Their musical contribution cannot be denied. They changed the course and opened it up for their peers. I've never heard anyone say that Kurt was a guitar god. Rocky George was a better technical player. Kurt even said Grohl was actually the better guitar player. If you were there with my generation I'll take your overated opinion with more validity. If you're only looking back at it then you're missing out on how much they altered everything and inspired a whole bunch of young people to pick up an instrament. Their sound can at the right time to the right people.

Good, melodic, virtuoso musicianship is alive and well.

Deciduous is one of my most favorite of words. Though the paper I wrote this weekend offered the opportunity to use tumultuous, dichotomy, and compartamentalization.

I was there with your generation. I grew up with that kind of shit and never was a nirvana fan. Im sure he inspired people to pick up instuments but probably in more of a " if this clown can do it so can i" sort of way. Just my opinion. "Grunge" is just not a genre i was ever into. With the exception of Alice in chains of course.

Jimmy, fair enough. I got wore out after their second album with only a few songs after that catching my ear. I was more into bands like InsideOut (zach de la rocha 1st band), Bloodlet, Earth Crisis, Clutch, Entombed, etc.

Wow.. Earth Crisis.. I was a big fan in the mid 90s.
Madball, Sick of it all, strife
H20, Agnostic front... Agnostic Front shows were more fun because people drank and shit got crazy.
