Favorite Dead Musician?

"Nevermind started a quick fad that went dead after a few years"???
Do you have any idea how ignorant you look saying that?!
Sweet Jesus.

When's the last time you heard a grunge band making noise on the radio?

13 years after it's release and new bands are still paying homage to OK Computer.

Coldplay
Muse
Bloc Party
TV on the Radio
Snow Patrol
Keane

And those are all bands who are still making music.
Also because of it's sound, even classical and jazz musicians have admitted to being influence by OK Computer.

Infact so many people were copying OK Computer that Thom Yorke didn't like it. So we went out and purposely made Kid A different in a way that nobody could copy it. In the same way that Bob Dylan changed to electric music when he was tired of everyone copying his folk.


I can tell you know nothing about music. Your argument for Nevermind is how much it sold and that random people in the mall know about.
Since when has sells and random people been an indicator of how much an album has impacted music?

You're such a dork.

Elementary my lovely Karma:-)
For someone that don't see the clear connections and developments in music - it takes very little effort researching the subject to understand the effects and influences Grunge had, and as Nirvana busted it open even though they weren't the first Grunge band, a lot of credit have to be made to them.


And thank you for the kind compliment.

Good day to you sir.

How am I ignorant?

There's nothing Nirvana has done in terms of music that Radiohead hasn't. Anyone with actual knowledge of music can tell you so.

In my opinion, the whole point of Nirvana's lyrics is to convey a sense of wretchedness or despair. They don't have (nor are they intended to have, in my opinion) a narrative structure or tell a specific story. The "I'm not gonna crack" lines are about, taken in their entirety, someone going from "like" to "hate" in the space of a few lines. Not saying they're great lyrics or anything, just saying. Remember, the first line is "I like you", then "I love you", then "I miss you" all the way to "I kill you...". I'm nobody's expert, just wanted to point something out.

And let's not forget that the guy was wrestling with a crippling heroin addiction for much of this period. If you have any doubt what that will do to you creatively, check John Frusciante for his heroin-wracked period's recordings.

And by the way, I like Nirvana. Not my favorite band by any stretch, but they (along with Pearl Jam) did put rock back at the forefront of popular music after a few years of bubblegum pop. And both they and Radiohead have helped push paradigm shifts in the music that came after their respective recordings.

His own words "When I write a song the lyrics are the least important
thing"
Need I say more?
The thing about Kurt Cobain is that he blew his head off, so he's sacred ground, people want to make him a genius at any cost, he was a decent musician but he was no genius and lyrics obviously weren't his strong suit.
 
In order:

Jimi Hendrix
SRV
Marvin Gaye
Aaliyah
Isaac Hayes
Janice Joplin
Duane Allman
Otis Redding

Someone here gets it.

Cobain admitted that lyrics were nothing and the music always came first.
Cobain also admitted that his music(which came first) was basically a rip off of The Pixies.
Cobain also admitted that Nevermind was one dimensional.

Part of the reason he was upset was because he didn't think the band deserved the credit and attention it was getting.

Even with all this people act as if Cobain is a music god, die hard Nirvana fans are hilarious.
