one would think out of all those different age groups someone would have requested "smells like teen spirit". nirvana wasnt even a one hit wonder, they were a never was. they came around at a time when teens were looking for something different. its a moot point. nickelback is making money. that doesnt mean they're great. btw, anyone on this thread would switch places with them right now as is poison. nirvana, not soo much. peace out folks, im out.

I usually don't judge people I don't know, but you sir are an idiot. You may not like Nirvana, but by not even recognizing the scope of their popularity and influence, you have proven without a shadow of a doubt that you know little about music.

Great hilarity. The others are right to laugh at you. Because no one current requests a particular group at whatever lame events you DJ at, they are irrelevant.

That was a time when Nickelback made the mistake to play at a metal show. Europeans like metal. Hope they learned not to try to pass themselves off as metal again.

Nirvana wasn't even a one hit wonder?

You sir, are a retard.
Lol agree. 2 top 40 singles (Smells like Teen Spirit was #1), 5 top 100 songs, and 3 CD's that topped the U.S. music charts, all BEFORE Cobain died. Oh yeah, and they won a few awards :rolleyes:...you know before douchebags like (cough cough) modern DJ's took over MTV and the music was still good on there. That's my definition of a "never was".

This is from Wikipedia's website of the definition of a "One hit wonder". The countdown it refers to is VH1's countdown of the top 50 1 hit wonders of all time...

The countdown also omitted acts such as Jimi Hendrix and Grateful Dead who, while technically charting with only one single, became too well-known for their entire bodies of work to merit inclusion on the list.

And THAT is Nirvana in a nutshell. The whole point of their music was they didn't WANT to be popular. You have to understand what grunge is and who their influences/contemporaries (early punk rock, Pixies, Melvins) were to comprehend that. They wanted their original fans to buy their music and stick with them because they like the POINT of the music...Kurt Cobain wrote MANY times in his journal that he had NO interest in trying to make bandwagon meathead fans jump on board because Smells like Teen Spirit was the hit of the week on the jock playlist in the weightroom.

They didn't focus on making hit singles, they focused on making their music an experience that true fans and religious grunge followers loved and understood. Everybody else could fuck off for all they cared. So keep pumping your awesome Nickelback zerocool. I'll see you and all the other Dbags at the club acting like you're a badass, in pink polo shirts with the collars popped, no doubt.

I am not overly familiar with Nickelback but I am guessing that the worst band ever most people wouldn't have ever heard of because they would not have gotten a recording deal. Nickelback can't be the worst band ever.

This generation seems to exaggerate things frequently for effect.
