Are we primed for some sort of societal rejection of the lil wayne's, Nicki Minaj's, Katy Perry's, and Ke$ha's of the world? Maybe not to the nihilistic extremes of Nirvana (though it was extremely seductive to those with half a brain), but a return to non-synthesized vocal effects and actual instruments. Real music with real emotions. Thoughts (as I jam out to some LMFAO haha)? Opinions? Weigh in here

Not in my opinion. Kurt was outgunned even back then....Anything Kurt and Nirvana could do, AIC could do 10x better.

Maybe so, but AIC didn't have the mainstream impact that Nirvana did.

So who took AIC's place?




Godsmack - Speak - YouTube

Godsmack - Keep away.wmv - YouTube




And you can pull up at least 30 more classics and hits by the same.

Depends on who you ask. For 80's/90's metal fans and guitar lovers, AIC laid waste to Kurt.

It's hard to say for sure. One thing that is for sure, these cats are a hard act to beat IMO. It tears tween bubblegum Pop to pieces.

Yeah, I like Alice in Chains, Godsmacks a bit hard for me but listenable.

But Nirvana played just enough pop sound in their music to also crossover to the top40 charts leading the way for grunge which was a rejection of '80's commercialism.

Nirvana was showman enough to play on conventions, and he'd be doing that today if he were new. Most people my age remember Nirvana's "baby penis" cover on Nevermind, for instance. And the cover art is still making waves on Facebook. I can't recall any AIC or Godsmack cover art.

And here they played on the Beatles in their Ed Sullivan appearances, which is a cool concept video.
