Meh...there is nothing wrong with anyone's opinion when it comes to their taste in music or any other creative endeavor IMO. Nobody is right or wrong here. That's why the Grammy wards are usually horribly off-base each year...rem. Jethro Tull winning "Best Metal" group? 'Nuff said.
I was looking more into the social impact that Nirvana had on each of us and the industry as a whole. They sold 10+ million records back in '91/'92 and literally changed the industry, IMO for the better.
Today, we have Nickelback topping the charts due to the release of "Nevermind" and I thought that enough is enough and that we needed another major upheaval to keep our interests.
While AIC was probably the most interesting and creative band, esp. their harmonies and musicianship during that time, their sales and impact didn't have anywhere near the influence that Nirvana did -OR- even now!
What's next?
Who's going to change the industry?
Is it even possible now with CDs on the decline and digital distribution making the industry less about sales and more about 'connections'?
