who likes or dislikes nirvana

I liked "Bleach" and "Nevermind" but not much after that. Maybe because they became successful. Alot of good bands hit it big mainstream wise and then start putting out crap due to record label requirements, newfound pussy, etc. etc.

Besides I'm a Washingtonian so I'm required to like them and vote for Cris Novoselic every time he runs for office.

 

There are also bands who make crap music, then make it big, and then keep making crap music...much like Nirvana.

 

Most "Dislikes" are from the twentysomethings that were barely old enough to remember Nirvana. Hell, I remember when Cobain was living on the street corner near my house(Okay, not really-but he did).

 

I'm sorry that I'm not the right age by your standards to know what music sounds good and requires talent and what doesn't. Age has nothing to do with good music.

 

Whoa there Chatty Cathy, it was just an observation not the rule. Don't take everything so personal. In fact, I didn't know what your age was since I didn't see it listed below your avatar so for you to be included in my observation was purely coincidental.

 

I liked the band Nirvana, and have a couple of their cd's. I remember playing the hell outta those cd's, and practicing to some of the song on my drums.
But having said that I really don't care a whole lot about Kirk, there is no reason why he needed to kill himself. If the drugs played a part in it then he should have not been taking the drugs in the first place.
I think he was somewhat of a prima donna and very immature, which I guess is common with a person in his situation. I'm mad that his daughter grew up without a dad and his wife having to deal with this whole situation.

But I'm kinda tired of these band threads though, I think they are pointless. Nirvana doesn't exist anymore and that is something we can all agree on. We bark back and fourth on personal opinions, pointless.

 

I feel compelled to "weigh-in" on the above.

1) There are atleast 10 bands I can name off the top of my head that have always made crap music, made it big and continue to produce and release shit music.

2) Being a "twentysomething" doesn't make a damn bit of difference that Nirvanas music sounds like it was produced on a budget of eleventeen dollars, and Kurt Cobain sounded like a whiny bitch (as mentioned by another poster in this thread).

3) I'd rather listen to oldies, than any of the mainstream shit they play on the FM rock stations. FM radio is a pile of shit these days. They shove the shittiest music down our throats, and over play it.

4) When you make a generalization about "twentysomethings", the "twentysomethings" are going to take offense. If I made a generalization regarding "geriatrics", I'd bet the older members would take offense.

I wouldn't do that because we have alot of fan-friggin-tastic older members like Dave a.k.a OTG or OldTacomaGuy. Check him out, Dave is rad.

 

Like, I can't help it, it is the music I grew up on. The early 90's rock is still my favorite.

 

1) That's your opinion, I bet the success of some of the bands you're thinking of would say otherwise.

2)He said it was just an observation... you even quoted it.

3) Still just your opinion.

4) Again, it's an observation, not a generalization. If you read it the wrong way that's your own fault.

 

I had a feeling you would have some image to go along with this, Benopause.

That me be just my opinion, but I'm entitled to it...just like everyone else.

 

I love Nirvana. It was my only escape from the outside world. I listened to Nirvana for 4 years strait, it got me through high school! Kobain spoke to me through his lyrics, even if the shant he was talkin about made no sense at all it was soothing to me. At the end of my freshman year i became very ill and was diagnosed as having bi-polar disorder.
From then on being on a never ending roller coaster of emotions, Kobain was there through his music. I was in and out of depression at the time. Even though Kobain is nolonger with us, it drove his music even deeper into my life.
To me he was a savior in disguise, and i'll never forget his music ever.
Even today, if i need an upper, i'll pop in some of Kobains work.
I hold nothing against people who hate Nirvana, u have your own opinion and that's what makes people human.
I do think i may have went overboard here and may have bored you, (Oh well, whatever, Nevermind. (Kurdt Kobain)).

 

It was produced on very little-well at least "Bleach" was and I think was released on the Sub Pop label.

For all of those that have not listened to "Bleach" whether you like or dislike Nirvana at least give it a shot. It's rough but who wants to listen to a bunch of perfectly mixed and cleaned up music anyway?

The old crustaceans on this board are too slow to come up with a response quick enough to complain. You know how hard it is to think, type and gum your oatmeal at the same time?

 

they're ok, i just never got why they were such a big deal

 

Unless im at a concert I actually do want to listen to perfectly mixed music

 

And because you don't like MY opinion doesn't mean you need to neg rep me... I'm entitled to mine also right?

 

man i dont, musics gotten too sterile. i love the sound of music recorded in the 60's and 70's. its got a much warmer sound. hell, you can hear the squeek of the base pedal when bonham plays in zep. music has gotten to "perfect" and over produced.

 

stop crying...its NEUTRAL rep.

We dont have negative rep anymore.

I totally agree.
