Nirvana is actually a word used in Buddhsm that means a state of bliss and tranquility. The band Nirvana, started off in Washington in 1987, but ended on April 5th, 1994, when the lead singer, Kurt Cobain, was killed. Rumor has it that it was a planned murder by his wife Courtney Love, considering that his suicide note was not in his handwritting and he had way too much heroin in his system to use a gun correctly. Plus the gun was wiped clean of all fingerprints. How would a dead guy do that? God Bless Kurt Cobain.
Nirvana is the best band ever created, and who would of thought they would be catagorized as "grundge".

One of the most ovverated bands ever. they suck. get over it. They were put out by MTV as just another fad. Everyone who says Kurt No-Brain was a good guitar player should shut their fuckin' mouths and go listen to Yngwie. their sound was not helped by No-brain's so-called "singing", which was actually a drunken moan. they provided half of the influence for mallcore(the other half being rap). The only musician among them was Dave Grohl. although most nirvana fans will agree when I say that Courtney love should BURN IN HELL!!!!
mallcore
nu-metal
grunge
Nirvana sucks. Kurt Cobain is not a hero, he was just a depressed drug addict who liked to moan about his life.

1: A state of religious bliss that is held in belief by Indian religions.

2: A band that was quite good, but is terribly overrated. The lead singer, Kurt Cobain is often undeservingly held in the same esteem as Hendrix, Clapton and Jesus in regards to greatness. Cobain eventually proceeded to stick a shotgun in his mouth and blow his head off after becoming amazingly popular and wealthy.

Nirvana is, like it or not, one if not the greatest and most influential bands of all time. To those who disagree, firstly listen to them, and feel the awesome power of Kurts uncanny knack for writing powerful and meaningful songs. listen to how his vocals change from smooth, to screeching in an instant. listen to the hook in the music of the song, especially the underlying bass (provided by krist novoselic. Then listen to some of the earlier acoustic songs (e.g early acoustic of lithium, and then final produced product) and see how kurt started out with a great song, and made it superb. after listening then do some resaerch into how nirvana changed the face of music for the better.

Kurt and good music went hand in hand. it was impossible for him to write something that turned out crap. Nirvanas lesser known and unrecorded music was/is better than most music made. And is definitely better than rap/pop/poppunk/talentless sonwriters/radio is gay.

Listen to nirvana and then you may too have eternal happiness. It is then end Nothing cannot be anything better than nirvana, and those who enjoy crpa music just cant undertand that.


To those who know of nirvanas greatness. continue to listen.
Anuerysm is one of nirvanas greatest songs yet it does not make their best of album. why is this so? because every nirvana song is a musical masterpiece and a gem.

Floyd the barber is highly underrated, if ur a fan dpnt miss out on it

The best fucking band ever. A grunge band from Aberdeen, Washington who completely saved rock as we know it. Whenever a band is put in a catagory of "post grunge", it means after Nirvana.

Most people know a couple key songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Come As You Are", and (my favorite) "Lithium". They're the most kickass band ever, and if you say otherwise you're probably into rap, hip hop, pop, or some other piece of shit music.

R.I.P., Kurt Cobain.
Nirvana was a popular grunge band in the late 80's and early 90's. They made great music, and Cobain was killed not suicidal.

Don't do drugs, kiddies!

1. paradise; peace; joy
2. The greatest band, except for Beatles, of all time. The founders of Seattle's grunge genre. The band cosists of Kurt Caboin, Krist Noveselic, and Dave Grohl.
