    Good band. If you ever find yourself driving the backroads of western washington, it is essential you listen to nirvana. To me, their music comes from the nature of this place.

    I'm almost positive that you hate a band, so why don't you fuck off

    I credit Nirvana with solidifying the death of the mainstream popularity of garbage 80s rock. For that, i'm forever grateful.

    I've never heard In Utero before I finally started listening to my brother's copy a few days ago. I always thought Nevermind was horribly overrated, but In Utero is pretty sweet through my first few listens.

    are you serious? the only nirvana you'd ever heard until a few days ago was nevermind? that'd explain things... incesticide and in utero are why nirvana is a great band. nevermind has too much hype for anyone to judge it on its merits, kinda like ten.

    agreed. I think most real Nirvana fans prefer In Utero to Nevermind just as real PJ fans prefer Vs to Ten. this isn't true in every case because it's all a matter of taste, but I think the majority thinks like this.

    I must really be getting old if there are people on this message board who haven't heard Nirvana.

    Yeah, it's pretty embarrassing. I don't know why I've never heard In Utero until recently, being as big a fan of the genre as I am. I wish I'd discovered it earlier, because it's really good.

    You got me there. It was real late when I posted and I just wanted to have some interesting responses to look foward to for today.

    So some of my thoughts on Nirvana

    They were the most important band of my generation. Without them I might still be listening to Aerosmith, GNR, and Metallica.I may never have been turned on to classic indie, not to mention punk and grunge.

    They started a tital wave in my life that I feel strongly to this day. It wasn't just about the songs which are amazing. It was an attitude, a philosophy.

    Was some of it an illusion in my head?
    Probably

    But nonetheless, everytime I listen to Nirvana, I feel that fire burning bright and proud. Every time I see a picture Of Kurt I feel a profound sadness. He was my hero, and what he did was unforgivable.

    but I'm not going to sit by and listen to a bunch of assholes who probably don't know shit about music, piss all over him and Nirvana

    not without having my say

    it is really good. which is why i dont get the hate. yes, nirvana is kinda over-rated in the deification of kurt cobain, but they were a very good band who wrote some excellent songs and there is much more to their legacy than smells like teen spirit. i recently bought the dvd release of their video... live tonight sold out. it's shocking to realize just how young and confused kurt was. he was an undeniable talent. if he'd had another 10 years to keep writing the way pearl jam have, im sure he would have done amazing things with it.

    it's kinda of a catch-22. dying young immortalized kurt and polarized his legacy. it made them bigger than they ever would have been had he lived and kept turning out music. at the same time though, it deprived us of a lot of great music that i have no doubt would have vastly exceeded anything on nevermind.

    No. I'm entitled to hate them. I don't go about making threads saying nirvana lovers fuck off, my reason being that it's your choice to like them in much the same way as it's my choice not to. Incidentally, one of my reasons for not liking them is the fact that Kurt was so intolerant of things that weren't to his taste. does it run in his fans too?

    No. He died. He didn't immortalize anything.

    Nirvana was huge when Cobain died. His death, if anything, made the music less than what it was.

    yes you're right, kurt didn't immortalise anything. that was left to the media and his fans. and his detractors. his death guaranteed an intense interest in nirvana's music.as did those that refused to allow him a quiet death.
    everytime i see amagazine with kurt cobain on the cover i buy it. i know i will learn nothing new from the article, but it is reflex i can't help. nirvana are my favourite band, have been for a bloody long time and as far as i can see they will remain so for a very long time, if not til the day i die. i don't deify kurt cobain cause i know he had some fucked up issues to deal with. i take his music for what it was, but more importantly for what it means to to me. i don't agree that nirvana haters should fuck off, but by the same token i don't really understand why nirvana and especially kurt generate such polarity. sure he said some shit that he can't take back or clarify. and we have no more music with which we can judge any maturity with. they were a band of their time and they remain of that time. but the fact remains love them or hate them, nirvana were and still are an influential band. that can not be denied.

    this is patently false. before kurt died, pearl jam was a MUCH bigger band. they outsold nirvana, sold more concert tickets, got more airplay, and were better liked by critics and fans. once kurt pulled the trigger though, all that changed. suddenly it was nirvana who were the grunge gods and pearl jam who were the grumpy wanna be imitators. months of magazines lamenting kurt were released. books, conspiracy theories, etc. it was just like when jim morrison died. it made kurt a mythically tortured legend, whereas before he was just a grunge icon that they were waiting to see what happened to.

    it's the classic only the good die young thing... james dean, jim morrison, jimi hendrix, nirvana, etc. you go in your prime and there is nothing mediocre to taint it. that's why the beatles are consistently rated higher than the stones. they broke up before they turned out a decade's worth of mediocre albums and john died before they could do any who-like crappy reunion tours. it's why brad nowell and sublime are punk/ska gods and nobody knows who rancid is. and it's why pearl jam will never be able to approach nirvana in terms of mass appeal... becos nirvana never had a chance to release a 'riot act'.

    Pretty corny stuff. Is a tital wave more destructive than a tidal wave?
