Don't get me wrong, I like Nirvana quite a bit, I just think there are people who blow their greatness way out of proportion.
Mostly kids. The same is done for virtually every artist that died before their time. I think Hendrix is overrated, and his talent isn't in question. It's a case of what I feel to be legitimate overpraise.
I grew up on Nirvana....as in I was listening to them at the age of three 😑 yeah, my mom's got great musical taste and passed it on to me at an early age. I remember buying a cassette of Nevermind when I was in kindergarten or first grade 😂
While they are indeed very good, and will always be a favorite of mine, I also recognize that a lot of people tend to overrate them a lot, and that there are better bands.

Indeed, but how are they hard rock, they may qualify on a list of greatest psycadelic bands, or greatest bands to get wacked out of your mind to, but they're not hard rock. Perhaps they mean rock as whole.
They semi-mean hard rock. I think I remember seeing a list of greatest rock and roll artists in general on the vh1 website, and there were a bunch of gospel and soul singers on it... I guess if that's what you consider "rock," The Doors are pretty heavy. 😐

Jimmi Hendrix is great and all but he doesn't belong on that list. He's going up against completely different bands.

Let's see, araya's voice is crap, king is about THE single worst lead player of all time, and hanneman isn't much better. They have absolutely no diversity in their songwriting. The only thing they have going for them is lombardo or bostaph when he was with them, slayer's always had great drummers, but yeah, I can see why a band with very little ability "destroy" all the other bands on the list, LMFAO!!!
