Sorry but I disagree about RHCP. I guess I'm not funky enough.
Also, I wasn't listening to the radio in the 80's because I was under 6 years old, but how many of those bands got radio play? I'm talking about mainstream music, that's what Nevermind was and what it primarily affected. (Although underground punk would not be as popular today if Nirvana didn't come along.) Underground music is a whole different issue.
And if I hear "Jane Says" one more time in my life I may kill myself!!! Definitely one of the worst (most annoying) songs I've ever heard.
