Nope, they're not
I mean, how can anyone compare Kurt Cobain with Jim Morrison? You're going to compare Smells Like Teen Spirit with Riders on the Storm? Or Lithium with The End? Or Heart Shaped Box with Crystal Ship? Really, are you serious???
And as for comparisons to John Lennon....John left his family, and that sucks. But he wasn't so selfish as to kill himself and leave a tiny baby behind.
No way!
Perhaps nirvana is 'rock' music that has indeed become 'classic,' but i dont think people mean just that when they say classic rock--so no way is nirvana classic rock! To me it's definitely a sound. Nirvana is too far away from blues to me, i think, to be classic rock, and its not the right era to be grandfathered in.
What about 'real' rock n roll, in your(anybody's) opinion, did they bring 'back'? Its not a rhetorical question. They put out some good stuff, but i dont think they brought anything 'back.' What was it that reminded people of 'the good old days' or what have you?
I agree with Rich's comment from July 9 2008. I was a teenager when Grunge became popular, Nirvana were one of my favorite bands and I still remember perfectly all the buzz about them during the Nevermind era, they were very good and Cobain got back the classic rock star image/charisma that, in my opinion, had been lost during the 80's, I would wait another 8 or 10 years to put them under the Classic Rock definition, and I really am not quite sure if Nirvana would fit into the genre, if there is such thing, I would today, categorize them as "Classic Alternative Rock" I think would fit better.
If anyone's interested here's the link to a site I made some years ago with scans of Nirvana stuff I collected mainly from my teenage years (1991-1995) has a lot of stuff from the Nevermind era.
Cheers,
David
