trying to find a down side to this.

for real though, nirvana only had nevermind and bleach while foo fighters have had colour and shape, nothing left to lose, and wasting light which is one more good album than nirvana ever made.

I really only dug in utero by Nirvana while I like NLTL, C&S and WL by the Foo's so they win by 3 albums to 1 imo.

I don't like nevermind because 1, I just don't think it's that great of an album, though territorial pissings is a great song.

Maybe I just hate nevermind because it's the only thing 90% of hipsters know about while wearing their swimming baby shirt.

Nirvana is terrible. Foo Fighters are really terrible. hth

edit: from wiki "Grohl dropped out of high school in the beginning of the 11th grade. He still does not know how to read sheet music and writes his music only by ear" How the gently caress does someone not take the time to learn sheet music when your entire profession is music?

if you're learning jazz standards or bach's lute suites or some gay poo poo like that maybe, there's nothing in a foo fighters song any pro musician wouldn't pick up by ear instantly.

i have this pet theory that everybody who worships nirvana has never actually heard any of their albums in its entirety, and is basing their opinion off of critics and the singles they've heard

they're very overrated.

i think the problem is that their song lyrics are very superficial, when nirvana's were much more brooding and heady

grohl's not a great lyricist. he can't word good. just watch any of his interviews

if TCATS had been an album full of songs about drug abuse, rape, and failure, and the typical things that hipsters fawn over, it'd be held on a pedestal to this day as Nirvana's second coming. but instead it's a bunch of songs about nothing at all, so it sounds good but it's like musical empty carbs.

then the second and third came out and i'm like "lol he's an AOR factory"

he's a good songwriter and ok musician. doesnt mean hes got anything worth saying or a show worth watching
