Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Because we all love this debate.I think Kurt was not only a great songwriter, but a true American folk artist. Nirvana's music is essential to the history of this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I'm not sure if their music is essential...but they did expose punk rock (ideaology) to the mainstream.and yeah...I like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I find them absolutely horrible. And before people start with the "People here just don't like them because of the Axl thing" stuff, let me say that I, for one, knew about Nirvana a bit before I knew about Gn'R and I still don't understand the feud between Axl and Kurt and don't care either way, especially because Axl has a feud with just about everyone.

Nirvana's music is essential to the history of this country.dumb place for this question, everyone hates him because he fought with axl verbally. i dont like the music much, some of it is okay. i dont like him as a person because i thought he was a hypocrite and a dumb wannabe anarchist - rebel without a clue. not very intelligent and he hid behind a "fuck society" attitude that was only hailed because of when it took place. it was a matter of place and time.

worldwideboss Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I like them very much, but I used to idolize them.When you're 12 or 13, I think you tend to like punkier music than when you grow a little. At least I do. I still enjoy listening to Nirvana, but I do it just once in a while, except for the Unplugged album, which I listen to quite frequently.As I grew up, I returned to my GN'R roots that I had left a while back. I am now more into hard rock, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the Seattle trio's music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adnan Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Before anyone claims my opinions are based on Axl's, I heard of and hated Nirvana far before I even got into Gn'R's style of music, let alone them. I cannot see anything at all great about the cryptic, repetitive, boring, unimaginative, idiotic, idiosyncratic lyrics. Kurt Cobain was an awful guitarist, period. His riffology and soloing was exhaustingly boring. The bass work is average at best. Dave Grohl, however, is a joy to listen to and one of the best drummers in history as far as I'm concerned. As a group, Nirvana made depressing, idiosyncratic, annoying music, which I don't wish to listen to. I like some songs like "Heart Shaped Box" and "Come As You Are", but the majority of the material is exhaustingly bad. And as a human being, Kurt was nothing, a filthy drug whore who didn't give a shit about his kids and put a bullet through his brain. Nobody should idolize somebody like that. Nirvana are easily the most overestimated and over-popularized group in history. End of rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Famous Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 not the biggest fan..but I own a few Nirvana albums, and pop them in..from time to time..but, you could say "I like them."The same with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably prefer them to Alice In Chains and Soundgarden. I never liked Pearl Jam and I like Stone Temple Pilots alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malicious Matt Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Nirvana is good, and I like alot of their songs. (Heart Shaped Box and Rape Me come to mind.) But some of their songs are a little boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
