Nirvana Anyone?
ASturge:
Holy god I am quoting that.
Merkava:
--- Quote from: El Opium ---I must say that I currently have no particular love for nirvana but I'm not going to downplay the influence thay had on my musical taste. Anyway, Kurt downplayed his own band and told people to go listen to bands who had influenced his. I took his advice and became a fan of the following bands:
Sonic Youth
Wipers
Meat Puppets
Flipper
The Pixies
One of my friends is a Courtney Love fan, which is amusing when we meet nirvana freaks.

Where's Teenage Fanclub? Didn't Kurt say they were the best band ever? :D
I like Nirvana. Now that I really listen to it, I see where people get off calling them brilliant. Kurt was an alright songwriter, but putting him up on a pedestal so high is just silly.
ProphetHobo:
--- Quote from: TrueNeutral ---I always preferred Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. Nirvana, to me, was always the weaker of 'the Seattle Sound'. Doesn't mean I don't like it. I've recently, for some reason, gotten back into a grunge phase so I think I'll like all grunge. Yay Mudhoney.
Not sad that Nirvana broke up. Without that happening, I don't think The Foo Fighters would be where they are today, and I'm a big Foo Fighters fan.
Also, Kurt was kind of an asshole. Not to say that Cornell and Vedder weren't.

I also like some of Soundgarden's work and a lot of Alice in Chains.
Sorry if I brought up a subject of conflict, I'm still pretty new here. I pretty much just took the band playing on Winamp at the moment and made a topic. Now we can only wonder what would have happened had I been listening to 46 and 2 at the time.
El Opium:
The list I made was just bands I started listening to as a result of hearing about them via nirvana, I'm sure there are plenty of others that Kurt vouched for whom I never picked up on I can think of Mudhoney, The Melvins and the Vaselines off the top of my head.
Edder:
Personally, I love Nirvana. They're amazing. But I think that almost every band is amazing, so that doesn't make them too special.
Overall, they were a great addition to an awesome era.
