My clumsy homage to all the KC tributes which had that song playing over them despite being released several years earlier
WE WERE ON A PLAIN
To counter this, itâs all very 90âs 'tude, super produced and commodified. The edge you are hearing has been co-opted.
Partly responsible for all the bad stuff in culture now like marvel movies and people believing being a geek makes them individual
hate to say it but it will reflect badly on the boards if they score higher than beyonce & buffy
In year 9 in a music lesson, everyone had to go into groups and work on learning then performing a cover of any song. Everyone else did like Yellow Submarine or Dancing Queen and me and my mates did Lounge Act. Edgy as fuck.
Theyâre better than Beyonce but not better than Buffy, so I agree with this 50%
I see what youâre saying Shrewbo, but at the moment it does seem like genuine nostalgia is inspiring the voting. There are a lot of early-middle-aged white male nerds here, and I think Nirvana were the soundtrack to a lot of our teenage years. Doesnât look great, I agree, but I think many have genuine reasons.
One of those bands I tried to like because everyone liked them, never got it though. Few decent tunes but canât imagine sticking an album on.
I donât think you do hate to say it, Shrewbie.
Always thought of them as a bit of a whiny joke when I was growing up so never really bothered. I reckon Kurt Cobain was a good lad though and could write some catchy stuff.
Some will just prefer the music of Nirvana to that of Beyoncé too, regardless of nostalgia, and not scoring for any reason beyond that.
Letâs have one of these threads without you doing this new schtick of yours please
they mean the world to me. i donât listen to them much anymore but his voice always kills me when i do. the first time i heard them it was like a road to damascus moment. soon as that bridge riff to the chorus of heart shaped box locks in with the drum build. it meant so much to a 13 year old freak who didnât really fit in with the big boys in the area i grew up in.
theyâre probably the only band i like where i donât care at all when people take shots at them, weirdly, because i connect with them so personally itâs like mere criticism means nothing to me. does that make sense?
anyway i gave them a 5, unsurprisingly. and i like beyonce too so no ârockist white boyâ attacks please. lets keep it friendly!
Bamnam doesnât like them guys
I scored both a 4 so Iâm pious as fuck about this.
Itâs weird to think that if youâre under 40, maybe even 45, you couldnât have liked Nirvana at the time. Feels like theyâre the most important band of our generation, but in reality they were our parentsâ generation for the most part.
Gonna expand on that at all?
Maybe when someone comes up who isnât mad overhyped
Pretty much ^this. Had been a metal kid for awhile and was just getting into alternative, and remember the first time I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit it was like a bomb going off in my head. Their whole rise from alternative band to dominating the main stream was unbelievably rapid and exciting. Saw them at Reading '92. Had tickets for their Brixton show on pretty much the day that he killed himself (still have the ticket). Donât listen to them much these days (too much emotional baggage attached) but the songs/albums are pretty much all flawless /5
