Possibly?

Plus you have to admire the way he proper did one over that self absorbed, patronising get Paul McCartney by taking him up on his advise and outbidding him for the Beatles song rights when they came up for auction in the eighties. Macca had to sit back and watch him coin it in by selling the rights to a Coca Cola advert.

Class.

For the sake of a balanced argument, Cobain did not kill himself by heroin (such an icon you do not know how he took his life?) and, although unconfirmed at present, I doubt Jackson died of a heart attack brought on from having plastic surgery.

He was shot/shot himself (depending on pov!) of course, but tried to ruin/end/f-up his life with heroin and came v.close several times.
There is a lot of similarity between the two maybe. Both so unhappy in themselves that they want to ruin their bodies and lives whether its by drugs or by surgery.

I have no doubt that Jackson's death will have been connected to the abuse he put his body through. Whether the surgery or the daily doses of mercury/god know what else.

This is uncanny CB - we ARE in full agreement!

Nirvana were better marketed. Dave Grohl is now in a much better band following Cobains' death and I was always of the opinion that Nirvana were not as good as other Seattle acts such as Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and for the first two albums certainly, Pearl Jam.

AIC were a top band.

Foo Fighters will never match anything as good as 'Nevermind'.

A great album indeed, considering Nirvana was never my kind of music. Same for the other bands mentioned. I dare say a little before my time.

How can you know that if you clearly dont know who AIC, STP or Pearl Jam are?

Nevermind was a decent album. But thats it

Not a patch on Steve Wonder.

Bizarre! How can you make such a comment? Of course I know who they are. I have just not commented on them. Why would I want to?

In your opinion. I wish I could make a "decent" album like that.

And fwiw Pearl Jam are dire. IMO obviously.

Even if I agreed with that statement, everything else Nirvana did was generally utter crap. Wipeout was unlistenable, Bleach had one good tune (About a Girl), Incesticide was just an out-takes album and In Utero was just a pile of noise with the exception of Heart Shaped Box.

Nevermind was adecent album but is right up there with Sgt Pepper, Pet Sounds and Whats the Story (Morning Glory) as hugely over-rated albums.

Fair point...as i said before...subjective...

Nevermind isnt even Nirvana's best album, thats my case
