Considered by many one of the greatest rock bands of all time. They had raw lyrics and their guitars were never tuned, but thats what made them good. They didnt have to use tons of little machines to play their music. Tragically, the front man of Nirvana killed himself of an overdose of drugs. He was in some ways mentally ill, it wasn't that he couldn't handle fame, it was that he couldn't handle success. If you read his biography it will tell you all about his childhood and how horrible it was.
Nirvana is a grunge band from Seattle in the early 90's.

The best band of the last 20 years. Pretty much put the word "grunge" into the world's musical lexicon, and made sure that for a few wonderful years, we could listen to something that wasn't commercial, over-produced crap. Nirvana was music as it is supposed to be. It didn't sound like it had been recorded, and then put through countless machines and computers to make sure it sounded just right. It sounded like the band picked up their instruments, turned on a mic, and recorded as they played. And thank you, Nirvana, for ending the period of misery that was '80s glam metal.
Nirvana's Unplugged in New York album is excellent and should be listened to by everyone. And I'm so sick of people saying that Smells Like Teen Spirit is their best song.

A skilless band headed by Kurt Cobain. Nirvana is the definition of "overrated".

Impossible since the definition of overrated is Gn'R and their shitty guitarist.

Kurt sucked at guitar, and his vocals, although easy to like, were crap.

Slash sucked at guitar.Kurt was better than Slash at guitar.He also sang and wrote lyrics and Nirvana SOUNDED GOOD unlike that god awful fucking faggot HAIR BAND Gn'R which is a band for faggots.And if Kurt's vocals were easy to like then why not fucking like them then? Gosh you're fickle.

The worse part is that there are teenyboppers that think Nirvana is so undergroud and cool, and advirtise that they love nirvana/kurt cobain everywhere they go.Marc: Omg nirvana is so kvlt.

Why does it matter what other people think? If the music is good then it's fuckin good.YOU sound like a fuckin teenybopper.

Matt: No, Nirvana sucks ass, Kurt Cobain cant play guitar worth shit.

Better than Slash who sucks and is seriously overrated,especially since he was from a shit band that SUCKED SHIT and sounded like fuckin SHIT.FUCK Gn'R in the ASS!

Marc: But it doesnt matter, Nirvana is so und3rground. Im cool by liking them, unlike the idiots that

Yeah,whatever.You care what other people think instead of caring about music.You're a fuckin poser.GO TO HELL.
Nirvana while not the best band ever were certainly one of the best modern bands along with SUBLIME and LBDA and GREEN DAY.
