Seether VS Nirvana

[FireHawk]

I am not sure why people say that to be honest I think its because he was at top of his game and died people will remember that.

Smashing Pumpkins when they flutterd with Grunge were far better at it then Nirvana ever was, same with Sonic Youth when they finnaly decided to do it with 'Dirty', the are plenty of others that are better then Nirvana but Nirvana most deffinatly did have the largest impact.

 

The reason why I say this about Nirvana, is because, I was saying the exact some discussion with my brother in law tonight. Is that you can have bands that can change what people think, but to create a seperate genre of rock and to appeal to millions of people/teenagers, is a great leap.

 

Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth and Pearl Jam never reached Nirvana's impact on the social context of that era.

And that Woody is exactly what I said, stop poking at arguments from nothing and actually READ the posts. I said the were better bands at doing grunge but Nirvana has by far the largest impact.

 

They didnt create the genre though, thats a bunch of balls, as I said in one of my earlier posts... they introduced it to the mainstream... I still perfer Nirvanas main 2 influences... Sonic Youth and Pixies.

Don't forget REM also influenced Nirvana. (And they started the community with Black Flag that Sonic Youth turned into a genre.) But Michael Stipe was such an influence on Kurt that he became godfather of Francis Bean & they were in talks of doing a collaboration just days before he died (Stipe brought it up because he knew Kurt really wanted to & he wanted to save Kurt's life). And of course, the Beatles were his influence. Damn near everybody's influence. But if you said Lennon would have played something one way, Kurt got excited & did it thusly.

 

But I am definitely with you, I'd much rather listen to Sonic Youth or the Pixies. Even back then I didn't see why people liked Nirvana so much. Kurt wasn't a prolific songwriter, not to me at least, and they really didn't do anything new.... just helped usher us out of hair metal. Of course, a lot of the people that stick up for Nirvana, I've found, idolize Sid Vicious or listen to GG Allin. And I have a mouthful to say about those wastes of sperm.

Nirvana fans are very clichem, yip

 

Sid Vicious is so overrated

yeah sid is over rated, Glen Matlock is much better and cooler lol. will say though as much of a nirvana fan I am, I hate the people who go around and say they like nirvana and there is no one better then nirvana. Even I will admit that there are much better bands. nirvana was good for what they were.
