Metallica and maiden are an entirely different genre

true maiden and metallica are metal , nirvana grunge a sub genre of punk. but musically punk and metal share many similarities, metallica basically started thrash metal by combining punk and traditional metal.

point still stands though that nirvana ( who i do actually lile ) are tremendously overrated. compare them to say soundgarden a closer comparison ( although soundgarden did have many metal songs ) and talent wise its the 2013 roosters vs 2016 newcastle knights .

norvana are one of the most overrated bands of all time . they were aclassic case of right place , right time.

bands like iron maiden , metallica , soundgarden had 10 x the talent and don't get anywhere near the plaudits.

Don't think Iron Maiden , Metallica , Soundgarden had the songs that resonated with a wider cross section of people as Nirvana's songs did. - To be honest only songs i know from the three you mentioned are - Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills - Metallica- Enter Sandman - Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun- struggle to remember any others.

Certainly it was a quantum leap to go from Bleach with 40k odd sales to Nevermind that was selling 400k a week on release. Did MTV play a part possibly as Smells like Teen Spirit was heavily promoted and played as well as requested by viewers.. Come as you are also.

Of course the sudden global fame has it's pitfalls especially for people already fighting as they say life's inner demons as this can only exacerbate these.

Nevermind is a classic Album though as is Never Mind the Bollocks/ Dark side of the Moon / Sgt Peppers/ Abbey Road/ London Calling/ Pet Sounds/Rumours/Harvest/Tapestry.

People say the same thing about The Beatles -right place and right time- but that only lasts for a short time before people move onto something else. I don't think many or any bands could stop touring at the peak of their fame and not only maintain but increase their popularity as The Beatles did only releasing singles and album with the odd film or 2/cartoon thrown in for good measure.

possibly re the being able to write songs that appealed to a large audience. it is odd that in utero is considered so much the lesser album when compared to nevermind. i personally far prefer in utero , but of course that is a personal choice. the fact kurt killed himself probably did have an impact on how the band were remembered , it seems that tragic figures who die at or near their peak are thought of as being oh so close to perfect.

id disagree on the beatles, bar ringo who wasn't a great drummer , the rest were probably slightly above average musicians. however what the beatles did have was 3 absolutley outstanding songwriters, particualrly lennon and mccartney and harrison was no mug as evidenced by some of his solo material .

i guess it is worth noting that any debate about music will always be down to personal choice, just because i far prefer iron maiden or metallica , the vast majority of the population probably prefer nirvana. not sure if this makes it right or not.

anyway go the chooks.

How about we make Manly run to the hills, fall down a black hole, son and send them off to never never land...that should satisfy us all..

Agree. BPP was always a fun poster on the Wall. Cannon told me he is a good person, so that's enough endorsement for me too.
