I'd put Nirvana in the same mould as The Spice Girls - right place right time - but were really just the face of something that already existed.

Not saying I don't like it - just saying it was nothing New.

King Crimson, Mud Honey, Neil Young, and a host of others developed the Nirvana sound long before they ever did.

Joy Division, Hendrix, and Eddie Van Halen - started something completely new musically.
Sorry to be a hater, but meh? Music is subjective, if someone can make better sounding music today than 30 years ago, I'll listen to that instead.
I've listened to all the classics, I was brought up in a house that had music on all the time, I studied music in high school, I was in a shitty band, Ive done the whole thing. I appreciate what they did, and I will respect the music, but there's music being released today that sounds better than what was released 30 years ago.

I'll always go back to the albums that formed my musical tastes and taught me everything, but I'd rather go find something new to listen to every month or so and expand my horizons.
