I've never understood the status Nirvana has enjoyed. Picking Cobain at no.12 is stunning in it's lack of understanding

The Edge being more than 20 places ahead of Frank Zappa, around 40 ahead of Eddie Van Halen, and 50 ahead of David Gilmour tells you all you need to know about this list, let alone guitarists like Eric Johnson not even making it.

Pink Floyd suck from DSOTM onwards..... come on bring it

Not sure everything sucked after DSOTM (e.g. Wish You Were Here), but agree Meddle was the zenith in the post-Syd era.

To put this colossal waste of time into perspective, if my first year on BigTinny was Reception, I'd be doing me SACE necks tyeer.

If my first year of bigfooty was reception I'd be in year 7 and that would make me twelve years old. So I am 12 and what is this.

I'm also looking forward to next year when I grow body hair and my penis starts working.

Ten didn't overtake Nevermind in total US sales until a few months into 1993. Nevermind went absolutely berserk on release while Ten was more of a slow burner in 1991.

Metallica had a decade of established fanbase at that point, you can't really compare them to Pearl Jam and Nirvana who were coming out of the blocks.

I don't agree that Pearl Jam were bigger at all. Nirvana were like the Beatles in the early 90s, while Cobain was very much alive. No other band garnered the same level interest.

Regardless, Nevermind was a far more interesting album and is so influential because of that. Ten was a watered down plodder in comparison. Nevermind would still be far more influential if Cobain was alive.

Comparing nirvanas popularity to the Beatles is way off the mark. I was 16-18 when nirvana, pearl jam and the likes started, everyone except me loved pearl jam, despite a few singles on the pop charts nirvana were relatively unknown, until he died. I hate pearl jam and like some nirvana songs a lot more, but I'm not letting post death hype get in the way of the truth at the time. I hate defending pearl jam, but in the early 90s they were the big band out of Seattle.

Any song that features the words "Donkey Kong" is alright by me.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Uptown Funk is a genuinely good song. Come at me Bigfooty.

The band are smooth thats for sure...

 

[Concussion]

And for the record.... Alice In Chains were the best thing mid 90's "grunge" produced....

STP for me

The Edge.... Oh dear... I needed 5 minutes to compose myself.

Even Cobain admits he was just trying to rip off the Pixies.

Black Francis was a songwriter Kurt Cobain was a copycat.

And you Pearl Jam Foo Fighters fans can tongue my hairless sack*.

Wow this is like year 9 all over again. Nirvana v pearl jam fight?

All i can say, 20 odd years later, I'd rather hear a nirvana song on the radio than PJ. Eddie Vetter singing every word from the back of his throat

 

[Trewth]

Oh, you guys are arguing about what music is 'better'?

[Doctor Feel]

The fact that Nirvana and Pearl Jam are being discussed in 2015 is a testament to both of them.

I recently "discovered" the mountain goats... Come at me guys

Not what is better, what was more popular at the time, I couldnt care less for either. Preferred soundgarden....

Pre Justice for all is ok..... Rust in Peace shits on anything Metallica ever released

Are you saying Justice ain't killer?

RIP is the best album produced between the two though, with Ride the Lightning coming a close second.

Didn't one of Pearl Jams albums break records when it was released? I don't mind hearing Nirvana songs or Pearl Jams once in a while, I personally felt that those songs mentioned were better, that is a personal choice. I did not state in my original post that they became more popular than they were after Cobain's death, I wrote that it 'enhanced their status'. you know...the punk thing?

Right said Fred sold lots of records.

I thought there was a bit of filler not killer on Justice & it has an average production sound, MOP is their best album & I do like the rawness of Kill E'm All (some great mustaine songs )

I'd have Peace Sells before Ride the Lightning out of the two bands again... run's away before megadeth fanboy accusations

 

[charcolechaddy]

I like Nirvana but Nevermind is actually the album I avoid.. hate the commercial over-produced sound

The great thing about nirvana is the difference in styles in the albums.

I rate albums by no matter how much I thrash them I still go back.

When it comes to the grunge era in utero and bleach are the two I go back to, as well as melvins Houdini and soundgarden's bad motor finger.

I personally like Eddie Vedders solo ukalali album from into the wild better than PJ.

 

[Dylan8]

Ride > MoP, noobs.

I like the production on Justice. The undersold bass doesn't really hurt it and too big a deal is made about it.

The pixies and nirvana to grunge is like Greeks and Italians with sex.

O and as long as you bleach you ring.
