Uhhmmm the moment he appeared with Digital Underground on The Same Song, everyone I knew that liked rap thought he was going to be good.
Pitbull and Khaled will never be considered legends.

Definitely never seen her. Any songs of note that would warrant being mentioned alongside Cobain and Tupac?

For a while, he cornered the whole “I got a guitar and learned to play it in 2 weeks and formed a band” guitarist.

Of all the grunge music back then, Nirvana/Cobain we’re by far the worst. STP/AIC/soundgarden etc.....so much better. I’ve NEVER understood the Nirvana worship, or Cobain. .

- 2-Pac wasn't considered great by anyone who enjoyed rap prior to the start of his career. If you grew up while he was in the spotlight, I'd get why you might think he was good but meh. He got himself killed and now he's some sort of legend
- Cobain was pretty talent-less. The producer, Butch Vig, made chicken salad out of chicken shit. Grohl would have left regardless, (notice how Krist Novoselic isn't a member of the Foo-Fighters). Again, I get if you were a kid you would think they were good but feh
- Selena wasn't that hot and had thick eybrows. She would have been replaced by Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, (after she fixed her eyebrows).

When I was a kid I loved Ghost Busters. I watched it after 30 years with my daughter and thought "meh".
Pitbull and DJ Khaled will be considered genius legends in 20 years. Music has taken a horrible turn.

These are fun. So what if there had never been a Narvarnar, a Selena, or a Pac? Smells Like Teen Spirit was just the right place and right time. They could've easily ended up just being another band from Seattle and sold what was at the time to be projected at around 50,000 units to be a success. And not exploded bringing a scene to national attention. AIC was already making their way, at least the members of PJ would've eventually found their way into being a serious rock success, and who knows if that would've been a mix of some of the guys from Soundgarden

Well, Mother Love Bone was the first to get some national attention. Though Andrew Wood ODed on heroin and died just before that. From that came Temple of the Dog and from Temple of the Dog came Pearl Jam. The Seattle scene was already getting some attention before Nirvana blew up. If not Nirvana I think AIC would of been the band that heralded in that sound.

Funny thread. People like Cobain and Tupac basically paved the way for the garbage music we have today.

You're right in a lot of ways. What year do you think that music died?

That's right. Mother Love Bone had some great shit too. Plus they had their own sound of a little bit glam and a little bit grunge for a great style. It's a true shame that Wood died. They should've just plugged Cornell in there and kept on truckin'
