To answer Bobby D's question;

I think Nirvana and The Beatles are overrated for the same reasons. In my opinion they both made very good music, and they both "spearheaded" movements. However, them being at the forefront was just right place/right time.

There were bands before and during their times that were doing what they did, and doing it arguably better than they were. They were just the most famous of their respective movements. Movements that were bound to happen anyway.

That's why I think The Beatles/Nirvana are overrated, it's nothing to do with specific albums. Although they are two bands that, as a result of their fortune of being at the right place at the right time, got a lot of press and a lot of acclaim. This caused people, even today, to be shit scared of saying a bad word against them.



A) Then you're not really disagreeing with me. You just covered all bases, in fact. They're considered the most influential and greatest band ever at music by a lot of people (For lots of reasons that don't even involve actual music), that is precisely why they are overrated.

B) Do you lot have alarms that ring whenever someone says anything negative about The Beatles?

No, AC. And your response is something I can now appreciate. It's honest, acceptable (even if partially disagreeable), and not nearly as venomous as your tone in the past.

Good for you.

..starting to come around, kid.

If he continues to be such, I'll just bring up the fact that until recently he thought Led Zeppelin, one of the most famous British bands ever, were American. That's a smart music fan for you.

Nirvana isn't the only band that was overated at the time... Pearl Jam anyone? I like both bands, but when they arose from the underground, they quickly lost what made them great.

theyre not nearly as good as people think they are. they are just another seattle band that came out around the same time that nirvana did. its all about timing. if stone temple pilots would have come out before them, they would be the greater seattle band, but since they came out later on, they were looked at as a copy band.
