Nirvana MTV Unplugged 20 years later.

[Darth Biscuit]

Frash Bastard is so edgy.  :sleep:

[C47]

The best song off that set...

 

[Anybodyhome]

Sorry... overrated.

 

Btw, the best "Unplugged" ever recorded was Neil Young.

If you don't like Nirvana Unplugged, you're either too concerned about looking a certain way to people, or you aren't a person to take seriously. It doesn't matter what music you normally like, you could be a pure hip hop or country fan with no interest in the band otherwise, but you can't deny what the performance was.

[Darth Biscuit]

I never really got the 'Nirvana is overrated' thing...  they weren't the Beatles reincarnated, but you can't deny the musical genius of Cobain, nor of Grohl.

 

I fuging hate the Beatles music, but there's no denying their contribution to the modern musical world.

[Crixtala]

too concerned about looking a certain way to people

 

 

this is why most nirvana fans are nirvana fans... because they've been told to be nirvana fans

 

i like nirvana... just saying

I feel the same way about Pearl Jam.

 

I loved Nirvana's sound from the very first song I heard in 1991.  

 

Pearl Jam has a few decent tunes (mainly from the early days) but overall they're not very good to me.  They're by far the worst of the grunge era bands to me.

I actually like nirvana btw

fug vedder

Pearl Jam has some decent tracks but it doesn't come close to making up for starting the whole trend of emulating that sound and "WITH ARMS WIDE OPAAAHHHNNN"

not by a long shot

Also in reference to the rest of the thread I always hated the fact that people try to out-chic one another when it comes to music.

Pretentious music douche #1: "Pffft Beatles are overrated. I like Kurt Cobain and nirvana. They had some message there"

Pretentious music douche #2:" Oh please Kurt was a whiny baby. Bob Dylan was a better songwriter yet he never gets as much credit"

Pretentious music douche #3:"Oh you guys are such tools, Bon Iver's better than all these hacks"

All: "SHUT THE fug UP ABOUT BON IVER"

If you're trying to tell me who I should like and dislike musically, you're the person not to be taken seriously.

 

I've been listening to music for damn near 60 years now, have been to more shows and concerts and have probably more musical experience and knowledge than you know, so your statement only makes me laugh.

 

As much of musical hipster as you want to be, you should also understand that everyone has a musical "switch." As much as I tried and listened and saw and read, Nirvana never did a thing for me. And I gave myself every opportunity to make sure I wasn't missing something. Sorry, Nirvana just never clicked with me. Pearl Jam at least got me a little excited about the genre. I think Soundgarden was very good and Temple of the Dog's self-titled release was an exceptional record. Alice in Chains and Jerry Cantrell were more edgy and their music was simply more listenable to me. 

 

[Darth Biscuit]

I hear what both of u are saying, musical taste is completely personal and subjective. However I also wasn't the one that threw out the term "overrated". :)

[rodeo]

I'm not telling you what to like at all. I'm just saying if you don't you're an idiot. That's up to you.

 

The fact that you think Nirvana and Pearl Jam are in the same "genre" says a lot already.

[Kramerica]

During the summer of 2001 (age 13) I listened/fell asleep to this album just about every night. To this day, it never gets old.

"This is off our first record. Most people don't own it."
