[IceNineKills]

[The Undertaker]

they're rubbish.
^^ agreed

[Blinger1]

I like only one of their songs... And I can't even remember the name!

[RedStratocas]

their legacy outweighs their actual talent, but yeah they could write a tune.

Smells Like Teen Spirit or About A Girl :P.

[Richie]

Personally I don't like them. I'd say the best band / artist of all time would be daft punk.

[Neil]

Nirvana are terrible..

[untrustus]

smells like teen spirit is one of their worst songs, but all 3 of their albums are excellent, as well as the unplugged stuff.

[cocaine]

i think they are a pretty good band, but not the best ever.

Past tense people.

Lyrically and instrumentally great, vocally dire, but that's how grunge was, and the dodgy out-of-tune vocals give it that certain sound no other sub-genre of rock has.

IMO, the best band is to be put into your own opinion, everyone has a right. :D

My best band, would have to be Slipknot. Amazing live, adrenaline-filled songs.

Although my music variety is a lot more varied that just stereotypical heavy metal/rock. :P

Jebus.

[untrustus]

regardless of opinion though, best band ever is the beatles.

depends on what variable makes them the best. i think you could arguably say its the velvet underground thats the best, cause they've had almost just as big of an impact on modern music as the beatles but sold a tiny fraction of the amount of albums.

[Misawa]

That's an opinion right there - i.e. my opinion of The Beatles is that they were a revolutionary band, but lyrically flat and instrumentally average.

As for Smells Like Teen Spirit's lyrics, yes, an example of not so good lyrics, but that's one song. A lot of their stuff is extremely deep and powerful, especially if you knew Cobain's psyche.

yeah but nico/andy warhol kinda ruined them.

edit: also gotta completely disagree on the beatles being 'instrumentally average'. in certain songs you can hear how talented they are, but usually they just chose to keep it simple, because the likes of fiddly guitar playing doesn't necessarily mean a great song. also lyrically, i'll agree mccartney can be a bit weak, but lennon and harrison were spot on.

I'd say so.
