The Pixies? Are you kidding me? They aren’t grunge and never were. They’re more a pop and alt rock band than anything. Nirvana and The Pixies aren’t in the same place

Accurate for you maybe but it’s not at all accurate for someone else since music taste is subjective. I’ve only heard one of those albums and it doesn’t even crack my top 20

I like Muse but I don’t love them. I enjoy their music but I completely understand why people don’t like them and in some cases can’t stand them.

Their style is very unique in the sense not many bands were doing prog/space rock in mainstream rock at the time so since they brought something different to the table they got popular super fast and when that happens a lot of people get burned out fast. Also their style isn’t the most beloved style of rock by any stretch so I totally understand the reasons of people who don’t like them.

For me personally that’s not the case. Most of music I listened to in that period I find to be good but I don’t love it.

I feel it’s more about where you are in your life when it comes to the music that you love because people change so their tastes change as well

They’re not because they didn’t mold the entire scape of what became a certain genre. That’s why to me the best band of all time is Led Zeppelin because rock and roll as we know would cease to exist without them. They laid the groundwork for every band to exist after them, Nirvana included.

Now I’m not saying Nirvana wasn’t important or influential, they most certainly were because they brought a sound and a city to the forefront of mainstream music but I don’t personally feel Nirvana was a true pioneer in terms of their impact on music as a whole.

Nirvana was a great band, the band of an entire generation but I don’t feel they’re the best that’s ever existed.

I totally agree. I feel there’s a lot of music or listeners who don’t notice the artistry of lyrics and how impactful lyrics can be in a song. To me there are a lot of songs that lack depth lyrically and are nothing more than a means of cashing a check, but that’s just me.

I’ve also noticed that as I’ve gotten older, I notice and comprehend the complexity of lyrics much more than I used to when I was younger even with songs I’ve been listening to my whole life. It’s quite interesting to see how mood and age change the perception of lyrics.

Robert Finley, Kingfish Ingram, Living Colour, Ayron Jones, Radkey.

There are a ton of greats in both the blues and rock genres both past and present as well.

Måneskin is a great. They cover various sub genres of rock and are continuing to improve with each and every release.

Prophets of Rage are a great combo of rap and hard rock. It’s members Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, and Rage Against The Machine, it’s amazing.
