Top 10 Reasons Why is Nirvana is Overrated
Nirvana is a good band but they are extremely overrated and that's what this list is about reasons why they are overratedThe Top Ten
His guitar playing skills were very basic. I didn't even need his confession to make this conclusion. The solo to Smells like Teen Spirit is one of the easiest solos of all time.
Even Chad Kroeger from Nickelback is a better guitarist the he was
His guitar riffs are simple and pretty repetitive.He himself even said that he is not a great guitarist
Cobain's voice always seemed like nosy to me.
That's true and so illogical to regard a band as the best for one song
And That song is Smells Like a Overrated Song
And that song sucks and isn't even their best
And its not even a good song let alone theirbest
Layne Staley and Chris Cornell are so much better that I would say they are from a different league - whole another level of vocal skills.
True. Cornell was miles better, and Staley and Vedder were both better. Even Weiland probably had a better voice than Cobain did.
Example Layne Staley and Chris Cornell were better vocalist than he was
True but at least he sounded somewhat better than Scott Weiland in my opinion.
In terms of musicianship, all 3 bands from the Big-4 of grunge were actually better. Strange, eh?
Pearl Jam does more complex arrangements on most songs than Nirvana could have attempted.
Example Soundgarden Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains are better than Nirvana
Alice In Chains' songs are better.
Yes, and namely this is the reason they became the most popular grunge band. The majority of people like simple songs.
Because Kurt isn't a great guitarist the songs are really simple
Sure it's their best with the other 2 sucking even more. Bleach being a dull Melvins cover album and In Utero with it's lame attempts at grit and throwaway "experimental" songs. Alice in Chains were the far better band with the far better albums, hands down.
Nevermind is a good album, but why do people treat it like it's the best grunge album? It's not the best grunge album, or even the best Nirvana album. In Utero makes Nevermind look like garbage.
I love the cleanness of Nevermind but In Utero is much more interesting and better.
Dirt by Alice in Chains was a Better Album than Nevermind was
Its because Kurt Cobain died.
Just because Kurt died doesn't change the fact that they only made 3 albums, 1 that was ok, 1 bad one and 1 that is overrated as all hell
Lets see if they are the greatest band ever then why don't they have more albums oh wait we all know why
The riff sounds similar to Eighties - Killing Joke
Still a damn good song
And it’s also literally their only good song.
Just like Hendrix. While Hendrix was really good at guitar he wasnt the best but just think of it if cobain was still alive nobody would say he's the best
Kurts death has a lot to do with their popularity
The Contenders
Alice in Chains Soundgarden and Pearl Jam are better than Nirvana
Agreed here. there are better
Still a good band but plenty better ones excluding Pearl Jam. I don’t like Pearl Jam for some reason. I can’t get into them
Mainly the songs on Nevermind
Cough cough, rape me, moist vagina, territorial pissings, cough cough.
Depends on the song but songs like Rape Me aren't what I'd call radio friendly...
Exactly and that's why they shouldn't be on the top ten of the greatest bands of all time.
That’s because kurt died...
Sadly this judgmental trope repeats itself throughout history
I don't think this was a good reason on this list but everything else was a good reason
Here I don't agree. It's their credit they could made grunge popular.
I don't agree with this reason.
Because of how overrated they were Metal Bands weren't getting the attention they deserved the only metal bands that got attention were Metallica and Pantera
