KISS are not bad because they are simple, a lot of their music is just weak and or plain average.

People have been on the Nirvana "bandwagon" for over a decade a now. It's not a "lately" occurence, they didn't just get popular out of nowhere. By the way, you don't have to be a certain age to appreciate music from the past (and ten years ago in music is not that long ago at all). Ever since Kurt's death, I've heard nothing but teen obsession and typical "smells like teen spirit" blah blah blah. I think it's time to move on, and find new music to talk about
yes, yes you do.
I like Nirvana...I have Nevermind and the From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah...
Smells like teen spirit will always be one of my favourite songs.
They made the grunge scene popular.
Amen.
they have some similarities. But yeah, i suppose "pop punk" might not be fitting.
Lets just leave it at grunge already, since nothing else fits well :-/
Man Who Sold The World for me to.
he didnt kill himself he was murdered
I'm sorry, I should have made the original post more neutral. I dont have specific feelings about nirvana, i just wanted to incite discussion and see what the general opinion is here.
Okay, first of all Nirvana never claimed to be the first grunge band. I don't know many people who do. Second, Nirvana brought grunge into mainstreem, a significant blow to the Bubble Gum pop, Hair Metal, Arena Rock and dance pop that dominated back then. Although pop music has (in the end) won the war, Nirvana (helped) get us out of the crazy sounRAB of the 80's.
Thirdly, not many of the fans of the original grunge sound like Nickelback or post-grunge of any kind (I know I sure don't!).
Last, Cobain had a unique voice all his own. Compared to many artist of today, he was extremely unique. His lyrics are often cryptic, so boneheaRAB can't understand them (Something he himself admitted in the song "In Bloom").
So don't you go downing my favorite band like that!
