One of the Best Bands of all time. They delayed the domination of rap and pop for a few years and allowed rock to regain it's title.

A criminally overrated band fronted by Kurt Cobain. Though some good came of the band and the associated grunge scene (the destruction of Poison and Ratt), the negative effects were far more pronounced. Real metal was dealt a crippling blow as well, and depressing heroin rock was able to dominate thereafter. Though grunge died in 1995 with Cobain, the effects of Nirvana's "whiney generation" revolution are still being felt today. Nu-metal and mallcore filled in the vacuum left by heavy metal, mimicing the simple chord progressions and detuned guitars that were present in the grunge movement. Post-grunge rock, which has blossomed into many lackluster subgenres, still bears the simplicity and downcast attitude, as well as the whiney vox of the grunge movement.

great band they had simplicity in their music and didnt need and computerized crap like linkin park and limp bizkit. Nirvana and other seatlle grunge bands gave us a few years of good music and then it gradually turned to mainstream stuff which is all about looks and who appears the most "ghetto"

Nirvana is actually a word used in Buddhsm that means a state of bliss and tranquility. The band Nirvana, started off in Washington in 1987, but ended on April 5th, 1994, when the lead singer, Kurt Cobain, was killed. Rumor has it that it was a planned murder by his wife Courtney Love, considering that his suicide note was not in his handwritting and he had way too much heroin in his system to use a gun correctly. Plus the gun was wiped clean of all fingerprints. How would a dead guy do that? God Bless Kurt Cobain.
Nirvana is the best band ever created, and who would of thought they would be catagorized as "grundge".

One of the most ovverated bands ever. they suck. get over it. They were put out by MTV as just another fad. Everyone who says Kurt No-Brain was a good guitar player should shut their fuckin' mouths and go listen to Yngwie. their sound was not helped by No-brain's so-called "singing", which was actually a drunken moan. they provided half of the influence for mallcore(the other half being rap). The only musician among them was Dave Grohl. although most nirvana fans will agree when I say that Courtney love should BURN IN HELL!!!!

Nirvana sucks. Kurt Cobain is not a hero, he was just a depressed drug addict who liked to moan about his life.

1: A state of religious bliss that is held in belief by Indian religions.
2: A band that was quite good, but is terribly overrated. The lead singer, Kurt Cobain is often undeservingly held in the same esteem as Hendrix, Clapton and Jesus in regards to greatness. Cobain eventually proceeded to stick a shotgun in his mouth and blow his head off after becoming amazingly popular and wealthy.
