Foo Fighters > Nirvana POTD
- Thread starter PurpleThrobber
- Start date
I like Dave Grohl a lot and he seems like a great guy, but Foo Fighters > Nirvana is an awful take.
How was Kurt Cobains Zoom drum-off?
Too soon?
One is a solid mainstream rock band. The other was ground changing.
*ground breaking.

Smells Like Teen Spirit is as iconic as it gets ... no argument for me
I always was more Team Pearl Jam than Team Nirvana ... I am a little more kind of Nirvana as I age
My problem with Nirvana is that early teenage me knew listening to the balance of Nirvana's songs and watching their videos back when MTV actually played videos that Kurt Cobain was fucked up and not long for the world. Knowing that made it really hard to really like a lot of their stuff.
Perhaps that puts some bias on my view ... but that's how I look at things. I don't watch sports, listen to music, etc. to get depressed.

We’ve had this thread before but I don’t get depressed at all listening to Nirvana or Alice In Chains. Maybe a song or three, but most their catalogs just have me rocking out.

Right ... to each their own.
And I'm the same way in that I definitely listen to both Nirvana and AIC ... both truly great.
Guess the easiest way for me to explain my position is that if I'm going to go shoot hoops for 45 minutes to an hour ... I can definitely go through that workout listening to the Foo Fighters. I can do that to a song here and there for Nirvana and AIC ... but not a full album.

Cobain vocals were awful. Maybe they fit the mood of the music. Guy couldn't sing for shit, though, IMO.
