I don't care about influence. Yes, Nirvana hit it big and saved the world from a decade-long run of Kris Kross. I still would not listen to one song of theirs over Soundgarden. I don't care if you're the original when someone else comes along and does shit (that sounds) a hundred times better than you.
Nirvana is one of the most important bands in the history of rock. Soundgarden is a really solid band.
Saying Nirvana is overhyped is weird. It’s like saying the Beatles are overhyped. They were truly great for a moment.
Soundgarden was making heavy music because they thought it was kind of funny, stupid and fun. Later they basically started to veer stylistically into Nirv territory.
I’m saying this as a person who knows, likes and respects people in Soundgarden. Everyone in that band knows Nirvana is better and more culturally important.
Sorry but Soundgarden outside of the PNW and a certain age group has about zero recognition. Not saying they aren't a great band so don't twist but Nirvana has more staying power despite being dead for like 25 years.

Poles are now closed. This one ended in a tie of 23-23. As your co- President Pro Tempores of the BOTB, @Tequilla and I cast the tie breaking vote in favor or Nirvana.
