: Whether you like them or not, there is no way all the shit MTV and VH1 and Rolling Stone say whilst having contests to see exactly how far up Cobain's dead rectum they can get their tongues is true. They weren't saviors of rock and roll.
Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they didn't do good for music in general. They DID help change the face of rock when they broke out.
At the time, there was crap. CRAP!
I like some thrash metal, but any of that being more insightful & musically intricate than what Nirvana's done is not even close.
Were they the best ever? I don't think so. But they are amongst them.
