metallica and nirvana are bands that were the first of their kind. metallica was too punk for the metal clubs and too metal for the punk clubs, so they combined the two and went big. as far as i know they were the first to do so on such a large scale. in the late 80s nearly all the good hair metal bands went soft and started writing ballads, and thats when nirvana came and kicked the sh*t out of all the puss ballad bands. it was something nobody had ever heard before.
so please understand that those 2 bands were the first of their kind and deserve more respect than you're putting out. modest mouse is also a good band but that's my opinion so i'll keep that to myself.
