Before Nirvana hit there was Headbanger's Ball. After "Nevermind" there was 120 Minutes.

If you dont know what all that means, you don't really get what music was like back for us growing up. They changed it all. Alot of things happened since and before.

You just dont know what it meant to get rid of all that hair band crap and get real bands playing on TV for two hours every Sunday night. It was an event.

I am rambling like Lester Bangs now!

I will give you this, I'd rather listen to Nirvana or Pearl Jam for days on end than be subjected to a single song by Def Leppard, Van Halen, Whitesnake etc. etc. etc...

First time I ever heard Nirvana was on 120 min. Used to watch it every Sunday. Think it started like 86 or 88
I know what you mean.

Nirvana is vastly overrated. Their music and riffs were simplistic, the vocals weren't very good and the lyrics were the ramblings of a drug addict that weren't creative or "brilliant" at all.

That's just my take, though. Never had a taste for the grunge movement...

i still agree with the others that the grunge music was going to take over with or without Nirvana, they just happened to be the band that hit it big first.

Overrated after Kurt's death... but maybe underrated before??

Good band, but not near as ground-breaking and/or glorified as they should have been after Kurt's death...

I still bought their albums and enjoyed the music though.

Nirvana Unplugged might be in my top 5
albums ever....

Easily one of the worst live recordings of all-time.

Kurt Cobain is the most over-hyped rock star of all-time, nobody will ever be able to convince me otherwise.

Hell the Beatles are simplistic lyrically and musically "I wanna hold your hand" but considered the greatest of all time.

Don't smite me bham (or others), but I'm not a huge fan of the Beatles either. I thought George Harrison's solo work was awesome, but that's about the only element of the Beatles I like.

I'm with you brother - not a Beatles fan.

I was just saying that simplistic isn't the best indicator of impact.

I play guitar and I scratch... Lake of Fire (as originally done by the Meat Puppets or covered by Nirvana) is easier to play on guitar than it is to sound even mediocre with a set of turntables.

Not sure where you got this info. Never owned a set of turntables. Have played guitar for well over a decade now.

What does the setting have to do with the fact that Cobain sounded like he was being strangled while singing?

Nothing, you win. Either you appreciate the music, or you don't. You are obviously the latter. :hi:

Not his usual key to sing in.

If you are picking on Unplugged, that says all I need to know about where you are coming from.

Personally, as you see I am a Dylan fan, it gets so old hearing people say the guy can't sing.

It reminds me of Fight Club when they are on the bus right beside a GAP style advertisment, and Tyler asks---"Is that what a man is suppose to look like?"

Nirvana's entire Unplugged was one take. The only group ever (besides Dylan) who didn't do multiples. Warts and all buddy.

Co, you got any love for the Infidels record? Underrated Zimmerman IMO.

The difference?

Dylan is an amazing song-writer, Cobain wasn't.

I Know "Lake Of Fire" was out of his range but that's the point, he didn't have any.

Hence the mumbling on verses and screaming on hooks.

I don't look for perfection out of live perfomances, no matter the setting and what have you, it wasn't a great performance to me.

Doesn't mean you guys can't like it.

I just can't see it.

It was said to be a "top 5 album of all-time", that is lunacy, I could list 100 albums that are better, I'm sure many on here could do the same.
