yeh, but soundwise isn't that important to music is it? (yes yes, i know what i just said...)

This question is completely unsound.

The "g'n'r that it's ok to like" comment kind of acknowledges that everybody liked g'n'r anyway, doesn't it? just that they had a bit of the "hate myself for loving you" guilt about it.

do streets sound less like ssc than nirvana sound like gnr?

the whole NME initial point is bit nuts once you think about it hard, but it sounds true. which makes it interesting.

anyway the idea of 2 bands being different versions of one another somehow appeals to me.

anyway it's really meant as an insult toward Nirvana, right? "not only are they OK to like (ie no threat to anyone), you're actually just like from the hair-metal bands they're meant to replace."

I meant to type: "they're actually just like the hair-metal bands they're meant to replace."

When it was just beginning to explode, I remember my older brother saying "Smells Like Teen Spirit" reminded him of Metallica...

I can only think of old ones:
The Gin Blossoms are the Babys it's OK to like.
Pearl Jam is the Bachman Turner Overdrive it's OK to like.

Andrew WK and Darkness. Only, for sane people it is not OK to like any of those either. Let hair metal rest in peace!

I hear the "Deftones and System of a Down are the Korn it's OK to like" line way too often. It's wrong, too.

― Siegbran (eofor), Friday, 5 December 2003 14:22 (twenty years ago) link

This thread proves a point I made ages ago abt Nirvana being like GnR, or something, so nerr to Dave Q, basically.

― N-Ri-K (Enrique), Friday, 5 December 2003 14:26 (twenty years ago) link

WTF? Nirvana doesn't even sound like GNR!!

― Cacaman Flores, Friday, 5 December 2003 22:23 (twenty years ago) link

i was expecting "radiohead, the prog it's ok to like" before any coldplay reference, but...

― Felcher (Felcher), Friday, 5 December 2003 22:46 (twenty years ago) link

I am not saying there are lots of similarities, but both GnR and Nirvana were hard rock bands.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Friday, 5 December 2003 23:16 (twenty years ago) link
