Nirvana when they appeared just sorta passed me by...I was going through a major personal crisis ayt the time....

Still, I think that their performance on Unplugged is one of the best live musical performances ever. I also have two Nirvana bootleg videos. One from their Bleach tour here in Philly (good) and another in Argentina a few months before Cobain's death...he exposes himself and looks pretty burnt out...

They weren't the best (Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Pearl Jam were noticably better performers/songwriters).

Cournty Love? Another Yoko Ono of Rock...

Some bands stand the test of time (Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc).

recently relistened to 'wish you were here' - the music holds up really well.

By definition, there can be no "crap" artists, as long as they are true artists.. Britney Spears is not a true artist. She doesn't write her own music, so she is just a performer. There is a huge difference. Performers can suck ass. But an artist can never suck even if they suck at performing, because art is about expression (your feelings, your thoughts) and putting those things into a medium that can be reached by other people. Music, painting, writing etc.

Are you saying it is impossible for someone to be an artist who doesn't write their own music? Would people like Karajan or Maria Callas not be considered artists because they didn't write music?

Kurt Cobain -- all I have to say...
