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.
To: SilvieWaldorfMD
A very good songwriter, but IMHO there’s only been two geniuses in rock and roll - Frank Zappa and Brian Wilson.
To: SilvieWaldorfMD
not a genius... but i do like the Foo Fighters...

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

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.

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?
To: SilvieWaldorfMD
He was a musical genius. He is from my hometown and he attended school with my brother (in fact my brother still remains good friends with Novoselic) but Kurt was a troubled young man from a depressed, troubled region.
It showed in his music and in his life. Everytime I hear Nirvana, I hear Aberdeen. That music was the cry of hundreds of kids coming of age in Grays Harbor County, Wa to realize their were no more logging jobs for them, no more jobs in the fishing industry and their parents’ hippy/environmental wacko generation had literally driven their kids’ futures away.
Nirvana’s music was the cry of that generation. It was rebellion against depression.

They weren’t even the best Seattle band, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden blew them away.

Being a teen in the late 1980’s early 1990’s who grew up with 80’s rock, I'll never be able to forgive Nirvana and the whole Grunge movement for killing off the big hair bands. I hated everything about them, the look, the sound, the attitude, everything. At least the rock bands of the 80’s were about fast cars, “faster” women and one big party all the time. Nirvana was about what? Life sucks, we're so depressed we can barely get out of bed. We even look like we dressed in drab colors and just got out of a mental ward. Even today, long after grunge has come and thankfully gone, I still race for the off button when one of the songs comes on the radio.

I look it at this way, we got the Foo Fighters out of the deal. A win as far as I am concerned.
