thinking too much
In Utero or Bleach are clearly superior to anything by Foo Fighters.
Make that anything made after 1994.

YEEEEEEEESSSSS get in, just the mention of the Magnet is enough for me
Nirvana are ok, can't say I've ever really listened to them but I can fully see the appeal.
Though sadly they were, unknowingly, partly responsible for the atrocious wave of violently shit music that came out in the 90s and has been getting horrifyingly worse and worse ever since then.

Seconded.
The kids in my school who were into their grunge were fucking nobs and extremely boring to boot.
But
Nirvana was one of the very first non 'ardcore bit of music I got into as a yoot.

Nirvana were good but hype has made them into what they were . The sadly underrated mudhoney on the other hand were just fucking excellent all the time , they were the Stooges of their generation IMO

I actually did like that one song of theirs, 'Frances Farmer will have her revenge on Seattle'.
But speaking generally I can only say, there's something deeply, fundamentally wrong with a society where young people make a hero out of Kurt Cobain.
When I was young my hero was Noel Browne, minister of health in Ireland's 1948 coalition government. A far more positive role model in my opinion.

I was a RAWKER until about 17 when I realised that there was a 1000-1 male to 'female' ratio at most metal gigs, miserable grunger/goths, while at dance tings there were 000s of hunneez, wearing next to nothing, and all smiley and happy and more often than not well up for it without some 20 hour exposition on how important Kurt/Oscar Wilde/Jim Morrison/whoever was to them.

I didn't have any heroes when I was a wee lad.
Still don't really.

Cobain and Nirvana always seem to me to be the epitomy of the ideology that the greatest thing that can happen to a career is dying. If you die, especially in well marketed emotional circumstances, then you're placed as some kind of human deity who was sacrificed Jesus-style. Other examples of posthumous elevation are Elvis, Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Keith Moon, Sid Vicious, 2Pac and Notorious BIG. However the difference are that none of these have experienced the chronic overrating that Cobain has. I bought "Nevermind" due to its cannonisation in all the greatest lists but I can't think of a more overrated album. "....Teen Spirit" is grosely outflanked by the Pixies' "Debaser" and Mudhoney's "Touch Me I'm Sick", but they're not dead. Also if you want a guitar outcast genius' early 90s masterpiece you'd be far better off with My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless".

Nirvana were far, far bigger than the pixies or mudhoney well before he died. He might have been hyped up since he died but that isn't the only reason.

I reckon the Jesus Lizard were closer to the spirit of the stooges.
MO is right. Nirvana were big before he died. Even before that Nevermind used to regularly come up in 'best album ever made' polls.

Nah - he fucked up and killed S&S by over-reaching. Classic 'fall bought on through hubris' story. I have higher standards for those I would look up to and respect.
Besides, the whole notion of heroes is at the heart of why progressive, egalitarian societies won't happen. But that's a a whole other story.
