YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!

Actually, if thats how you feel, fine but your wrong. Pearl Jam has been one of my favorite bands since Ten came out, and the 6 albums after that only got better as time went on. Try listening to any of the songs on Binaural and tell me that they didnt require loads of talent. Granted, you couldn't really call them grunge anymore, but at one time they were a Grunge band and have more talent than I could ever wish for.

Soundgarden: Their music followed the same progression as PJ - it only got better as time went on. I'm not as big a fan of them as I am of Pearl jam (Cornells voice... sometimes) but theres no denying that they were oozing with talent.

Alice in Chains: I'm not to familier with their music, most of it is a little heavey for my taste, so I dont feel like I should comment other than to say: TALENT.

And no, Nirvana weren't really grunge. The media seemed to think at the time that any band from the Seattle area was grunge regardless of the sound. Thats why Stone Temple Pilots, though they had a sound comparble to the style of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam have never been officialy classed as a grunge band.

Whew... I think this is my longest post ever. We finally found something I feel strongly about.

Well wat i interprite hard rock as > Metal..


Rammstein a Opera singer in the song 'Engel'
N' try Nightwish..

Fine, then I meant metal.  I guess I don't like hard rock then.  Whenever I think metal though, I think of Pantera and other screaming, no-talent bands.

Bah!  That's why I hate all these sub-genres!  Rock people!  It's just rock!

My wife likes country music and I don't mind most of it.

But Willie Nelson drives me absolutely insane......grrrrr

His voice sounds like someone raking their finger nails across a blackboard!

You people are crazy.  I love you all the more for it.  Anyone who thinks that The Beatles or Nirvana wrote crap music, is devoid of musical credability.  Not liking their music is one thing, but not recognizing musical talent like that is aurally absurd.  I despise Pearl Jam and The Smashing Pumkins with a fierce passion but I begrudgingly acknowledge that, unlike Jessica Simpson or Avril Lavigne, they are talented musicians.  Tool is freakin' awesome but Maynard makes me mad.  He sucks AND he blows, AND I HATE HIM.  Great singing voice though.  Oh, this thread was a terrible idea...

There are bands I don't like, but I recognize their talent.  Like Rush for instance.  I don't like them, mostly because of their frontman's voice, but they have loads of talent, so I wouldn't put them down as a bad I hate.  The Beatles...  Anyone who says their talentless deserves a pop in the nose.   

Cobain had no musical talent.  But anyone who says he couldn't write lyrics, needs to take 10th grade English again.  The man was a great poet, but a bad musican.

Maybe Cobain didn't have the world's fastest fingers or a crystal clear perfect pitch singing voice.  But just beneath the wailing surface, all his notes were perfectly placed and all his string bending was exactly as it should be.  You can't write music that catchy without musical talent, (teen spirit is one of his mediocre songs I think...)  His music is like an everlasting gobbstopper, seems simple, but after sucking it, reveals layers of complexity!   Emotional intensity, lyrics with real substance, I don't like to throw the word genius around but every song in the Nirvana library is golden pop rock bliss not felt since The Beatles or Pink Floyd. Maybe I'm biased though, I have lived here in Seattle for over 20 years...
