MURDER JUNKIE

Why is it that the ladies always swoon all over these sh!tstains??

Urban Hat€monger ?

Not saying Nirvana are the worst band in the world , but here is one of my favourite writers Lawrence Miles on his take of Nirvana which sums up exactly how I feel about them.....


To be honest, I still blame Nirvana for a lot of this guitars-equal-alternative nonsense: the modern generation, i.e. those who were too small to angst in 1991, have been brought up to believe that Nirvana were world-shaping revolutionaries and that (as one particularly poor music journalist put it) 'everyone can remember where they were the first time they heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit"'. For the sake of any readers under the age of twenty, I feel I should point out that this is almost on a "no-**** revolution" level of wrongness. We liked "Smells Like Teen Spirit" because it was a fantastic noisy pop record, not because we'd never heard anybody hitting their guitars really, really hard before. As "alternative" music goes, it was hardly dangerous or radical; final and damning proof of this only turned up last month, when my 74-year-old mother asked me 'what's the name of that song that goes "hello, hello, hello, hello"?', and thereafter bought Nirvana's From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah in a sale at HMV. Bear this in mind the next time someone tries to tell you that Kurt Cobain expressed the anxiety and self-destructive urges of his generation. Someone who draws a pension and watches every edition of Changing Rooms probably isn't likely to blow her own head off in response to the emptiness of modern life.

please don't inclue me as being similar in any way to someone who would enjoy listening to his music let alone "swoon" over him.

and to answer your question, gotta be drugs.

and in reply to urban's post, along with the quote he put down, I see where he's going with that. Continuing on with that train of though, Pearl Jam is in much the same situation as Nirvana. There are a whole swack of bands now that copied pearl jam's style, and now sound exactly the same, with no originality and that just spew out cookie cutter lyrics and music to back it up, these bands being creed, nickelback, theory of a deadman, default, the list just goes on and on

That was a pretty lousy review.

I dont really think of Nirvana too much as alternative rock, i consider them a good hard rock band plain and simple....Nirvana werent ridiculously original, but they did introduce a lot of people to older bands who had little mainstream success in the 80s...Mainly Pixies and Sonic Youth, hell a lot of kids got into those bands because of Nirvana, because of their previous lack of exposure to most indie and alternative bands...And overall they made great music in my opinion.

But oh wait, Cobain likes Pixies and he credited them as a influence, which means they are direct Pixies ripoff.

Back on topic, you really need to try at least to pick a band that actualy qualifies as the worst band of all time, you are simply going by bands you think are overrated, which is pointless, this is not the most overrated bands thread, and not every overrated band is bad, and they are certainly not one of the worst bands of all time, i mean Jesus, just try, im begging you.

Now please, can we just stick to authentic **** bands?

Every band has their ****ty imitators, it happens, it dosent mean they are a bad band themselves.

no i agree, my point (though i didn't really make it) was that the bands that they do imitate get put into an unfair position, because they are inevitably going to be associated with all the sh*tty bands who copied their sound, and sometimes those associations cloud the fact that they HAVE put out some really goo music, and for the most part were a positive influence on the music scene. That point being more true for nirvana than pearl jam.

haha, wow i'd forgotten about crash test dummies, good call. although I remember them having one song that I absolutely loved, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was...I'm going on a quest to figure that out now.
