>Sonic Youth >good but not top 20 Just for starters they blow Nirvana out of the water by literaly every criteria. Except Kurt's sex appeal.
Jaxon Price
>U2, the band that established what would be the standard sound of alternative rock and had influence more visible than that of the Beatles since the 90s roled in. >Not on any of these lists. Wow, Ok.

Kim had Kurt's sex appeal 2bad she became druggy
Bentley Morris
Compared to other women? Like Kim Deal? I'm not saying Kim doesn't have all the sex appeal Id ever need. Buy I concede that Kurts level of sex appeal exceeded her level.
Anthony Gomez
hahahaha yes! I love this list, rock and roll will never die!!! Nobody is too old for some good old fashioned rOCK! The top 20 are our last hope of real GOOD MUSIC in a world of justin Bieble and Nicky Minaj or whatever there names are!!!! Kids today dont know what real music is, I mean REL MUSIC PLAYED ON REAL INSTRUMENTS!!!!!!!!
I will be rocking out to these bands one all day (might even have a few drinks to go along with it (don't tell the wife!!))

topkek. unknown pleasures is a snoozefest

sonic youth is not 1/1000th as memorable as nirvana
u2 is a cult band, not in the good sense, like slayer. u2 is top 50 material not top 20. they are catchy but not musically interesting, like the foo fighters.
pearl jam is good but far behind the other top 3 grunge bands.
foo fighters are also good but as above, not musically interesting despite having lots of songs. rage against the machine is incredibly overrated, possibly the most overrated band ever.

How do you figure? Daydream Nation is objectively better than any Nirvana album.
John Miller
we both know it's not
daydream nation is cool but nevermind is on a whole different level entirely
the production, the musicianship (especially the drumming), songwriting, expression. nevermind is a genius album. daydream nation is a cool contrarian album
