As the thread starter, I get to post as many pluses and minuses as I like per day. Did I forget to mention that?

Sorry, must have copied the wrong post.

I'll send myself a pm to straighten me out.

I have to say, I'm surprised to see Pearl Jam doing so well. I mean, they're a good band and all, and I personally like them, but I would have expected them to go down way before Nirvana.

I'm loving the duel between the + Nirvana and the - Nirvana people. I have to believe it's more like stubborness than anything else. Nirvana was not that good, folks. And they certainly didn't change the face of music as we know it today, unless you want to enshrine Curt Cobain as more than another musician who took too many drugs and eventually destroyed himself, in his case perhaps more dramatically than Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, whose deaths weren't quite as messy or intentional.

It's not about Nirvana being great, it's just about popularity. You can't tell people to not like a band just because they're not the most talented or influential. It's a popularity contest, and some bands have their followers...

VF21 · May 23, 2009

I'm not telling people to like or not like anyone. I'm simply stating my opinion, which happens to be that Nirvana is over-rated.

Look at it this way. A lot of people love to disagree with me, so I might actually have saved Nirvana.

D-Mass · May 23, 2009

VF21 said:

I respectfully disagree. I'm not stubborn...I just like them significantly more than Bruce Springsteen.

To me, they were (and are) good. They may not have changed music the way we know it today (although I wish they had), but they certainly changed music for a solid decade. I have never idolized Cobain at all and have never seen him as some sort of martyr. I just like their music, gave them a plus one, and that's it. Perhaps any band under 30 points right now should just be eliminated...then the Beatles, U2, Marley, and AC/DC can duke it out and save us all a lot of time.
