Nirvana's music is awesome Kurt is a drug addicted loser that couldn't except his own fame.

I was a Nirvana fan since the first week Nevermind came out. I quit listening to them the summer after Kurt shot himself when I saw 40 year old men singing all apologies.

Now all the little emo teenies glorify Kurt for shooting himself.

This.

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

You also might like Bleach.

You MUST listen to In Utero as it is an AMAZING album just like Nevermind.

I still prefer Nevermind, but I honestly don't know how much of it is due to it being my first taste of Nirvana. Random song from the album that I love: Scentless Apprentice

As for the band overall, they are my fav band of all-time. I directly attribute them for my interrest in music. As crazy as it may sound, I have been a fan since I was a toddler. Something about their music has just always connected with me.

I love all their work. Each album is at least good with Nevermind and In Utero being two of the greatest albums ever made IMO (Nevermind being my all-time fav).

As I have grown up I dug more and more into music and found more and more gems. There is so much more to them beyond the awesomeness of Nevermind.

Nirvana songs everyone needs to listen too:

Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Perhaps best cover ever? Only live recordings I would put even close to this is and The Man Who Sold the World is "Pull My Strings" by The Dead Kennedys)

Negative Creep

Sappy

Pennroyal Tea

Drain You

I will say, they seem to be a band that you either get or you don't. You kinda had to be there to really appreciate it I suppose,

Oh and to the people claiming the band wasn't talented, just LOL. Krist was a great bassist, Dave Ghrol is an AWESOME drummer who has also managed to be an amazing vocalist AND guitar plaer (making him one of the most talented musicians in rock in my mind), and Kurt just had the perfect grunge rock voice.

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

Hipster is over rated......anyway Kurt's legacy wasn't the technical proficiency but the words that apparently resonated with the teens of the early 90s.

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

I think they're grea for what they were and I've not switched on the radio in 16 years.

SteverXIII

If music were only about technical skill it would get terribly boring. Fortunately there's more to music than just skill. Some on the most skilled players in the world can't write a memorable hook or a catchy melody to save their life. Cobain, on the other hand, excelled at this.

He was so talented because his voice was not perfect. Thats what made him great. I'm not trolling, i'm being serious.

The biggest flaw with the Pixies was not giving Kim more room to shine.

Yeah I was probably only 10 years-old when they were big but I remember seeing/hearing them everywhere. The radio, TV, everyone wearing Nirvana shirts, wierd Al making parodies etc.

Definetely. They were still awesome, though. I think it's funny how little people know of them considering how many bands/musician they influenced. Hell I remember reading a quote from Kurt Cobain where he out right admitted that Smells Like Teen Spirit was a rip off of a Pixies tune.

That's how it goes. I mean every artist out there has built upon the backs of other artists. Most go unnoticed, but eventually things line up just right for one and then everyone that artist has built from still goes unnoticed.

A lot of artists are huge for a short time and then fade off into history. I feel that is what would have happened to Nirvana if Cobain hadn't killed himself. Of course there is no way of knowing this, it's just my personal thoughts.

Nah, they had already cemented their place. Sure a lot of artists are huge for a short time, but generally not a lot are as huge and acclaimed as Nirvana were.

Led Zeppelin ripped off a bunch of 60s groups, and that is especially noticeable in their song Stairway to Heaven, and most all of their songs with a Blues tone.

I used to be really into them and I idolized Kurt Cobain. I was going through a rough time in my life so listening to Nirvana was a little "spiritual" for me. Now, I've moved onto other bands and other music, but I still really enjoy Nirvana.

um...... what is wrong with those bands?

The majority of those bands are radio oriented. Also, Yes and Queen>>>>>Nirvana. And what's with the random insertion of Pac? What's your favorite album by him?

To linkify something, you can do it by using this:

You can highlight something and use the paper clip below where it says "Font Family".
