While I think Nirvana is fine, I'm not really bothering to argue against your take on them. But calling Guns & Roses the best band of the last 30 years? You're free to hold that opinion, but I wouldn't let them near a top 500.

Actually, the Beatles never did anything but bring the new ideas of better bands to the main stream in an easily digestible form. Bowie arguably fits the same mould, although at times less easy on the ears.

The Beatles are one of the most overrated groups of all time. They were barely even mediocre as musicians. They did, however, have some damn catchy tunes and strong marketing. That's what made them what they are.

Wash your mouth out with soap, Mic


I'm guessing our friend Nick isn't a sock puppet. He probably isn't a bot either, just someone who has too much time on his hands.

Then again maybe he just hates grunge.


Oh, and hi,everybody

Welcome back!

But I'm afraid I'm going to stand my ground on my view of the Beatles. Feel free to disagree though

Unlike most people in this thread, I like Guns 'n' Roses a lot, but I still wouldn't call them the greatest band of the last 30 years.

Also, it's "etc." not "ect."

Why do people seem to hate Guns N Roses so much?

Made some incredible songs.

They were a band who made a genre that was supposed to be fun into some ****ty Led Zeppelin impression or whatever it was.
