Nirvana changed the face of rock for sure. I'm sure every record label that signed any band after Nirvana was hoping they just signed the next Nirvana, but that's like saying the guy who signed Nirvana was just hoping he was signing the next Beatles or Michael Jackson. I get what you are saying, but think it's a very loose and vague interpretation.

I guess I feel like certain musicians and bands should have earned the respect of anyone calling themselves music lovers without taking their personal opinion of the band's music in to account. I think Green Day has worked their way in to that category over the past 2 decades and you disagree with my opinion. *shrug* That's cool.
