind is a good album and it certainly marked a major turning point for music from what was the 80s model to what would be the 90s model. That said, with the amount "greatest album of the 90s" and "it changed my life" praise it gets, I do definitely consider it overrated.

The biggest irony I've always found about Nirvana is that the kind of people who say 'Nevermind is overrated and Bleach is their best album' usually only discovered Bleach through listening to Nevermind anyway.
I remember when Bleach came out, they were playing every toilet in the UK playing third on the bill to bands like Silverfish & Bomb Disneyland, and those bands were making albums a hell of a lot better than Bleach was.
