Anyone remember Ian Curtis of Joy Division? By comparison, Nirvana seems like silly pop music by an over-rated hack.

I want to go on record as saying that I think Nirvana was one of the most important bands in Rock N Roll history. The author's obsevation that the band's success was a result of a unique confluence of events is particularly asinine. The same could be said about any popular cultural phenominon.

Have you seen the movie "24 Hour Party People"? It's about the whole Manchester/Factory Records scene, including Joy Division. The guy playing Curtis is amazing.
