| | | Yeah, if the "what are you listening to now?" thread is any indication, I think you and I just have different tastes in music. Of course there were better bands at the time who received less attention (the Pixies come to mind), but I think that's always going to be the case. Come to think of it, I'm glad that's the case, because I'd hate to see my favourite bands reach the level of stardom as Nirvana. It'd most likely just result in them making shitty music. I don't think you can really compare them to the Ramones or the Pistols though other than the fact that they shared some of the same punk energy. The who-did-what-first game a pretty pointless one to play though. If you want to go that route, the Pistols weren't doing anything that what the Stooges weren't doing years before, and the Stooges weren't doing anything countless garage bands were doing before that, and those garage bands weren't.. well, you get the picture. The point is, they all just did things in a slightly different way than their predecessors. It's the way any genre of music evolves.

| i see your point (I'm still a little asleep- worked 11-7 last night) and yes, my tastes in music run to the eclectic. Many of the things that you guys listen to, i've never heard of. In 1991, I was in my first semester of college and was being exposed to so much music I hadn't heard of before. I took to Ministry with a fury and yes, I ran out and bought Nevermind when it came out because i had heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit" over and over... ok ok, we won't play the 'who was here first' card, but it just seemed like Nirvana was using that same punk energy with something else, almost a pre-emo hopeless that would look out of place even on a heroin addict. I think the closest thing to that was maybe The Doors. I was more partial to Soul Asylum and Midnight Oil during that period.
