#5 Guns N' RosesThis one was tough. But the fact that “Welcome to Jungle” is my go-to karaoke song, my vote goes to G N’ R.

#1 NirvanaThe wrong front-man committed suicide.

#1 NirvanaVery little passion about this one either way, could have been the one and two seeds. Both bands who self destructed (if for different reasons) before putting out a huge body of work but what they did out together is fucking legendary. Ultimately smack > yayo.

#5 Guns N' RosesFuck Nirvana that is all.

Nirvana though had 2 great studio albums vs 1 for GNR. Nirvana basically brought a whole new genre to the forefront. GNR took Stones, Stooges, New York Dolls, Zeppelin, Aereosmith, etc, and blended it into an updated gritty and ballsy type of hard rock / metal, but I don't think it was as revolutionary as Nirvana.dnc said:Very little passion about this one either way, could have been the one and two seeds.

#5 Guns N' RosesMy cousins friend was a total grunge fag. I remember him making fun of me for sticking with hair bands when we were drinking and driving 95 while my cousin did blow off his girlfriend's tits or whatever (only a small exaggeration) on Highway 200 in Idaho and Montana in June of '93. Backpack and Jstyles or whatever, don't act like this. Bill PSA.
Oh yeah, my point: I hated grunge and grunge snobs for a long time. Go GNR -

#1 NirvanaIt is amazing watching everyone trying to rationalize not voting for Nirvana. We get it. You're not a Northwest stereotype. Not impressed. GNR is good and all but nothing compared to Nirvana. Also Duff is a Husky Fan you wretched homers.
-
#1 NirvanaNot even close. GnR was a good rock band in the style of other rock bands.
Nirvana changed popular music and culture.
Also, Fuck LA bands. -
#1 NirvanaFuck ya!

#5 Guns N' RosesAbsolutely 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

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 KurtYellowSnow said:

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.BearsWiin said:

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.YellowSnow said:
