Nirvana

I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit in the early 90s and was hooked on Nirvana for the remainder of their time as a band, and then some. As a young teenager I was really intrigued by Kurt Cobain's persona - he seemed so destructive and creative at the same time, something that was new to me. Nirvana fused simplicity, melody and hard-rock to come up with a brilliant mix that was catchy, yet not cheesy. So influential have Nirvana been that I have seen many a band form to play nothing but Nirvana songs. Kurt's suicide was a musical (as well as personal) tragedy - I believe there was so much more he could have given to rock music. His legacy and influence live on: I still hear many new bands banging out Nirvana tunes at local gigs, and also hear Nirvana's influence in current bands like Cold and Puddle Of Mudd. I believe Nirvana will go down as the most important band of the 90s.
