Nirvana was a good band. I think people who treat them as some kind of hero need to get over it, but they wrote catchy music. Guitar's weak, but it was played by the lead singer so he's partially excused. I can't understand people who say Nirvana's crap, on a rock standard it beats most of the crap that gets put out today amist the sea of emo/punk-pop garbage that dominates radio. Even the metal that gets put out today sucks. Normally there's something to use as a golden standard for music, something that sets one song apart from another, like interesting riffs or something. Most metal music today is just some jerk strumming random chords as loud as he can and reading some crapy poetry of his while clearing his throat or something (what *are* they doing?), they might as *well* bring back the hair bands.
But Kurt Cobain certainly didn't invent grunge, he just put it on MTV. There were a lot more interesting bands that came before him.
