I might disagree. Foo Fighters have clearly left their mark and are a great band, but Nirvana was the spearhead that changed the direction the music industry was going. When Nevermind came out radio and MTV were being dominated by hair bands and the glam rock sound. A year later many of those bands were all but dead and radio and MTV were being dominated by alternative rock bands. Some of the big glam rock/metal bands survived, but Nirvana helped usher in a new sound and they gave rock a new identity.

Foo Fighters have never played a Nirvana toon live to my knowledge, and the surviving members of Nirvana have never performed as Nirvana since Cobain's death. :)

From NME last year (I know you know what that is Sarah):

I thought about that. I know the impact Nirvana had...it was basically the death of hair metal, and I saw it happen with that one album. But just being alive for the last 20 years making music, collaborating and all of the other projects Grohl has his fingers in makes me feel like he's just as -- if not more important -- than Kurt Cobain at this point. Just the breadth of his work is amazing. He's existed as a big force in the rock world for 4 times longer than Nirvana, and showed he's more than that guy behind the drum kit flinging his hair around.

this is coming from someone who practically worshipped Kurt Cobain up until his death.

last days is a good watch. it is a dramatization about the last days of kurt's life but not sure how accurate it is filmmakers have to be careful with documentaries/dramatisations they should be true to history it might still be on youtube to stream. the actor who plays him does some pretty crazy shit again not sure how much it reflects his history.

Fuck off if you do not agree.

I am a huge R.E.M. fan so that works for me on a personal level but since he is Frances Bean's godfather that make sense for the band too.
