Nirvana were one of the greatsest bands around in the late 80's to early 90's. If Kurt Cobain hadn't have been MURDERED then we would have been saved from all the crap hip hop and rapper stuff we hear now.
no need for an example i think u get the picture of how good they were.

The GREATEST band ever !!! Now, although some people do not think Kurt Cobain was a good vocalist, he was. Who else can pull off screaming the way he did and make it sound so amazing ? Nirvana is usually classified as grunge although there are some assholes who say "Nirvana was mainstream so they're not grunge." Negative. They are. Cobain recognized that they had become mainstream and supposedly he hated that. If you listen to their songs in order of which they were recorded, you'll notice how they do become somewhat more "popish". But that's okay, all of Nirvana's song are unique and just fucking amazing.

Many people consider themselves fans of Nirvana just because it's cool but they can only name one song. Which would probably be "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Yeah, it was a good song but it's been overplayed so much on radio stations and such. So go and listen to these songs by Nirvana just because they're are the fucking greatest songs ever recorded:
(btw, I'm not listing the wicked popular songs because you should already know those)

- Love Buzz
- Negative Creep
- Rape Me
- Aneurysm
- Been a Son
- Lake of Fire cover
- Sliver
- Where Did You Sleep Last Night
- Breed
- Drain You
- Lounge Act
- Territorial Pissings
- Stay Away
- Oh the Guilt
- Sappy a.k.a. Verse Chorus Verse
- In His Room sometimes confused with Verse Chorus Verse
- Marijuana
some 14 year old little goth douchebag - "I love Nirvana because all the other goths do"

me - "Dude, goths are gay. You don't have to be a goth to listen to Nirvana. Go cut yourself and drown in your miseries but don't dance, kid, don't dance. Goths just can't dance. If there was a gothic bible, dancing would be a sin. Anyways, NIRVANA FUCKING ROCKS !!"

Nirvana were a band that played alternative or "grunge" music in the early 1990s. An alright band, but highly overrated.
There's nothing that Nirvana did that bands like Sonic Youth and Pixies didn't do before them.

The greatest, most talented band, to ever strum a guitar or write a lyric.
All must bow before the might that is Nirvana.

One of the most overrated rock bands ever. PERIOD... How is it that sub-par 4-chord guitar playing and screamed vocals could be taken for anything else?
A phenomenon spun out of a single novelty song that filled a void in a lame musical landscape.
- "Shame about Kurt and Nirvana eh Doctor Lecter?"
- "Best thing for him really, his therapy was going nowhere"
