They got me into music and I love everything they ever recorded. Very special to me personally. Love them as do many people I know so I'd say nope, not overrated at all.

Pretty much the same with me really, and I'll happily admit that. If it weren't for listening to my sisters copy of Insecticide back in primary 5, who knows what would have happened with me in regards to music.

They're underrated these days, if anything. People have got used to the Foo Fighters radio-friendly take on their schtick and just see them as "that dude who shot himself before Dave got big". Remember they were already pretty much the biggest band on the planet by the time Cobain committed suicide, so I don't think that event had much positive impact in terms of their popularity today.

Yeah, I guess it's much cooler to post depressing and whiny comments on ab-music than listen to Nirvana...

I think there's no doubt that their music has been propelled by Cobain's death, but I think the music they created was amazing and I don't think it could be regarded as over-rated. Nirvana released me into many other types of music and has inspired bands to create great things.

I think Nirvana would have also continued to produce brilliant records if it had not been for the death of Cobain
