Define 'overrated'. I liked Nirvana, tried to get into Smashing Pumpkins and did, never heard Weezer. But I live in an isolated community. What are you talking about, advertising or people talking about them?

to rate or appraise too highly; overestimate



It is not exactly a question that requires too much thought.
It is YOUR opinion, not what magazine articles or critics say/said.

I don't have an opinion. Not having an opinion is better than an opinion because it's a fact: I don't have an opinion.

Smashing Pumpkins, by a long shot, though the development of St. Kurt is a bit mystifying too

Yeah, not on the level of the guys in Soundgarden, but I think he learned as he went. Smells like Teen Spirit was almost straightforward enough to be a Ramones tune. Not that it matters much, I think the world was getting pretty tired of guitar wankers by then anyway.

What I meant is that I find it very strange that kids who were 4 and 5 when he died go on and on about him, the way people my age do about Jim Morrison or Hendrix

Good points.

I never really thought Kurt was all that talented when it came to playing guitar. But as a song writer, he was pretty decent.

Nirvana.... but you should have had Radiohead on the list. They'd win.
