Incesticide and Bleach are great. Can't say the same about Nevermind or In Utero.

Most of the people who think Nirvana is overrated have only listened to Nevermind or a few of the singles.

Nirvana is influential. Good band but definitely not the greatest as everyone says. On the flip-side, there are haters of Nirvana, they blame the band for ruining music. These are probably the worst elitists on planet earth.

A good band, yes. Overrated, yes. But what annoys me most is the large part of their fan base that seems to think Nirvana is the best band ever, and that everyone who thinks otherwise is wrong.

It would have been cool if he died before he wrote Smells Like Teen Spirit, that way my ears would have never came into contact with that shit-eating song.

it's just cos he died at 27, like jim morrison, jimmy hendrix, janis joplin .. that's the age to die to be famous in rock(why otherwise aren't layne -34- and anderw wood -24- not as famous? ;p)

Kurt's suicide do play a part of Nirvana's succsess today, but only a small one. Nirvana was sooo huge when he still lived, but I guess that many people today don't know what Nirvana is, but then they hear about Kurt Cobain's tragic end of life, and decides to give his music a listen.

shut up you ass. They wrote amazing music, and for it's time it was redefining. His suicide has nothing to do with it, but it's every dumbasses favorite excuse.

Genius? Hardly. They definately had their moments, and Cobain (may he rest in peace) wrote a bunch of great songs, but I don't see anything exeptional about them that would raise them above such "rivals" of the Seattle generation as Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains. It just seems that when the leading man dies, the band somehow becomes holy and no criticism is allowed.
