Great band. Not sure what you're on about, though...

You need to go record shopping more.

Nirvana are my favourite band, virtually the only band I listen to.Kurt was a very deep lyricist and a great songwriter.My favourite song is sappy.

And you gotta be under the age of 21 if you consider Nirvana to be old school.
I think you'll find most people here listened to the Melvins, Pixies and Dinosaur, Jr. (you know, the bands Kurt were influenced by!!!) before you were even in junior high, so show some respect, chief.

Cobain is a crap lyricist. Just compare him to some of the great bands and you will see he sucks.
Grunge is crap.

Wasn't Nirvana who created the grunge music?
I like Nirvana, but if it weren't for Kurt's death, today they would be just another Ace of Base.

All I'm saying is that Nirvana was never original. It was a media product which just happened to represent the specific average semi-depressed American youth in the early 90's. Kurt's death maintained the mytical aura, which would probably be dissipated if he was alive, because someday the old rebel formula would eventually vanish.

Who put out the commandment, about 6 months ago, to massively increase airplay of Nirvana? Is this some Clear Channel Communications corporate mandate? I can't turn around without hearing them on every station.

This kills me. Nirvana played a style of music that the media labelled grunge. They didn't create "grunge". And Nirvana can't even be really lumped into the same pile as Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
One of the greatest bands ever. Top ten easy. Rest in peace Kurt.

Nirvana totally ripped of the Pixies. Just listen to Territorial Pissing, it's the greatest Pixies song not by the Pixies.
Not that they weren't a great band in their own right, but they are greatly overrated. Sonic Youth and the Pixies were more important in terms of body of work and innovation.
