The only thing that gets Nirvana any attention is the fact that Kurt Cobain is dead....Dave Grohl was a decent drummer, as for the rest of the band...well....garbage if you ask me.
I am so sick and tired of all these kids today who are like "OH MY GOD NIRVANA IS THE BEST!"....they are so ignorant and niave, and need to learn something about Rock and where it came from.

This a widely misconcieved part of Nirvana, people thought he was the 'tortured artist' and tormented from birth. The truth is Kurt didn't want all the bullsh
it and said it many a time. In my opinion he has a great voice, if you listen on unplugged it does need all the editing you get today, you probably dislike the way he used it more. It was just unconventional to most.
Cobains guitar skills were never amazing, but he never boasted the fact and they still produced good songs despite incredible talent at the guitar.
It's piss poor to blame Nirvana for My Chemical Romance, if you happen to dislike one particular band and a very weak argument on your part merely because you believe Nirvana to be ''depressed''.
Yes the suicide got the band a huge amount of media attention, a larger following, an all together 'icon status' for the band and the label of 'overrated'.
Most of those kids that go walking around got a copy of Nevermind burned by their friend, bought a t-shirt and started preaching about Kurt, yes they do need a wider range of musical knowledge before they start believing they were god fathers of grunge or whatever, but it doesn't neccesarily mean that they would stop liking Nirvana it would just change their perception of blo
ody genres.You're merely taking a cheap shot at a 'mainstream' band, if they hadn't been swept up by MTV and gained millions of fans but were 'underground' i doubt you'd be posting that oh-so original opinion.
