    Absolutely easy choice. Was grunge even a thing after 1995? I still listen to Appetite Lies and Illusion, haven't heard a Nirvana song in maybe ten years

    Was GNR even a thing after 1991? No, because Nirvana killed them ded.
    GnR resuscitated hard rock when it was on life support after being pussified by hair/glam bullshit. Nirvana headed the grunge movement. Both were flavors of the month that lasted a couple years. GnR stands the test of time for me; Nirvana, not at all. Nirvana didn't kill GnR; they did it to themselves, just like Kurt


    And Styx sucks
    And GnR did a damn good job of it. I still listen to Appetite regularly. Still, Nirvana wasn't just the leader of the grunge pack, rather, they made alternative the mainstream style of the 90s, which was a YUGE deal. Hell, even by '93 GnR was doing an album of punk covers, which is a testament to Nirvana's influence.
    Influential? Certainly. Revolutionary? Meh. Popular music tastes were changing at the time anyway, and like I said hard rock was already on life support. And at the end of the day, they weren't even the most listenable of their genre. Give me some STP, Pearl Jam, or even fucking Alice in Chains before making me endure Cobain's pretentious mumblings. And, like Marilyn Monroe, the best thing for the group's enduring legacy was Kurt dying young so nobody had to watch him become an embarrassing shadow of his former self.

    Hate both but wish Axl Rose's mom had free access to an abortion.

    You could also have wished for fentanyl to have been widely available in the mid-80's

    Poles are now closed. Despite a hard fought first half, Nirvana controls the 4th quarter to win rather easily 28-19. @Swaye will be looking for Nirvana scalps in the Elite 8.
