it was just my twopenneth - but i felt that Cobain dying so tragically cast Nirvana as the gold standard for Grunge when nothing could be further from the truth. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden Stone Temple Pilots and Alice were better bands (imo) with Pearl Jam being the best of the genre.[/QUOTE]
Amen to that. Nirvana were never that good. Alice n chains were my favorite from that era.

I do think that the bands of the early 90's were good, and had a fresh, good sound. But, after that is where I started seeing a void.
I was watching a popular group today on of of these Entertainment shows on TV, [don't know the name, sorry] and it was a group of guys singing, and dancing on a stage with nobody on stage playing any instruments.
To top it off the music sucked anyway. As a kid I know I wouldn't look up to a band like this to follow, and champion.

Totally. All the bands he mentioned were better than Nirvana, who were good, but those other bands had just as good songs but were all more sophisticated in their delivery.
STP particularly are vastly underrated as songwriters and performers. Tiny Music was the album of the 90s for me. And last summer I caught a 3.5 hour Pearl Jam performance in Leeds that blew my mind.

glad some others agree that the Nirvana truth is nothing like the Nirvana legend.
As i implied before - if Nirvana are the "gold standard" - the fuck alone knows what that makes the other bands who are better. Pearl Jam being infinitely better (imo)
