Nirvana - Genius or Overrated?

The MTV live acoustic show they did is their best stuff ever though.
I couldn't agree with you more. It is, by far, my favorite Nirvana album.
Dead just like him.
Oh, so it was killed by Courtney Love, too?
That's exactly my point shalako. He made grunge big and then it died off with him, because he was the best. Nobody has gotten close to a genre creation/destruction like
Kurt did.
This is true, but I don't think anyone's ever really tried. I think most of the bands that formed since then sought to be seen separately from Nirvana.
Too morbid to talk about the 27 Club?
Hendrix and Janis Joplin were also amazing
Jim Morrison.
'Nuff said.
I don't think of grunge as a genre as much as I think of it as a label based on how the bands looked. It was really just a mostly regional explosion of good alternative
rock bands. And I wouldn't really say that Nirvana is over rated as much as I would say that it's not surprising the grunge band most influenced by pop music became the most popular.

I don't think they've one of the top 3 biggest impacts on music. On the 90s? Of course. 2000s? Yeah. But overall? Off the top of my head I think of the first polyphonic compositions, churches starting to accept the use of tritones, and the invention of the six string guitar.
Yeah, I wouldn't even say The Beatles were one of the top 3 biggest impacts on music, and they made a much bigger impact than Nirvana.

Nirvana - Genius or Overrated?

No poll, let's just discuss it!

Personally, I like Nirvana, but I do not think they are as great as some people do.

I much prefer Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden to them.

So...thoughts?
