    This thread really needs to be closed. So much massive idiocy that starts and ends with suggesting that Nirvana would be worthy of such a title. Don't get me wrong, Nirvana were awesome and so much of my high school years is intertwined with their music, but fucking Nirvana? Best American band ever? You've got to be joking.

    The problem is that nobody set up criteria for what makes a band the best. Is it sales? Staying power and Longevity? Albums produced? Appeal to a wide demographic of people? Admittance to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Influence on future bands? Respectability?

    • I did begin the thread by saying sales, influence and innovation. I think that's enough don't you?HijoDMaite
    • Yeah, I missed that I think. :)

    • nevermind alone was the biggest album ever produced. it changed fucking rock music.uuuuuu
    • we're talking influence and popularity you can't really argue with Nirvana. biggest band of the last 20 years and the biggest band in 20 years after nevermind.uuuuuu
    • the biggest band of the previous 20 after nevermind.uuuuuu
    • It changed music since music was fucking awful at the time. FYI so is Nirvana. Worst band ive ever heard.CygnusZero4
    • "RAPE ME" in that awful smoker drug addict voice. Just garbage.CygnusZero4
    • yeah rape me was definitely a low point for kurt cobain. cut it from inutero and I think its a masterpiece of heavy rock. better than nevermind.uuuuuu
    • better than nevermind.uuuuuu
    • I think Rape Me is a great song and I would put In Utero in the same class as Nevermind.CyBrainX
