@selrahc84 I don't know, Kurt himself said he wished Nirvana coud've been more like Pixies. And that's not saying I dislike Nirvana at all, but I favor Pixies a little more...but although In Utero doesn't seem like it flows as well as Bleach and Nevermind, it definitely has brilliant songs

@monkeygonetoheavensi You thought Weezer was dull??? I loved them, I think they're one of those bands that sound even better live...that said, their new stuff is disgustingly bad, but I'll take 2 incredible albums and 1 awesome un-released album...and it's unfortunate that you found Radiohead to be boring, their work is usually a level above everyone else's..but recently they've been much more experimental and mellow, so their shows probably arent as intense as they used to be

@goldenarm20 Yeah. I got 2 Pixies tattoo's.. now i wish i had got a GBV one instead! Saw Nirvana same week i saw the Pixies. No contest there really. Saw Radiohead. Was bored with them. Saw Weezer. Dullards. And never saw GBV. Would trade all the above bands just to have seen GBV in Oslo this year.

This was my favorite song when I was about 3 or 4 years old and still my favorite GBV song

All nirvana really took from pixies was the soft-loud dynamic (and chord progression from umass). But if you listen to the unplugged mtv album all the songs are quite excellent including the covers without any nod to the pixies or punk. Cobain takes the meat puppets and bowie and old blues song and renders them in a simple and beautiful and new way that is pretty impressive. That same thoughtfulness is in a lot of song on In Utero too, i think.

Well it's definitely not on the level of OK Computer or Pinkerton, but it's easily Top 5...and the Nirvana debate is pointless, because Nirvana got famous off of what Pixies invented. If you want to argue, argue about GBV vs. Pixies....

Classic song from a classic album by a classic band.

@TheRealImpertinent in 2009 amazon.com editors named it the best indie lo fi rock album of all time



This song is beautifully Beatlesque especially in the way the bass is played as the lead. I am really getting in to Guided By Voices now...anglophiles are awesome

Nevermind isn't even the best Nirvana album, hell of the 90's.
