Very well stated, Trace !!!! You can relate to Nirvana like I did to The Beatles ... you have to be there ,,,music is subjective...I don't knock people's choices !!!...I just hate BROAD statements with no reasoning or detailed critique !!!!
i.e. The Beatles Suck !!! why...no reason !!! man I hate that !!!!.. I consider this of no value whatsoever and not even an IMHO reason !!! There's no constructive dialogue !!!! It adds nothing to the intelligence of music discussion !!!

A bunch of teenagers crowded around a car listening to a cassette play through the speakers. One of my peers had run up to a group of us excitedly saying 'Come here! Come here! You've got to hear this!" It was a big deal. I was already listening to bands like Jane's Addiction, Alice in Chains and moving away from the mainstream. I'm not sure why Nirvana had the bigger impact. I guess you have to credit Kurt. I guess when I asked recently where are all the rock stars of today , that's what I meant. Who is this generations Nirvana or Beatles or whoever? Please tell me something is on the horizon and my kids will get to feel that excitement!
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
