wild"While Kurt Cobain was initially influenced by bands like Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith, he later distanced himself from them due to concerns about sexism in their music. Despite this, he acknowledged their musical influence and even performed Led Zeppelin covers with Nirvana."
yeah hard rock and grunge aren't exactly different worlds like people like to believe. grunge is a direct offshoot of hard rock in the broader sense
Nirvana is the least 'hard rock' of the big grunge bands though tbf

more sludge but yeah
also you heard the earliest Alice in Chains stuff where theyre basically still just playing glam metal?
even Facelift got a good bit of that too 
Apr 15, 2025·2 repliesDepends on what you mean by "greatest". Funkadelic technically played rock music and they can wipe the floor with any rock band ever. Nirvana might be the most impactful though.

WhoIsHeWeThemHahaha no
Alice, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam were all better.
Faith no more were better.
I personally think Them Crooked Vultures wipes all the bands you mentioned.
But in the big scheme of things yeah it's Nirvana, they got the hits, the cultural impact, the tragic story, their timing couldnt have been better, their impact on a whole generation of kids

grunge was less of a sound and more of a movement that took from a handful of genres in different degrees

its kinda cheating to go further back in time for impact but i dont think they quite touch Ramones, Velvet Underground, Byrds, Beach Boys

If anything one could argue qotsa is better than some of the bands mentioned but even still that’s an argument yet to be made. That supergroup stuff ehhh
For the fun of it I’ll say it’s quotsa over soundgarden (never cared for them), they’re prob as good as Pearl Jam and Alice is better

And lots of f***in noise rock too
They say grunge died but it just fell into noise genres

The more I thought about this, I think the title goes to the Replacements. They should have been the biggest band in the world if they didn’t self sabotage.
