Okay, let me clear things up, because now that I'm flame king it gives me the excuse to think I have some kind of authority, and I can also be EVEN more arrogant.
So yeah, Nirvana:
1) They were popular way before Kurt shot himself.
2) He wouldn't be WORSHIPPED if he didn't shoot himself. He would still have the same number of fans but I seriously doubt if they'd be as fanatical.
3) His music is over-rated.
4) Doesn't mean it isn't good. His stuff helped get me into rock music way back at the wee age of 8 years old. They were one of the first records I've bought. Their music wasn't very deep, but it made up for that fact by being quite catchy. They were a good band, but I with a large universal appeal. And I thought the unplugged CD they did was seriously bad ass.
That said, there's better stuff out there. Anyways, there's my 2 cents no1 cares about.
