Can we just stop bashing each others musical tastes and just post what great musicians died too young?Jazoni89 said:I think the people like you who bash nirvana oviously haven't listerned to any other song by them other than smells like teen spirit which in my opinion is one of their WORSE! songs listern to any song on bleach then try saying they had no talent or weren't a inflence on modern rock and music in general because you sir are wrong.Milkatron said:I guess I should back up my statement.Jharry5 said:He was vocalist/songwriter in arguably the most important band of the 90's. He contributed a lot to his time's music scene; just like the others you listed did for their times.Milkatron said:For the record, Kurt Cobain should have been aborted so we didn't have to put up with that shit.
But, to each his own...
In my honest, oh so humble opinion, this country went down the shitter when it came to music, all because of him. I have yet to hear a band say they claimed influence from Cobain/Nirvana AND impress me. Without him, we wouldn't have mainstream alternative bands (which is a load of shit if you do any research on alternative msuic) and grunge. Those are probably the two worst subgenres of rock n' roll. Nirvana is the Halo 3 of music: Popular, but severely lacking in quality.
This and John Lennon...Ham_authority95 said:Cliff Burton
Man, I would give anything to see meet him or see him live again....
A. I have listened to Bleach. Nirvana is still shit.Jazoni89 said:I think the people like you who bash nirvana oviously haven't listerned to any other song by them other than smells like teen spirit which in my opinion is one of their WORSE! songs listern to any song on bleach then try saying they had no talent or weren't a inflence on modern rock and music in general because you sir are wrong.Milkatron said:I guess I should back up my statement.Jharry5 said:He was vocalist/songwriter in arguably the most important band of the 90's.

This, couldn't agree more. My number one died-too-young-musician would be Freddy Mercury.Sir John The Net Knight said:Kurt Cobain is a legend because MTV and the RIAA deemed it so. His music was boring, angsty and needlessly cryptic. His songwriting style was copied, if not outright stolen, from an earlier band.(The Pixies) And while his popularity opened the door for a few deserving Seattle bands like Alice in Chains and Soundgarden, it also lead to a media blitz of Seattle music from bands just as half-ass as Nirvana. Nevermind* that he made Courtney Love, easily one of the worst musicians of all time, a celebrity by marrying her. A sin that the world still pays for to this very day. And the most ironic angle of this is that he shot himself because he was famous and people were listening to his music.
Anyway, I'll go with the answers I like. Which would be John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Elvis Presley. Yeah, there's a much longer list. But I'm sure you can find better sources than me for fleshing it out.
