Alright ladies and germs, i see the whole Nirvana issue has received some attention. First i would like to say the obvious, i really enjoyed Nirvana. I know there are many people out there who did, as well as many who didn't. As for what you say about Kurt Cobain not doing anything for music, you're right, partially. As i have stated before, Nirvana was not just made up of Kurt Cobain alone. It angers me when he gets all the credit, while Nirvana would have been nothing without Dave Grohl and Chris Novaselic also. However, Nirvana did change the music scene, as well as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Radiohead(best band ever, imo). Now don't get me wrong, i loved the 80's era, hell, i grew up on all the new wave and other genres of the 80's. It is truly one of my favorite era's. I also love the 50's, 60's, and 70's eras as you do Violator. However, as most eras do, its welcome was overdue, and the whole spandex, big hair power rock bands got old quick. What bands like Nirvana, and the ones i mentioned above did was say, hey, we're tired of all this glamour shit, it isn't real. What is real, is that life is not all fun and games, life can be a fuckin burden for those who have problems in life. Nirvana spoke to a new generation of people who felt lost, confused, and unaware of what their role in society was, if they had one. Now, i know many say that all Nirvana did was wine about their problems, but i believe that it was true artistic expression, of anger, angst, disgust, and rebellion, just like the spirit of the 60's and 70's. Now, you say Nirvana ruined the music scene for today. I disagree and say that crappy bands and singers like Nsync, Backstreet boys, Britney, and all this poppy bullshit nonsense that is only concerned with image is what has ruined music. These days there are still good bands. You just have to look harder for them because all of the crap. We may disagree, but i do respect your opinions, and the opinions of all the people on here. Keep on rockin and rollin!!
