"Nevermind" is one of the best pop albums of all time. And "pop" isn't a dirty word. Cobain took punk and underground 80's rock, ran it through a pop filter and came out with classic songs. I mean, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit" is pretty much (musically) Boston's 'More Than a Feeling':




Also, Kurt Cobain was much better looking than his influences. Here's the Pixies sometime in the late 80's/early 90's. Lead singer Frank Black is in front:


I don't think teenage girls are going to hang his picture on their walls.

Nirvana was the perfect band for the industry to run through the machine. There's nothing wrong with it, but I think that their influence was much more culturally as a whole than musically.

Beautiful, Post man..  And to the OP I know you are stating they rocked and this thread has spawn into way more, but I am expressing my feelings on this topic just because Kurdt Kobain..  really is not what people perceive him to be.  Perpetual douche after Mainstream, Matter of fact go listen to not his main albums and find some recordings before they were edited, and when it was him with a guitar and in the garage as they say I guarantee you I can go walk down the street and find better musicians in my neighbor hood....  GUARANTEED...  He is a liar I don't want to be like a ROCK STAR that is exactly what he wanted little liar...  packaged and assembled down the line....
