Nirvana’s fame was also based largely on attitude, no doubt about it. The quality of their music does not live up to their fame - I’ll agree (whose does?). But their music is of a lasting quality that will assure their reputation for a long time – hence, immortality.

RP gets some 90's street cred for mixing in tracks like this.

Sinead O'Oconnor did an interesting (in a good way) cover of this tune.

The genius of Nirvana/Kurt is that they/he wrote wonderful melodies, ones that could be stripped out and arranged/played in any style of music, while pouring massive voice of a generation emotional power into their recordings and live performances. Like the best rock bands they synthesized all of their influences - they picked some of the best, from the Beatles, Bowie, Zeppelin to the Pixies and the best 80s hardcore and indy rock bands - into their own unique sound.

One of Kurt's finer compositions. The band were overrated in the end, but they did leave their musical mark.

If you are referring to his suicide, I want to say that after reading William Styron and David Foster Wallace, it is way more difficult for me to equate suicide with cowardice. I now tend to give suicides the benefit of the doubt on that one. Peace. |
