I’m a big Nirvana fan (as seen from my username) and I was wondering if there were any fans of them out there. I love Drain You, Lithium, You Know You’re Right, Heart Shaped Box, All Apologies, and a lot of their other songs I don’t wanna list. Also what other bands do you guys like?

I'm a fan but seems like the cool thing to hate on them now.
Lake of Fire,Where did You Sleep Last Night and of course their hits are favorites.

I'm more of a Foo Fighters guy myself but I appreciate them more the older I get.

I like Nirvana but I'm not a huge fan of them. I like listening to upcoming bands who are trying to get big, my favorite band right now is Add1ction. They have potential to be great. They pretty much sound like Linkin Park.

Love nirvana. I have this weird thing with Kurt where I cried several times to his song and almost felt like I related to him a lot. It's very rare for a musician or just music to make me feel that way. Same goes for soundgarden. I cried when I found out chris died, he was a big influence and soundgarden helped me get through high school.

Eh, not really. I don't mind some of their songs but I'm not going to willingly play their music though.

Currently my favorite band actually. Of course everyone knows SLTS, but they have some really great songs that people don’t really talk about.

Nirvana awesome. As well as all the grunge bands that came out during that time like Alice In Chains etc.

One of my faves, wish I was an adult during the whole grunge scene... as well as all the usual songs I think All Apologies is up there. It would have been interesting to see how they would've developed if Kurt was still alive, I wonder if Dave would've have got more of his future Foo Fighters songs written and released or whether Kurt's death totally changed his musical and lyrical ideas

My Ex said Kurt Cobain was one of the greatest guitarist of all time....Needless to say I ended the relationship soon after. I cant be with that kinda stupid.
That being said, musical taste is all based on opinion and I acknowledge what they did with basically pioneering "grunge" music....But outside of about 2 songs, I find them to be terrible. Ive always said if you wanted a Nirvana greatest hits album just buy the one with that naked baby on it cause I personally never thought any of their other stuff was worth a crap.
True story, I asked my Alexa to play crappy music...It played Nirvana

I prefer Soundgarden over Nirvana but a lot of Nirvana's stuff is good if you get passed "Come as You Are", "All Apologies" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
I really like and recommend "You Know You're Right", "School", "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle" for anyone who is interested in digging a little deeper into their library. The entire MTV Unplugged performance is fantastic. Liked that they played other people's music like mentioned earlier

The MTV Unplugged is arguably their best album (despite not being a studio album) and both versions of their The Man Who Sold The World covers are amazing as well.

Funnily enough, after posting this I played "Serve the Servants". And yeah, good additions to that list, especially "Dumb".

Huge fan right here.
Man Kurt Cobain could write a pop hook! Such a great combination of styles he melded. Was he a technically proficient guitar player? Heck no, but he had one heck of an ear for melody, and that is all that matters. Melody is everything, it's the difference between being able to play more chords, and actually writing memorable songs. You can do a lot with 3 cords.
Johnny Ramone is another hero of mine, love the Ramones. Good loud Rock with pop sensibilities and plenty of distortion.
I'm sure you're aware of all of Nirvana's Seattle contemporaries, but don't sleep on the East coast. Dinosaur Jr., the Pixies, Miracle Legion, all great bands from that era.

I liked them more when I was younger, I’d lean more towards Alice in Chains for preferred grunge.

I saw 'em live in Boise in December of '93. Always considered myself VERY fortunate for that fact.
