While I like Nirvana a lot and do still listen to them. That said, I do think they and Kurt held up as something more than they were because of his death.
If Eddie Vedder had died in '94, he'd be revered the same way.
The Nirvana Unplugged performances are great but I think the best songs on that album are the ones they covered (Man Who Sold The World, Oh Me, Lake of Fire, Where Did You Sleep Last Night) over their originals.
Still, their stuff stands the test of time.
Froot brought up Poison being more relevant now. I think that's just because they're still around and Bret Michels is a sideshow act. It's aged cheese that makes you laugh about those how bad some of those bands were or memories being young and dumb. I mean, New Kids on The Block has had reunion tours too.
As for Grunge, the term doesn't really irk me but I only think of one band that fits the sound and image that I have in my head of what that means. To me it's early Soundgarden. It's a heavy metal machine that isn't well oiled but is still slowly grinding away. I know I may be the only one that has that definition, but that's what I got.
Nah, the Poison comment is based on the fact that you still hear a lot of their songs on the radio. Their songs survived whereas stuff from Warrant, Bullet Boys, Slaughter, etc are only heard on House of Hair on Sunday mornings.
Rarely will you ever hear me talking about some group ripping off someone. Unless its clear plagiarizing without giving credit. Its the first sign you're getting old. Inevitably the band being ripped off, actually "ripped off" another band. The Beatles ripped off everyone. Most of those 60s groups had a litany of bands they borrowed from. Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief.
But in the case of Oasis, they borrowed from a lot of groups. People most associate them with the Beatles, but its hard to listen to an Oasis record and see something they are clearly ripping off of the Beatles. Its certainly not song structure. Almost every song has some sort of indulgent solo during the bridge, that really wasn't a Beatle trademark. They can attribute as much of their sound to the Kinks, the Stones, the Stone Roses, The Jam. Basically any britpop band of that last 40 years. They liked to cover the Beatles and didn't shy away from the comparisons, but it's not that valid.
