@mgmt73 Nirvana aren't even that good. He died/killed himself. Propelling their music to 'cult' status. Bit like Joy Division (which are good). I imagine if Matt (singer) killed himself, this music would suddenly become more appealing, purely due to the 'narrative' aspect of the songs which often depict a lonely, sad man.
@mgmt73 I think, maybe, the discussion shouldn't be whether success defines quality and whether circumstance defines success. The National are able to pull of many a good 'fast paced' song. But never class themselves as a rock group or aim to be fast paced. The majority of their fast songs carry a melodic feel to it anyway. So I don't really understand why you'd even begin to compare Nirvana and The National.
