joeybagadonuts Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Saw the Grateful Dead a few times including their last ever Bay Area show before jerry died. They put on a good show but I hate hippies so it was hard to fully enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Chapo2017 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I kind of get Holly but certainly not Janis at all. She is nails on a chalkboard singingwise and a sloppy drunk on top of it.Yeah... But, Joplin was Iconic in that era. The first really balls to the wall rock front woman (from that Psychedelic 60s Era). Light Years more ballsy than Grace Slick, for example. Monterey Pop, Woodstock, etc. But, I can see how somebody could rate Cobain ahead of her. Strictly a matter of opinion. BOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

housepicks Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Nirvana had 3 weeks atop Alt Rock Singles charts in 1993 with Heart Shaped Box, RHCP had 5 with Soul to Squeeze.Nirvana did not appear on the mainstream charts, STP, Blind Melon and Pearl Jam did In 1994 Nirvana was on the alt chart for 2 weeks with All Apologies and one week with About a Girl. Pearl Jam had one week. No other Seattle sound made the list.Nirvana did not see the mainstream list. That was dominated by STP, Pearl, Collective Soul, Alice and Soundgarden. Looking through the Billboard charts I can't seem to find anything that would indicate cultural status for Cobain or Nirvana. 1) it’s cult status. And that ain’t short for cultural.2) cult status is non mainstream popularity. 0-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of those rare, rare cultural moments, the same sort of thing felt with the assassination of John Lennon on Monday, December 8, 1980, and the death of Elvis on Tuesday, August 16, 1977.
