Wherever I was, Nirvana was “kids’ music” when they hit the airwaves. Some kinda cultural disjunction, I guess.

Oh I know you don’t, I’m just kidding with you. I like to troll these threads because some of these folks have their panties in a twist over grunge rock for some reason. :)
I suspect it’s mainly people who grew up in the early 80s or in this decade. They’re jealous. ;)

Geeze...
Vs. is a modern masterpiece now? Any album with "Glorified G" or "Rats" should be automatically disqualified from such consideration.
There are a handful of decent tracks on there, but let's not overstate the case. It ain't exactly Exile on Main Street.

I was a 23 at the time, so I was definitely still a kid. :)

It isn’t. Please don’t compare Vedder to Jagger, because it wouldn’t turn out well for the old peacocking fruitcake. :)

Q. What was the last thing to go through Kurt Cobain’s brain?
A. Powder burns.

One of THE most creative rockers ever...sorta ironic that he would have hated the "memorial" they're making to him in Aberdeen. Although, if they had a youth center there back in the eighties, he prolly wouldn't have had to sleep under a bridge.
And contrary to what some others say on this thread (everyone's a critic, eh?) Nirvana's music DOES hold up.

Are you telling me that youve actually listened to Vs. from beginning to end and believe its bad music?
Nope, never listened to the whole album of Vs. I almost did once - I was stuck in a room for a week with only Vs. and Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits vol 1 to listen to, but I chose to listen to Barry Manilow 50 times instead.

I will admit that Barry Manilow is probably the better album to soak your dentures to. ;)

You are NOT. I don’t even know if you’re older than me period! If you are, it’s not by much.

I think Smashing Pumpkins
and Soundgarden has
have held up the best.
Fixed it. I like Nirvana, and nothing against Soundgarden, but the Pumpkins rule.

Well, I can end part of that debate: Pearl Jam has always sucked and U2 is severely overrated, with Bono being quite possibly the most annoying pop singer ever. ********************
Agreed. Led Zeppelin, however, remains one of the best.

To: fr_freak
I didn’t like Pearl Jam for a long time because for whatever reason the post-grunge bands tried to follow the PJ template instead of the Nirvana template. And even more than that every singer wanted to be Eddie Vedder. I think their music is very good, but they inspired more crap than any band outside of Zeppelin.

When my full senility kicks in, it’s nice to know that I can switch from Manilow to Pearl Jam and avoid having to hear so many confusing notes and chords. Eddie Vedder was nice enough to limit himself to two chords per song, making his music even easier to understand than the theme to “Barney”.
