Of course you do Pussy_Arrives, you're an emo girls blouse. I'd be shocked if you didn't enjoy the music of a 30+ year old "man" whose voice hasn't broken and is known for singing Dolly Parton covers.
That would be you yeah?

I think my username says it all. I still feel the same way about Nirvana now as I did when I first heard and saw them on MTV almost 20 yrs ago, :thumbup: and LongRd is correct in saying that a lot of the music is mostly coming from American Idol... you very rarely hear any garage type bands anymore... it's sad really... :(
believe me, check out THE DRONES.

Hey, I saw that video SG posted after their reunion. It was good, but they looked quite unmotivated and a bit self-conscious, don't ya think?!

jolene? man, that's a fucking fabulous song regardless of who's singing it...
Guitar Hero 1-5 and Rock Band 1 and 2. These GAMES did for meaningful rock music in the last decade what Nevermind did for it in '91. No artists have touched what Nirvana did for making meaninigful rock mainstream for a generation of pop zombies. My sister (14) is getting into rock now because of these games. Enough said.
This sounds silly but I think its true. Seems I see a lot of interviews where bands and guitar players praise these games for exposing more kids to rock than anything they could have thought of.

The most depressing thing is that the album that best defines this generation's outcasts will probably be something by My Chemical Romance or some other bunch of whiney woe-is-me bitches.

Nevermind is and will always be a great album. My best friend was completely taken away by it when it came out (and continues to thrash it and stand up for it to this day) and I applaud him for it. I enjoy cranking this album but it did not grab me the way it clearly has others, each to their own,
I still remember the Saturday morning that changed my life, I was thirteen years old watching TV around 8:30am. These 5 dudes with long hair and banging guitars and no tight black jeans with tight black t-shirts I turned up the volume and was caught. Even Flow. The Ten Album was and is my Nevermind. I understand what people say about Nevermind and have never argued their opinions but Ten is the album that I felt defined a generation, mine.
So the answer to the question after my ramble is NO. Not since Ten ah wait Nevermind
This is just what I was going to say. I don't know what generation the OP is referring to, but my generation had a Nevermind... it was called Ten.
Nirvana, specifically 'Nevermind', was a game changer. And game changers are rare and far between. I would say that the only two widely impacting moments were the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and Nirvana's 'Nevermind'. The next closest thing to those would possibly be the Sex Pistols. But, nothing changed the whole mainstream as the Beatles and Nirvana.
I hope there is some kids out there in a garage somewhere who are working on something.

Nevermind and Ten, what a great era.
Wish I was older then.
All I get is Justin Bieber :(
I know what you mean. It's sad. At least we have Jack White.
