Soundgarden and AIC were 10 times better than Nirvana ever was.

Heck, even the Foo Fighters are better than Nirvana.

Foo Fighters have always been hit-and-miss. The only album I've liked all the way through was the one with 'Stacked Actors' (can't recall the CD title) while the rest were generally dull aside from the singles.

Listen to 'Nevermind,' forgetting any prejudice you may have built up over time, and I think most people would agree that it's a pop-rock masterpiece. The same could be said for 'In Utero,' except for two songs and the order in which the songs were placed, all part of Cobain's design to have 'fake fans' hate it.

I'd agree that Soundgarden and AIC were on average better musicians than Nirvana, but not better songwriters. In that sense, it's like comparing the best of Led Zeppelin to that of the Beatles.

Nirvana's "Nevermind" is probably the best album of the 90's. Notice all the other albums were released before "Nevermind".

I don't agree much with the politics of Rolling Stone, and I won't buy their magazine, but they do know a lot about music.

I'm still looking for the, uh -- who was that again? the "Food Fighters" :)

"...Cobain was a pop lover at heart -- and a Beatlemaniac: Nevermind co-producer Butch Vig remembers hearing Cobain play John Lennon's "Julia" at sessions."

Absolutely. AIC and Soundgarden were the ones worth a damn.

Mother Love Bone was a 100 times better band that Pearl Jam.

The only thing Nirvana did what was worth anything was the Bleach album.
