Simple test: can you come up with an acoustic drone song that is actually interesting? NoBrain could never do it, while actual next level melodicists like Neil Young (multiple songs) or even John Lennon ("Norwegian Wood") regularly could.Even some contemporaries of NoBrain totally mog the shit out of him. Compare Beck's acoustic drone songs like Black Hole https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZAmv-Vr220or Ramshackle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVDaJK5Kagsagainst dog shit songs that go nowhere like Something in the Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VxdufqB9zgIt's like night and day in talent difference.
>>131907467Yeah but he was a tortured genius just like me
>nobrainMeh
>>131907467Black hole is a beautiful song. Underrated beck tune. Almost seems like a bonus track on MELLOW GOLD so I barely noticed it for yearsKurt wasnt the greatest at those I agree but he was good at coming up with teen anthems that were repetitive and catchy. The repetitive angle was something imitators were terrible at but he was able to get peoll3 singing along to the same lines over and over. Its just now that most nirvana songs are so badly overplayed now and they're boring to listen to esp stuff like Lithium or Rape Me
>>131907514yeah, I give him credit for taking some hard core guitar band elements and making catchy (essentially) pop songs out of it. that was kinda new at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6EDW5WFb2M&list=RDJ6EDW5WFb2M&start_radio=1
Kurt Cobain was a genius, and Nirvana was the greatest rock band of all time, unquestionably.
First one is a Led Zep Rain Song ripoffSecond is a dime-a-dozen country balladWhile SitW is a unique song for which you won't find a model.Not with those notes or that rhythm
>>131907467It's insane the influence that kurt cobain has in music, style and pop culture. He's probably the most notorious pop icon since the 80s. Every day and every week there are at least 5 different threads talking only about him, not nirvana, him. The year will be 2060 and people will still be talking about him.
>>131907467He died too soon, we didn't see his full potential.
>>131907875you won't find a model for it on record because it's a literal beginner guitar song that any sane person won't even play for friends because it's so dull.if nobody knew it was Nirvana, literally everyone of those brainwashed nigga's who claim to love it now would be asking 'what the hell is this dog shit song that goes nowhere'?but now it's the 'boo-hoo, that poor nigga lived under a bridge, that's so heavy' song. kek.
>>131908125And here you are still whining about it like 40 years later. What have you written that anyone gives a shit about
Nirvana was ok but wasn’t anywhere near the GOAT bands like Beatles or Smiths. A lot of it is the cult of personality around Cobain and him being handsome and the whole celebrity suicide thing
>>131907467He was already out of ideas. In Utero was overflowing with filler. It's a good thing he an heroed when he did otherwise everyone would've realized how limited his talent was.
>>131908141I literally linked to songs from the same era in the same style that were 100 times better.it's y'all worshippers of people who die young that try to blow up a good but not great act who literally made one good album and a few good follow-up singles into Mozart.
>>131907467>Troon>Epitome of white suburban activist >"""Depressed""">Made worse music than his wife>Made WAY worse music than his wife's boyfriend >"Owww my tummy hurts :(((">Junkie manlet>Didn't wanna be famous, signs deal with major label and makes pop-rock album>Disliked by his bandmates, friends, and peers>Would be drawing PoC feminist zines if alive today>Left behind daughter>Is currently a pile of ash rotting in Courtney's storage unit>Entire "legacy" consists of $125 hoodies sold at Urban Outfitters
>>131908218Wow, I guess I don't like what I like anymore.
>>131908884like who you want. I mean some people think Motley Crue is the best rock band everwhich is all well and good in private, but just know you're going to get clowned if you claim the Crue or Nirvana were among the greatest in public.
>>131907467Cobain made songs for the everyday people, not music nerds even if he himself was a music nerd, it's why he popular and those guys aren't.
>>131907467Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson Courtney Love and Marilyn MansonYou′re all fakes, run to your mansionsCome around, we'll kick your asses
