Nirvana Punk rock ?

I'm speechless !

Well, I think that Nirvana probably have far more legitimacy on the Punk/Metal Forum than stuff like My Chemical Romance or Blink 182...... :lol: And considering that Kurt was a big fan of bands like Killing Joke, The Vaselines, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedy's, etc, his Punk credentials are not without merit. The live show I saw of Nirvana way back when (in a tiny little dive in Glasgow in '91, just after the realease of "Nevermind") definitely had the vibe of a Punk Rock gig about it..... :D

 

Nirvana were a different band live to the one on album.... Much more raw, more immediate, more Punk....

and i think i read that courtney love (star of more4 doc on wed) has had most of the punk rockers on the circuit in those days anyway :lol:

 

and on the subject of indie i think this telegraph review actually talks some sense (even though dont actually know who Pooh Sticks and Half Man Half Biscuit are)

Twenty years ago, the NME compiled a giveaway cassette called C86, which chronicled the emergence of a pop movement it christened "indie". With band names like the Pooh Sticks and Half Man Half Biscuit, the scene soon became stereotyped and derided as twee, jangly guitar music for fey boys and girls with cardigans and bowl haircuts.

 

The nostalgia train for the anniversary is already in full motion, but the underlying simplicity and DIY philosophy of indie pop continues to be hugely influential on new bands, as reflected on The Kids at the Club. The sound hasn't moved on massively, and the ghosts of Morrissey and the Velvet Underground still loom large. But the names are inspired - Salty Pirates; Suburban Kids with Biblical Names - and the unsneering enthusiasm is endearing.

 

The compilation's standout track comes from the Swedish collective I'm From Barcelona, and their own debut album is full of more relentlessly sunny anthems. Made up of 29 friends and with a name inspired by Manuel from Fawlty Towers, they manage to create odes to building tree-houses, oversleeping and suffering from chicken pox that feature exuberant, singalong tunes, and have nothing twee about them. Enough to make you want to join their gang. Bernadette McNulty

She used to hang around with Julian Cope/Teardrop Explodes, Echo and the Bunnymen and most of that lot in Liverpool in the early/mid-80s... She got a rep as being a "bit of a bicycle".... :lol: :lol:

 

Which kinda begs the question...Just how OLD is Courteney Love.......????? :o :o
