So I have a problem. I used to think that Nirvana was an overrated, bloated, over-hyped middling grunge band. Boy was I wrong. I'd like to thin I have good taste, but I 've spent some time listening to Some of the classics, like Nevermind and In Utero, and I finally realized that they were pretty good ablums. It's almost never that popular demand and art collide to make history, but with this band and their "landmark" albums, that very thing took place almost instantly. I suppose I didn't like Nirvana enough to defend them, or even give them a chance, but upon further examination, as with many other "modern classics," I have warmed to the prospect that they are one of the truly great bands. If you want to out me for blatant sarcasm, go ahead.

I know that it's the new thing to make fun of everything that happened yesterday, but when all is said and done, what will you be left with? The industry will keep going and you'll be left with your deluxe copy of Neon Bible and an un-burnable copy of Hail to the Theif. People don't ever, ever ask the question of why we buy music, or want to be on TV, or be the first to be there for something, anything. So the result is that in the name of authenticity and industry, the best are maligned and we get left with nothing but the most mediocre, sickly sweet elevator music. Come on! Do you really like Shainia Twain? Or Sheryl Crow? Apparently you do.
