while these days i'd rather hear gnr, nirvana wins on nostalgia.

I have always wished Axel Rose died instead of Krudt Cobain.

Anybody e'r realise that Smells like Teen Spirit rips off Boston's More than a feeling?

Had to go with GNR even though I wanted to pick Nevermind.

nirvana fucking sucks, biggest cult of personality since the doors

unless you're 30something you had nothing to be grungy or depressed about when this band actually mattered

yeah

had a conversation about this two years ago with some friends

kind of blew my mind at the time even though one of the guys (who is the most knowledgable about rock) totally blew it off

Watch out for the ironic hipster blog Grunge revival penciled in for a Summer 2007 target date, right after the New Jack Swing revival becomes too cool.

Appetite for Destruction >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nevermind

Vote GNR

Appetite For Destruction is a significantly better album. This is like comparing a Lox album to Enta Da Stage.

I'm pretty sure Cobain copped to that himself while he was alive. You know about the Killing Joke mimicry right?

It's already started. I saw some kid that looked like me in 1991 around Washington Square park. All I could think of was 17 was a stupid fucking age.

No, I don't think I do, what song ripped off Killing Joke? But I mean generally I could give less than a shit about Nirvana anyway. I'd pretty much take More than a Feeling over anything they ever did.

The main riff in "Come As You Are" sounds almost identical to the main riff in "Eighties" by Killing Joke

One of the greatest rock albums of all time vs one of the most overrated.

The beef was squashed though, and now Dave Grohl and Killing Joke collaborate on the regular.

As for the poll, I really couldn't give a toss about either album. 'Appetite For Destruction' is the definitive pub jukebox album though.

Voted Cobain. Eagearly awaiting Grunge revival.

sneed · Post by **sneed** » Thu Nov 09, 2006 12:20 pm

I'm not too big into the non singles off Appetite For Destruction....meanwhile I love every track off Nevermind...

someone mentioned that Smells Like Teen Spirit is a rip off of More Than a Feeling....

well did you know that Come As You Are is a direct rip off of Killing Joke's song "Eighties"? they even got sued for it back in 91-92 but the lawsuit got dropped (I think there was a mutual respect on both parts) and Dave Ghrol ended up playing drums on their 2003 release.

Nice that you care posts that aren't yours.

it's funny that it's close but only 2 people copped to nirvana so far

Steezel Weezel · Post by **Steezel Weezel** » Thu Nov 09, 2006 12:52 pm

I voted for Nirvana, but like others I've said, I don't think either album is too thrilling.

habit · Post by **habit** » Thu Nov 09, 2006 2:25 pm

nevermind. i was one of those kids who heard 'smells like teen spirit' then pledged my undying loyalty to nirvana. everytime i used to drive by his house i would just stare. i dramatize but the staring thing is true
