Nirvana is greatness....... Kurt Cobain is LEGEND

I dig Nirvana, hell I liked them pretty much when no one outside the Pacific Northwest did. But I'm sick of this idea that Cobain was "the voice of a generation", or that there was something deep and profound in his lyrics. By his own admission lyrics were pretty much an afterthought to him, often times made up in the studio as they were recording the song.

I enjoy their music a lot. They're a good band.

I used to hate Nirvana some time ago when I was all about technicality in music but now I like them quite much. Theyre not the best band of all time though, theyre more of a symbol than anything else.

Well, their album "Nevermind" was their peek and when their music was at its greatest, but anything else was ok.Kevlar101

Definitely an influential band, but one I never completely latched on to.

I think a lot of Cobain's legacy was built due in part to his suicide at 27 which prompted a lot of the "what ifs" surrounding him as a songwriter and Nirvana as a band.

more of a rap listener though.Mkavanaugh77

They have some pretty awesome songs from what I've heard.

Nirvana is not greatness. The only people who think Nirvana is greatest are those who listen to the radio only. -Tish-

Nirvana, and Kurt Cobain, are overrated as hell. They were okay, but come on....

They are kind of like the "Joy Division effect" for me.. They had one really good album, then the singer died. So how can you really rate their career? I would say they had a short career, and some good songs, thats pretty much it.

the singer died.

i like nirvana not up there with my favs but still a decent band

Not my favorite group, but I enjoy them now and then

Alice In Chains>NirvanaArmoredCore55

Agreed, but I love both.

Bleach was Nirvana's best I reckon, while Facelift was AiC's best.

One of the most overrated bands of all time. Kurt could barely sing and his playing wasn't great either.

Alice In Chains>NirvanaArmoredCore55

This.

But I still like Nirvana. Their album 'Nevermind' is really good. Haven't listened to anymore of their albums.
