never understood the appeal, but it's wild how a lot of black people who like Nirvana, really like their music
so i think that's dope in a way

Its the pain in his voice. It resonates

Strive for rulership not equality, black man.
Interesting thread
Facelift> Ten > Nevermind
Alice in Chains > Nirvana
And today is also 17 years since Layne Staley died.
AiC>Nirvana
but it is what it is.
That's that MTV effect. MTV was a HUGE proponent of a lotta acts cross all genres being more popular that their betters.
MTV = Right place right time

You met courtney
Twice, actually. Smelt bad those two times; like she had that not so stereotypical 'wet dog' smell white folk have when they get all nautical and refuse to shower properly.
I met her through this blind broad I was sleeping with (lol, I'm serious) who knew I liked rock music and she sorta setup a meet since she knew folk that knew her and they all hung in the same circle. I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit awe struck at the time, since she was an infamous celeb that was intimate with a very famous rock musician.The second time she helped us get into a venue that had Slayer on the bill and we had no tickets. She was nice enough and all things considered, I would have tried to get closer to her during that brief novelty period where she seemed really surprised that a breh from the Caribbean (She thought I was Jamaican, obviously.
) liked and knew about Heavy Metal and Grunge as opposed to Bob Marley and fukking living colour.

If it wasn't for Courtney dissing Gwen Stefani, there wouldn't be a "hollaback Girl"
so she contributed something.
I guess.
No it wasn't. Nevermind is a classic album. So is Ten. Don't know about superknown though.
Yall hating on Cobain though.

Overrated, moderately talented, and lucky enough to have a blond, blue-eyed lead singer. Nirvana's music is some of the first music guitar players are cursed to have to learn.

You ain't lyin' man. The amount of bands that got that huge push and stayed in rotation off of MTV playing their shyt was major for their initial success when record sales were driven by media presence and influenced by billboard charts garnered from such. shyt actually opened my eyes to indie music and lesser known acts on a whole that never got the burn it deserved but made music just as good if not better.

Cobain's shyt was mainly basic chords played in catchy distorted grooves using standard tuning and him being blond and blue eyed had little to do with their popularity since there were MANY of his contemporaries who looked just as blond and blue eyed as him but pewtered out from drugs, self destruction and obscurity back in them days.
While I still maintain that any musican list that features Cobain higher than the first ten on the bottom rung of it and says "Best" instead of "Popular" is damn near irrelevant, his music is actually really simple to learn how to play and garner some proficiency when it comes to chord progression and playing in key and all that, which ain't bad at all.
If you like grunge in ANY shape or form and ain't listened to this album or anything else from the Garden, you're doing yourself a major disservice. Like, fukkin' SERIOUSLY. Head down shyts on damn near anything Kobain made and don't even get me started on Alice.
Nobody is hating on Cobain..all 3 are classics
But superuknown is better by far. Dirt also

I'd be hard pressed to argue with you since I'm a stan (Still prefer Alice in Chains over all though). Dude in his prime and even after it had an awesome voice and his songs along with the rest of the band's skill....just fukkin' made them a force to behold, man. It's so sad breh succumbed to those demons we thought he had outlived along with Vedder and just committed that after a show. May he, Layne and Cobain rest in peace.
