Come on, dude. I'm the farthest thing from a Nirvana fan, but even I have to admit that Kurt Cobain showed exceptional judgment when he offed himself. Credit where credit's due.

'cept our common sense when looking at the evidence tells us that Kurt didn't kill himself.

Well, I guess he doesn't even have that going for him, then.

Nirvana was basically the hair metal band of the 80's...just in the 90s...bluprint which struck temporary success and was copied by everyone...Setting the hard rock movemebt back 15 years.]

Nirvana wasn't even the first popular grunge band, much less the first grunge band that everyone copied.

I don't know about that.

If you listen to Facelift by alice in chains or badmotofinger by Sundgarden...hell even Core by STP (sex type thing song rules)...all those are alternative metal records. Only after nirvana did all 3 of those bands become "grunge".

Which other band came out playing grunge, making fun of other genres and "rock stars" and became popular before Nirvana?

Notice how I don't mind pearl jam, despite partly being responsible for influencing creed, nickleback and other train wrecks that came out in late 90s and early 2000s...They played their songs, never made it their business to go insult other bands and types of music. I can pull you amany exmplesof Kurt dissing guns n roses, poison, warrant...

One reason that some bands (like Nirvana) don't seem as remarkable 20 years after they were initially popular is because of how many bands they influenced; and as a result of this, a large portion of what they pioneered was copied to such an extent that it doesn't seem original anymore.

Nirvana is the final heaven reached after a lifetime of meditation and rejection of earthly pleasures.

I as the Buddha Maitreya rejected Nirvana in order to reincarnate and teach it to everyone.

They were just raw, completely unpolished, and I loved their sound. It was so refreshing compared to a lot of the cookie cutter pop crap that was being put out in the early 90's (and still is).

Plus, they knocked Michael Jackson out of the number one spot forever! I will always be greatful to them for that.

Actually early 90s did not have this problem. The biggest music acts when nirvana came out were Guns n Roses an Metallica who are as raw as they come...
