[QUOTE=âglasagusban, post: 1107659, member: 1533â]Excellent albums or excellent efforts at albums? I agree with the above, apart from dirge songs such as rape me which only a moany 14 year emo kid could like.
Nirvana and Cobain were excellent but are overrated in comparison to many of their comtemporaries. The Pixies are far superior and have stood the test of time better for example.[/QUOTE]
I wouldnât have said that Pixies were contemporaries of Nirvana. I would say Nirvana were influenced by Pixies. Although the length of the bands overlapped somewhat, Nirvanaâs last two albums were influenced by Pixies first two albums. Cobain even got Steve Albini in to produce In Utero in 1993 mainly because he had produced Surfer Rosa by Pixies in 1988.
check this @glasagusban out- talking about sustained levels of commercial success and longevity what a mag. Youâll never get music fella, never. Youâre too safe, youâre whole generation are- blogging and tagging online while the event is taking place in front of your eyes- mugs.
I canât agree there at all. Rape me is along the lines of Cobainâs lyrics on that album. He seems to be very uneasy with his body, constant references to sickness, and then of course his subsequent suicide.
Itâs a wonderful pile of noise and angst, epitomised by Cobainâs grind on the guitar leading into the third chorus and, of course, handled expertly by Albini on production.

Youâre wasting your time - that generation donât feel music at all- itâs about point scoring and hipster value.
Pearl Jamâs stuff has probably stood the test of the time better.
Smells Like Teen Spirit (even though it was Pixies sounding) changed popular music - I remember it was released and people couldnât get enough of it
Everybody in their teens bought Nevermind and played it to death. In Utero came out and I remember trying really hard to like it (some good songs on it but not a great album)
The Unplugged album was the scourge of many a house party I attended.

You seem to be making a play for the poster with the worst taste in music now that @Il Bomber Destro has departed.
As I said before on here I often have to change songs before I open the window at traffic lights to charity collectors or open the window to open a barrier lest I be judged.
@TheUlteriorMotive is bang on here, that nirvana unplugged album is mindnumbingly depressing, a 2am house party killer, fellas sat around with serious old heads on them⌠That and Play by Moby are 2 house party albums that i remember from my days but the parties i attended with the Moby soundtrack always ended better or had more craic
some or most of their stuff was just an awful racket, when i was 16-18 everyone was listening to it but i remember buying something by Josh Wink when everyone was wearing nirvana t shirts, In Utero, yeah i remember that, just loud trashy old noise as Iggy Pop would sayâŚ
shockingly overated in my opinion, that whole seattle grunge thing was a blimp in music history, Pearl Jam, saw then in Millstreet in 96 before they released No Code⌠Spin The Black Circle on Vitalogy, awful shit, Black, Jeremy great songs allright.
Im happy that i progessed to dance music pretty quick, think âeverything is wrongâ by Moby when he played Feile 95 in the park was my moment⌠The track Feeling so real blew me away, it still gives me a massive rush actually, Orbital playing Halycon on the same night⌠fucking hell, i was 16 , i couldnt believe fellas wore long coats and listended to Nirvana⌠I loved Blur allright in my Britpop flirtation but then my my early 20âs Faithess came along and that was that⌠possibly the most amazing thing i have ever seen live, when Come One is played live you see joy flow over a crowd, even sober⌠Same with fellas raving about david gray, he had that white ladder shit in 2000, awful old bollux⌠ud be in a club in amsterdam with Armin Van Buuren⌠and the place going bananas
what a mag. Youâll never get music fella, never. Youâre too safe, youâre whole generation are- blogging and tagging online while the event is taking place in front of your eyes- mugs.
