@OasisMania @liamgallagher @NoelGallagher Hate Oasis. Lad culture at its worst and just a Beatles cover band anyway

@xXPhillyCXx Jane’s Addiction started this. NOT Nirvana

Five reasons why I feel like "Nevermind," and Nirvana in general, gets a little too much credit in the current musical climate
1. Nirvana, while a very popular, acclaimed, and certainly very influential band, were also short-lived (three albums, including a very rough debut) and have a shallow pool of recorded original material. This bodes poorly for them being considered an all-time great music artist. Even bands like Led Zeppelin and The Beatles who similarly were basically disbanded after a decade had much larger libraries than Nirvana at the time of each band's respective endings.
2. "Nevermind" is credited for saving rock.. but really, it only extended the lifetime of commercial viability for rock an extra decade at maximum. Rock bands do not chart anymore nor have any type of relevance beyond their hardcode fanbases. Whatever revolution "Nevermind" caused, it was ultimately ephemeral.
3. Nirvana was not at any one time the most popular band on Earth. By 1992 Pearl Jam had completely outsold and even started to exude a stronger musical and cultural influence than Kurt's band. Everyone wanted to sound like Eddie - not Kurt. The sales were staggeringly in favor of Pearl Jam during this period as well. It is basically a retconned argument when people say "Nirvana was the most popular rock band in the 90's." The Chili Peppers were also more popular (and continue to be, decades later). Even in 91' Metallica had dwarfed Nirvana's breakout success.
4. Here are the band rankings based on critic lists and reviews from aggregated review sites, as provided by acclaimedmusic.net.. Nirvana rests at #18, Pearl Jam at #112, Soundgarden at #266.. and Alice In Chains at #571(!!!) That is an insane, and unjustifiable, disparity in regards to perceptions of each band's quality. Clearly an adjustment needs to be made.
5. Nirvana, contrary to popular notions, inspired quite a bit of "butt rock" themselves, as bands like Seether, Nickelback, and even Puddle of Mudd consider Nirvana's music a key touchstone influence. The idea that other artists of the grunge revolution are purely to blame for the emergence of this unfortunate brand of dad-rock is at best ignorant and at worst an attempt to gaslight the musical public into accepting a certain mythos about the band that isn't actually valid.

Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys claims Taylor Swift doesn’t have any famous songs:
“Taylor Swift sort of fascinates me as a phenomenon because she’s so popular, and I sort of quite like the whole thing, but then when I listen to the records … for a phenomenon as big as she is, where are the famous songs? What’s Taylor Swift’s ‘Billie Jean’?”
