I don’t care if he ruined rock or if he was a musical genius. All I know is that he was a chicken shit coward 17 years ago today.

Most overrated rock artist ever.
The Foo Fighters are a much better band than Nirvana.

I guess I’m not the right age. I enjoy a wide variety of popular music, but I have to say that I never understood the whole Nirvana thing. Didn’t seem special to me at all.

A very good songwriter, but IMHO there’s only been two geniuses in rock and roll - Frank Zappa and Brian Wilson.
To: SilvieWaldorfMD

A very good songwriter, I would agree, if only I knew what the hell the words he was singing were.

He was a genius who changed rock forever. But some here are stuck in the 70’s.

I will give Nirvana credit for putting an end to Hair Metal.

Did he ruin Rock, or was he a musical genius?Neither.
However, hearing Nirvana pretty regularly on the radio today, a thought did occur to me; Dave Grohl is the greatest hard rock drummer since John Bonham.
To: SilvieWaldorfMD
I think he was a talented person, but his music never appealed to me, nor did anything about the whole grunge movement. (Why is it cool to look unwashed?)

.... and the question remains: Did he ruin Rock, or was he a musical genius?Are these mutually exclusive propositions?
