June 14, 200718 yr I'm actually pretty sick of both, but historically I have enjoyed SLTS more than ETS...just!
June 14, 200718 yr Depeche Mode. SLTS has been overhyped & overplayed to death & Lithium was the best single taken from Nevermind.
June 14, 200718 yr While I do love DM, Teen Spirit is one of the greatest singles of all time and I will never get sick of it.
June 14, 200718 yr Nirvana killed metal in the '90's, I think, so, I can never give them a yes vote in any poll. I voted for DM, as I still like ETS, but PJ is my top song from DM.
June 14, 200718 yr Nirvana killed metal in the '90's, I think, so, I can never give them a yes vote in any poll. They just killed that bubblegum glam metal like Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt etc. which was definitely needed. Thrash was still going strong . In fact the year Nirvana broke big, Metallica released their most successful album.

Yup, most people agree that killing off the likes of Poison and W.A.S.P. was a good move. The top metal bands like Metallica and Guns n Roses still kept their fanbase, although the latter fell apart by their own means. My top DM song is probably 'Dreaming of Me'.
June 15, 200718 yr im not a fan of depeche mode.... but i still prefer them to nirvana... sorry if its sacrilege but i dont like nirvana! held up as something special, maybe they were, and they were better then all that big hair metal c**p (comming from the uk and growing up with sabbath, purple etc i could never take 80's metal seriously, they were parodying themselves and smacked too much of middle america).... but nirvana never hit the right spot for me. interestingly i do like the foo fighters, whos material in comparison to nirvana is much 'safer'.
June 16, 200718 yr DM again... "...Teen Spirit" just got totally over-played and over-hyped.. Nirvana did FAR better songs than that..... "Lithium", "All Apologies" and "About A Girl" being three that spring immediately to mind..... And I totally agree with Grebo, the "Metal" that Nirvana did kill was the horrendous LA Glam c**k-Rock bullsh!t like Motley Crue, Poison, Tigertailz, etc.... REAL Metal like Iron Maiden, Metallica, etc was relatively unaffected by Grunge, and Nirvana should be credited with giving a different, more edgy breed of Metal like RATM, Tool, Fear Factory and Machine Head a lift up....

I stamd corrected, and thanks for the clarification, as the end of 'hair metal' was a positive step, but, the whole grunge thing will never be my cuppa. * goes insearch of Soundgarden and Alice in Chains cds...*
