Rock band or not, Nirvana aren't in the class of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin or Queen.

I think its pretty obvious that they are, considering 30% of people on this forum classify them as the best rock band of all time ;-) :D
I estimate about 30% of people in this forum are morons!!

This coming from someone who has Michael Jackson dancing as his avatar. :?

Nirvana were a grunge band. They were the death of rock music. Cobain actually refers to them as punk rock. I mean I don't mind them actually, I like Lithium & come as you are...but geeez they're around for 3 years before Love killed Cobain, and you guys think they're the greatest thing ever. Cobain couldn't even play the friggin guitar!!! Bar chords..yay. :roll:

This poll has ben f**kt since it was started...all the good bands were in the same heat...

If Cold Chisel win that will be the final straw...this band couldn't even get a gig over seas because they where that crap and now there being voted as one of the best bands ever along side Led Zepplin???....if the band hasn't sold atleast 3 million albums they shouldn't be allowed into some a prestigous contest!!

Go Zep!!!

well call Nirvana what you like, they still don't deserve to be in the poll. Cold Chisel only has one good song too.

come on!!!!! even foo fighters (my second favourite band!!!) are better than Nirvana!!!!!!! it doesnt take a great band to do what Nirvana did i.e. just headbang and sing and play like shit.
Atleast these other bands are talented!!

If the band can posses many of the above then they are worthy of being labelled or there about's the best. Record sales are important as it shows how many people can relate to the band....which obviously makes them a great band to have such a gift.

30 year olds just like crummy 80's bands instead of crummy 90's bands

for me, the best rock bands are the ones whose studio work i enjoy listening to most

Led Zeppelin epitomised all the bets aspects of rock and roll - great music, personal excesses, chicks, drugs, tragedy, massive record sales - the lot.

Greatest band I have ever heard - As Robert PLant said in Los Angeles on night three of six in a row in June 1977

'It is indeed a pleasure to be back for the third night - but how weak the mortal frame!'
