I always think they're at their best doing "anthemic" stuff (Walk, Rosemary, learn to fly, Everlong etc), the quiet stuff bores me & the shouty stuff grates after a while.
They're terrible.
I think they're terrible and Nirvana were massively over rated. However, I keep watching stuff with Dave Grohl in on the telly box because I like his enthusiasm for stuff. That song in Sonic Highways about Chicago blues is just awful but I like the fact he wanted to do it.
I don't like Grohl either. He's like a shit Stephen King.
I quite like some of Courtney Love's songs.

I thought I'd give Foo Fighters a go as I'd not listened to anythign for a very long time so picked up In Your Honour and apart from a few tracks on side 1 I struggled, so much so I didn't finish it and went onto some Mike Keneally (one of my staples - so a step backwards in terms of listening to new stuff).
Maybe my tone "mini Chris Cornell" sent this thread into the route it's taken, I was really hoping to find a track where I thought his vocals jumped out or conveyed a range of emotions, that'd explain (as ICBM put it) why he got someone else drumming for him.
I love No Way Back - but I think it shines more when bunged in a playlist of different music
I still struggle with this concept a bit, even 20+ years after the event. Angry looking young men in the right place at the right time, and to say they were solely responsible for killing the somewhat broad brush genre of '80s/hair metal' is stretching things.
They didn't help, but the bombast and excess of that colourful decade had all but died out by 1989 anyway so the soundtrack that accompanied it was bound to pass by the wayside too, just like the '60s and '70s.
Kids that didn't like Poison and Whitesnake already hated them by the time Nirvana came along and popularised what was ultimately to be a short lived, miserable genre of rock, They already had The Pixies, Black Flag, Sonic Youth etc to listen to, and none of them dressed like David Coverdale or wore their hair like him even before Kurt turned up looking like a scruffy student with a shit out of tune guitar he could hardly play.
