Which band is better?
Nirvana Vs Rage Against The Machine
RAGE! RAGE! RAGE! RAGE! RAGE!
They're so good, they're songs aren't supposed to be allowed to be played on the radio by radio stations.
"RAGE! RAGE! RAGE! RAGE! RAGE!Yeah, riiiiight...
They're so good, they're songs aren't supposed to be allowed to be played on the radio by radio stations."
Nirvana may be overrated by today's standards, but when they were huge in the 90's they had captured the angst and emotion of a generation. Musically they may never have been great, but they were certainly the most important band of their time.
P.S. Rage sucks. Smashing Pumpkins were the best group musically.
"Business Patron said:Well I don't know if the radio thing is true, read it on the internet somewhere. But I never do hear Rage on the radio..."RAGE! RAGE! RAGE! RAGE! RAGE!Yeah, riiiiight...

anyway Rage for me is better than Nirvana.
"read it on the internet somewhere"I feel like a douchebag for quoting this part, but it cracked me up. I hear Guerilla Radio all the time. I'm pretty sure their label would can them if they couldn't get radio play. Unless they're on their own indy one now.

"To tell the truth I dont ever hear Rage played on the radio....but maybe it's just my local stations"Same here...
"Slinger said:Some local rock station on cape cod, WPXE maybe?. They play them from time to time, though I don't know if Rage had a hit recently that can affect airtime."Business Patron said:Really? what station is it on?""read it on the internet somewhere"I feel like a douchebag for quoting this part, but it cracked me up.

Nirvana by a little bit, though Morello is the best musician of the bunch and it's nice that Rage is back and still hangin' around showing us that there are still bands out there with something to say. I like both enough. Neither are my favorite, but if I was forced to choose, and I'd never be able to hear one again, I like Nirvana's catalog a little better.
"To tell the truth I dont ever hear Rage played on the radio....but maybe it's just my local stations"I'd imagine it has more to do with their resistance against censorship (and thus, the forty F-bombs that would make it onto the air with each playing of "Killing In The Name Of") that with their quality.
Nirvana didn't become over-rated until after Cobain died, when everyone jumped on the "I'm sad because a band I just got into's lead singer died" bandwagon. Much like what happened when Johhny Cash died.
"Yes, but the difference (IMO) is that Johnny Cash actually had talent."I wouldn't say they didn't have talent. You seem a little bitter...
"Sorry...I just don't like Cobain and how people idolize him even though there was nothing about him worth idolizing..."I'd just like to second this. Cobain was pretty worthless. I also hate how famous quotes such as "It's better to burn out than to fade away" are attributed to him instead of the person actually responsible for the quote (Neil Young in this case).
"Sorry...I just don't like Cobain and how people idolize him even though there was nothing about him worth idolizing...I completely agree with the first statement 100%. To me, he's just a piece in a cog, nothing too special about him. The band, as a whole, pretty awesome, but yes over rated.
Really I have no problem with anyone else likeing Nirvana that is thier opinion. I was just expressing my own opinion....hence why i said IMO"
