I can't think of 1 band in the last 10 years I'd put on par with Nirvana or PJ...

That's a pretty tall order if they are your favorites, but I think bands like Arctic Monkeys, Gaslight Anthem, Kings of Leon, The Kooks, Raconteurs, Portugal the Man, Mona, Foals, Grouplove, and several others have a pretty good start at it.

Always felt Nirvana was overrated due to Cobain's early demise. Great band, just not the icon that people want to make them out to be.

People keep saying there is great music out there and post links to their songs and I'm sitting there shaking my head like nope this sure isn't it lol. There may be a song here and there that I lime but that's about it.

I seriously think a lot of people's musical preference is nostalgia and context. At a certain point, their artistic aesthetic becomes sealed, and they're no longer really open to different flavors of their particular preference. That being said, they might completely discover a different type of music (such as classical) and go about establishing new context.

Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, White Stripes, and Alabama Shakes are all very different, but I'd put their quality on par.

The year the GnR, Nirvana and PJ were all on the charts, '91 or '92, might beat a single year in that era, but that's it.

Tragic death at a young age never hurts, but they were already pretty iconic before he died.

The only thing that's aggrevating too me is that way too many artists are described as musical geniuses. So many of these white liberal music critics are afraid of being called racist, so they'll gush over Kanye Wests albums and call him a genius.
