If Kurt Cobain wants to be his wish-he-were list of bands, he could have settled as a Tribute artist. But he is not a cover band, he is his own band, and he needed to realize that and treat Nirvana as so.

Steve Albini doesn't get hired he chooses what he wants to produce. This is fact.

Yeah they did. It wasn't like they were so very very talented, (and alot of idiots seem to think it's only talent that defines a band, and if they aren't the best in the world they're 'overrated'), and there were plenty of underground punk bands associated with Nirvana. But with all the underground bands out on stage every night, Nirvana was the one that broke through when they recorded the Nevermind album. And it's funny how most of the haters used to be obsessed. Or the ones I see anyway. "I LOVE NIRVANA MAYYYNEEEE"......two years later....."the hell with em, everyone else says they lacked talent, so even though I like the music I will take their side on it!"

Me = Nirvana fanatic
anyone who disagrees = Forrest Gump

Okay, for one hes dead so all that shold be in past tense ;D. I see your point, but I disagree with it. Making music is funner then covering it, and if nirvana wants to sound a paticular way then its fine. Tons of other bands sound like other bands.

"Singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain was aware that Nirvana risked alienating its core fanbase of punk and indie rockers with its recent superstardom, and the band chose Steve Albini, a well-respected "recording engineer" (working with the likes of The Pixies, major influences to Nirvana) and member of the bands Rapeman and Big Black, to record the album." - exerpt of Wikipedia entry for "In Utero"

A couple days ago I edited the mario wikipedia to say the highest mario score ever was a trillion bajillion.

Wikipedia = not that great of source for this kind of thing.

Amen to that.

Why does that not surprise me?

And On topic.

Nirvana, not insanely talented yes. But like it or not, extremely well recieved and they did, in a way, revolutionize Grunge as a genre.

Saying a band sucks, means nothing. You may personally dislike them, but to go so far as to brand them is a waste of time.

I'm sure I probably think a lot of the bands you listen to aren't all that great, but respectively, they've all done their part for the Music industry. Be it large, like Nirvana, or small, like False Advertising (Sorry)

Well Steve Albini said himself in an interview that he chooses what bands he produces. It's even in a link somewhere on the wikipedia website.

The way I heard it in an interview, is just that. Nirvana shot him the idea, and he thought it was a good one. I'm not going to quote anything....because.....why the hell does this really matter?
In Utero pwned. Period.
