Nirvana. Overrated?

This thread is pointless, we'll never come to an agreement. You have those that love Nirvana and those that don't. Agree to disagree.

Pretty much all threads on the internet are pointless in the end.

LOL, I was just thinking the same.  Except, I will say I think on-line discussions sometime do reveal new information I hadn't known about, and they often challenge me to re-evaluate how I think about some things and also give me the opportunity to refine my communications about things I do feel strongly about.  I don't know if everyone looks at it that way, but I do know others do.

As for this particular subject though, yeah, I'd say Thoughts nailed it:  for the most part, people are either fans of Nirvana or thy're not.

I would disagree wholeheartedly with what rummy said. if it were not for this place, I wouldn't have HALF the knowledge about current and historical events that I do now. I have learned an immense about a whole variety of topics from being a member here over the years, from politics to the environment to pearl jam socks. it has even helped shape how I view the world, and subsequently how I pass that on to my kids. 

I wasn't at all politically engaged before visiting the AMT all those years ago.

Obviously (well maybe not) I was overstating the idea. Unless we go down the avenue of "we-all-die-in-the-end-so-nothing-really-matters" but that might be a little to bleak.

In any event, yes, lots of good people and ideas out there. Lots of poop, too.

I think I'd rather drink bleach than listen to it.

Good songs on Bleach but the production is too tough for me. Live versions are where it's at for these tunes.

Properly rated while Kurt was alive, absolutely overrated ever since.

Probably correct.

I must confess, I read these recent comments after a particularly bad interaction on another forum site.  I should not let those experiences taint my perceptions.  I too have learned much here and elsewhere.  Sometimes I let the bad experiences bother me too much.  You'd think I'd learn by now not to.  Tête du bois!
