As I said before, Nirvana was just another MTV band. Remember when the MTV executives didn't allow them to perform Rape Me at the VMA? Cowards..

I think it's rather arbitrary to use MTV as the only yardstick of being "commercial" or "selling out". Pearl Jam had about a million songs on the radio, which you don't do without being "commercial". I'm sure you know that, which is why you used "MTV" as an insult rather than something more broad that might have included your boys.
