[img]graemlins/wtf.gif[/img] It BLOWS my mind that Nirvana's "Nevermind" consistently ranks higher than VH in these "meaningless" polls.

**Leprikawn7** · 07.16.02, 06:57 PM

Courtney must be blowing the guys again at Blender! Thats the only way they get that high in the rankings.

What was #1 and #2?

Barry Manilows greatest hits and Mr. Rogers sings the Blues?????????

**wip5150** · 07.16.02, 07:32 PM

This type of list is 100% bullshit. Joan Jett!?!!?!?!?

**SlashNIzzy** · 07.16.02, 08:24 PM

Well, "Nevermind" is an important album and should be at least in the top ten. The top two albums listed were AC/DC's "Back in Black and GN'R's AFD.

Someone name me ONE band that shows any sort of influence by Nirvana or any of the Nirvana band members.
Technically? Don't think so.
Lyrically? Nope. "I Hate My Life" lyrics were around before Nirvana.
Vocally? Nope.

How about Van Halen?
Technically? case closed right there.
Lyrically? Maybe, maybe not.
Vocally? DLR's scream. I rest my case. SH's screech. I rest my case.

It's not really that much bullshit, VH has been popular in NA and stuff, but I kinda equate it to The Tragiacally hip for the simple reason that in Canada they sell out Arena's, in the US they are just another bar band. In Europe VH open's for Bon Jovi. I hate Nirvana, but that list doesn't look to far off the mark to me.

**BrownSound1** · 07.17.02, 08:23 AM

Van Hagar opened of Bon Jovi, but I doubt that the original line up would have.

**Burning Tires** · 07.17.02, 08:37 AM

Is Andrew W.K. really a "rawk veteran"?

I did not know that. What did he do before singing cheesy dance-metal?

**Yoda knows all** · 07.17.02, 08:53 AM

MMMMMM....message Yoda has for all you anti-nirvana robots....Yoda thinks ears you have clogged and no radio if you can't hear Nirvana's influence on music today.....mmmmmm

**youbsittinpretty** · 07.17.02, 09:17 AM

If you look at all the popular "rock" tunes today, they sound nothing like Nirvana. I'm not saying they take their cues from VH, but there's definitely a hint of Van Halen in all the popular rock tunes today - especially Van Halen I.

**Dahno33** · 07.17.02, 09:20 AM

Number 1 was Appetite for Destruction. Can't remember what 2 was.

**DLR'sCock** · 07.17.02, 10:15 AM

I dig Nirvana...they are kool with me! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

but I have a wide taste in music...

I was so happy when that idiot blew his head off. Karma is a bitch, what can I say? He KILLED HIMSELF WITH DRUGS! Don't ask me to feel sorry for the guy. He took the easy way out his whole life and then ended it all with a shotgun, what can I say?

As far as the Nerdvana "influenza" goes it's only because of real alternative bands like the Meat Puppets and the other bands that Kunt ripped off that we think Nerdvana "influenced" other bands.

The only people who were upset about Kunt No-Brain dying were his bisexual and gay junky buddies from his home town whom he gave heroin to for oral favours.
