Given the fact that both Nirvana and Pearl Jam influenced nearly the whole post -grunge scene, its not surprising that they get a negative backlash.

I don`t like the Rolling Stones, but I recognize that they are one of the best bands to come out of rock! I think anybody with any real knowledge of music, should be able to figure out that Nirvana were an exceptional band, whether they like them or not.

Black Sabbath are talked about in the same vein as other classic bands, being metal though, probably sees them seem less appealing amongst the general music public.

If a cult icon like Iggy Pop who symbolizes what rock is all about, says they are spectacular..........then they are!
