because it was completely new and created a whole scene, sound, attitude, it was fresh and no posing, genuine and creative, artistically coherent and over the top, and all the shite bands which wouldn't go forward and were dwelling on the past glory got their ass kicked out by 'smells like teen spirit', bands like def leppard for exemple. i can understand you don't like the music, but being open minded, imo, is not saying you have a jeff buckley album, i think it's more about respecting good stuff even if you're not into it. nirvana is a classic, and saying you think they're crap is like trying to prove you're a rebel or whatever. it's like coming up and saying pink floyd are shite. useless

As soon as Nevermind came out, all the girls with cowboy hats and leather skirts disappeared from the rock clubs we went to. To be replaced by stripey tights and dr martin wearing vegetarian sheilas. They may have done a classic album but they sure ruined my heavy metal youth

yeah but better this than 14 years old puffs with extra large pants, balls collars, spiky hair and slipknot shirts.

 

[Forlorn Hope]

That's a fact!

according to your description, mehdi, black sabbath is, like, the greatest in history. for they brought something REALLY new and refreshing to the scene!

 

[sol83]

Sabbath are the best thing that ever happened to music. Period.

no way, mariner, no album from seattle (even nevermind) comes near soundgarden's (i dont remember the name, been a long time since i last listened to it and im too tired to get up to get it...something with "motor" in it...)

i love nirvana, but lets not exaggerate it.

BADMOTORFINGER that is and it's awesome!!!!!!!!!! Soundgarden is one of the most unique bands ever-regardless from the music type.And I'm so sorry that they split up before I saw them live

I just said it's one OF the most unique bands ever. And we really should make a comparison all the time in such topics?..

[sol83]

Yes. And bad.

 

[Don Corleone]

they're way bad now yes.but I remember they were there with some good songs at the times when there is no Anathema (or any other bands I like), in my world at least

I hate denying some good stuff just because it's not metal, you know

special p.s for Strangelight - I remember you've asked me whether Opeth and Anathema are that similar so I must say that this is not a comparison-again- so relax

 

[Strangelight]

I just wondered why they are often mentioned together. Ive not heard Opeth for years so I dont know. I am relaxing though, just about to put New Jersey into the CD player

 

[Mariner]

The only reason I could think of is that both bands are making smart music, and as Anathema still belongs more to the metalscene then the rockscene ( ) people still mention them together...
It's a bit the same with Katatonia and Anathema
and Opeth and Katatonia
This isn't a coincidence.

 

[sol83]

Glam is shit!

 

[moody]

glam is dead anyway
