A good band from the early 90's. Basically Kurt Cobain. Probably the best grunge band ever. Although in my opinion Grunge isn't all that good anyway. But for the people who claim that Nirvana are the greatest rock band of all time; ever heard of Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses etc? and yeh, Guns N' Roses are better.
Nirvana are overrated. This is mostly by people who don't know shit about music/Nirvana. The fans that actually know a lot about Nirvana, other than just hearing smells like teen spirit, are ok, as its not them that make Nirvana overrated.

Get the nirvana mug.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.

Get the nirvana mug.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.
