I used to love Nirvana back in the day, but after getting my fill and then some, they've pretty much lost their appeal to me. Kurt Cobains voice is grating and the subject matter of the songs is not as interesting as it once was. I recently listened to the MTV live record again for the first time in 10+ years and the songs I like the most now are the covers. Kurt just comes across as a humourless douche, completely bored with life, which I guess he was. I think I liked that about him once, but now it annoys me.
I'd rather listen to Foo Fighters, even if I don't know them that well. Unlike Kurt, Grohl seems like a highly likeable person.
