IMO Nirvana changed the face of rock music forever. i mean its pretty amazing when 3 virtually unknown men from seattle can kill an entire genre of music (80's glam). so it goes without saying to me Nirvana will always be that one band that will stick with me forever.

They changed music. Not a big fan, but AIC, Soundgarden, and Stone Temple Pilots are my favorite bands who are in the genre they created.

...that song was the start of me (and other people I know) actually listening to rock and roll.

...so yeah, it was pretty big.

Nirvana was amazing. Pearl Jam's first two albums were amazing. Alice and Chains was pretty good.

Everything else that followed was crap.

You also were not alive when Nirvana was popular if you believe it was his death that made them popular. Nirvana's first album changed the music industry.

So true Bleach was an amazing album. it was heavy like the punk music before it. but Nevermind and In Utero had a pop feel to it but still maintained the heavy sound. I guess thats why it was so great. Nirvana is most definitely an amazing band and Kurt Cobain was taken far too soon and way too young.

Guy would still be alive in my opinion if A)he had not of become so popular B) not married a witch of a wife.

Their unplugged album was one of the best sets I have ever heard performed.

Umm, there were grunge albums/bands before Bleach/Nirvana.

Screaming Trees - 1985
Melvins - 1985
Soundgarden - 1985/87
Mother Love Bone - 1988
Mudhoney - 1988

Also, Bleach sold less than most of the debut albums by the artists I just listed. Nevermind was as big a deal as it was because of MTV, but Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam had achieved mainstream success by the time that album was out.

good point.
You can also add Big Black and even Neil Young to that list, among many more.

Nirvana pretty much put the nail in the coffin of 80s hair metal, and any band that does that is okay in my book.

You wonna talk about overrated- talk about Pearl Jam.

Yes they did and that's why I like them so much.

I completely disagree with you about Pearl Jam.

In between, leaning towards the overrated side. The Foo Fighters are one of the best, and I don't agree that The Doors are overrated.

the grunge era was definitely one of the best eras in Music history. The writing, music was just amazing. STP, nirvana, pearl jam, alice in chains, soundgarden, temple of the dog were all amazing in their own way.

I'm just glad that the STP singer did not OD. Chris Carnell has one of the best voices ever. Pearl Jam's first 3 albums were incredible.

sadly though we went from pearl jam to hootie and the blow fish. don't know how we regressed that much.

Nirvana influenced bands like Puddle of Mud, Nickelback, Staind, Seether, and all kinds of other crap. Foo Fighters isn't a whole lot to hang your hat on.

And honestly it was better for his and the bands legacy that we went when he did. Just imagine a middle aged overweight Cobain, it just doesn't seem right.

yes there were grunge bands before Nirvana, but they were the ones that made grunge popular and brought it to the mainstream
