imo they are just because they introduced the new style of rock to the world they killed the old style of popular rock and made grunge popular

and at the time were considored the best band in the world so do you still like there music or have you never liked it

give reasons then tell what genre\band you do like

No. They're OK, but not the best band ever. As an above user said, there's no such thing.

I don't like Nirvana much at all. Sure, Kurt was a revolutionary, but I still think his music was trash. :P

Suck. Totally. NIN and Nirvana pale in comparison to Clutch. Seriously though, Nirvana is horrible, just don't play them in my presence.

Far from it, they are on of the most mediocre bands around.... I listen mostly to metal: Amon Amarth, Immortal, Emperor, Evergrey, Iced Earth, etc.

No band is the best band "ever". Sure you could argue the various technical skills and influential presence that a particular band brought to the table, but best "ever"? Nirvana was a very good band that fully destroyed the college/pop barrier and influenced a lot of people. But that could be considered a good or bad thing depending upon who you're talking to. Cobain obviously thought it to be the latter.

I'm really not a fan.
The music never really grabbed me, and last year I had a teacher who, along with being one of the most hideous, annoying person I've ever know, was completely obsessed with Nirvana. It pretty much ruined any chance I woul've had to like the band.. :P

Voted "Hate Them".

I, personally, am of the opinion that either Armored Saint, Van Halen, AC/DC, or Guess Who is the best band ever.

Nirvana isn't bad, but are terribly overrated. Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam were much better grunge bands.

So, do many people in your town dislike Nirvana? I have many friends that like Nirvana, though.

Given that I live right near Kurt Cobain's hometown, I imagine that more people here like them than dislike them. Heck, I don't dislike them; I just don't think they're anywhere near the best band ever.

Sorry to say this but except for "Smells like Teen Spirit" and "Come as you Are", in all of their songs (and I think I have heard all their albums) the singer was growling without any melody that I could understand. It seemed... tiring. I mean I heard him growl, spiting his lungs out, and I felt so fatigued as I heard him.

But this is just my opinion. That's why I voted "no"

Seconded. Well, sort of. I really only think Kurt Cobain is garbage. I like Dave Grohl as a musician.

Im sure some would say its debatable if they introduced grunge to the world, many bands were doing that and they were popular around the world though not as gigantic as Nirvana was, I do admit though the "Smells like Teen Spirit" song and video was huge, basically killing that crap glam rock like Poison and Motley Crue of the 80's. Personally I dont even like the song though. However I love their unplugged album and they have some other great songs to me. They were probably the biggest band of the 90's but everyone will have thier own opinion on whos the best band to them.

Uh, no. There were a myriad of reasons: he was a drug addict, he found it increasingly difficult to maintain an anti-commercial stance with the band's increasing popularity, he didn't find joy in writing music anymore, and a few other reasons, none of which include him thinking his band sucked.

Its all a opinion. I mean know one is ever going to agree on the best band ever. Do I think so, no but do you think Guns N Roses is the best band? Doubt it.

Their music doesn't have that catharsis that some other music gives me, plus it's really simplistic. The songwriting and lyrics are just too dull for my taste.

No they aren't. I used to like them a few years ago but now I hate them.
They never killed the 80s music either, I always hear people say they killed the glam rock bands, or whatever they are called.
Nirvana never did that, but yeah I hate them.

That's funny because Cobain loved the Beatles. I love Nirvana, (I also like the Beatles) but there is no such thing as the best band ever.
