F***ing Barf! Cobain was a talentless hack who played rehashed 70's rock. The only thing that bothered me about him taking the easy way out was that I'd be forced to listed to that garbage 24/7 for awhile. Bah!

Why are we wasting bandwidth on a low-talented idiot who succeeded more by taking his own life than by anything he ever did in life?

Calling Cobain or Nirvana "important" or anything other than a "waste of time" is totally stupid.

Rehased 70's rock???

Are you saying that just to say it or do you really feel that way?

Nirvana started a musical movement that lasted nearly two --- weeks. It's influence so transformed the rock world that the non-artform called rap not only filled the void but apparently destroyed rock and roll so completely that many people today -- never having been exposed to real musicians -- actually consider rap to be music.

If I was responsible giving rap a entry into the music world I'd blow my brains out too.

I don't know that I'd go this far, but I was never that impressed by Nirvana. They sounded way too much like the "garage bands" that I was playing in during high school. In some cases, I think my bands sounded better...

One note though... At least the band had a sense of humor... I really liked "Weird Al" Yankovick's video version of "Smell Like Teen Spirit." I even thought it was better than the original. And from the reports I've heard, Nirvanah really loved it too. So at least they weren't taking themselves too seriously.
