[Closed] 20 years? Seems like yesterday

I see ... a dead man.

Time flies ...

Another blink and 20 years will be gone again.

😯

Territorial Pissings, all the way

I listened to In Utero today. Rape Me is probably one of my favourite songs from that album. Though Heart Shaped Box is a good one. All Apologies too. In fact I like them all 🙂 Otherwise I wouldn't bother commenting on this thread.

20 years was yesterday.
I watched The Damned and various other groups in 1976...

...and they all beat bloody Nirvana into a cocked hat!

They are good?

Probably Lithium (although Nevermind deserves to be listened to in its entirety).

Or Monkey Wrench.

Oddly enough, I've had Doll Parts as an earworm for the last two days...

Lulu did their best song better.

Purely from a musical (and mercenary) perspective,

Without what happened we wouldn't have had the Foo Fighters. I appreciate how game-changing Nirvana were, but Dave and Taylor are lightning in a bottle.

He was mesmerising live (except) in sheffield when his voice went.
Sad.

Quite scary really. 20 years ago next month since the passing of Ayrton Senna.

Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam....almost as good as the vaselines

Drain You on Nevermind.

...Doll Parts as an earworm...

I saw Hole at Glastonbury a few years back. Courtney Love was such a performer on the stage. Absolutely brilliant.

Foo Fighters are a joke pop group. Shite personified.

Nirvana were good though. Never let a drummer become a front man. As a drummer mesel.

Breed.

Without what happened we wouldn't have had the Foo Fighters. I appreciate how game-changing Nirvana were, but Dave and Taylor are lightning in a bottle.

Whereas the Foo Fighters leave me cold. Funny old thing musical taste, isn't it?

One of my favourite bands in my youth and still stand the test of time. I asked my parents for a nirvana t shirt one Christmas , will never forget taking it out of the cellophane to find it said 'fudge packin, crack smokin, satan worshipping, mother ****er on the back. My dear mother took that present back to the shop pretty sharpish Boxing Day

All Apologies.

He's dead? Nevermind.

Foo Fighters are a joke pop group. Shite personified.

love them all but negative creep and Mr Moustache come to mind.

Saw Nirvana a couple of times, once supporting Tad/Mudhoney at Edwards in Brum, next at Reading in the afternoon.

I thought he was an awful frontman, totally lacking in charisma. Mudhoney blew them off the stage, and in my opinion they should have been the ones to get massive. Suppose they didn't write poppy tunes like nirvana.

I warm to dive Grohl when I see him interviewed, but I don't really like Foo Fighters.

Janes Addiction on the other hand....now there was a band.

Musical taste?

Some people have it and some don't, I suppose. 😉

Hole - Violet

Never clicked with me. Too pop(ish).

I played "Ten" by Pearl Jam again the other day...

I liked Nirvana a lot, some great songs but their legacy was more about bringing the grubby, dirty indie kids to the mainstream rather than the music.

Of the various types of self righteous saddo who inhabit this place, I find the music snobs the most pathetic.

The sneering superiority displayed over what can only ever be a subjective individual preference
says more about you tnan your collection of import rarities ever can.

Anyway, for me, anything from Unplugged, just a wonderful, heartbreaking album.

Sliver for me.

Also love a Where a Did You Sleep Last Night on unplugged.

Lithium always reminds me of Novoselic's fluffed bass toss at the mtv awards
