Re: Most Overated Bands of the 90's
I agree with this guy when it comes to Nirvana. The songs are good, some a brilliant, but no one can pretend that they are so much better than everyone else's music, there just good, reasonably simple songs. The reason Nirvana is so well known and famous has to do more with how they defined a generation, a style and an attitude. This means so much more than their actual songs.
The Beatles have that, IMO.
Nirvana are pretty overrated, but that doesn't mean they're not great. I mean, they're my favorite band, and after Kurts death he some how became a god, and everyone started worshipping him.
I love Nirvana for the vocal melodies of the songs. Kurts a good guitarist, but everyone knows he wasn't the greatest guitarist around, technicality-wise. To say they are the most overrated band of all time is ridiculous. To be the msot overrated band in the world they'd either have to be SO INCREDIBLY FAMOUS THAT THEY ARE ONE OF EVERY SINGLE MUSICIANS INFLUENCES(beatles) or that they're complete crap, but they're neither, they've had a good amount of fame, and maybe just a little bit more than they deserve, but I guess thats just my opinion.
