That is your opinion. As someone that remembers what the music scene was like back then, Nirvana was the shot in the arm the music world needed in those days or else would have been resigned to Michael Jackson and the lite-metal of Bon Jovi and Poison. Continue to deny it if you must but Nirvana forever changed the face of music in ways few other bands ever have. Of course they were only the pinnacle of a much larger community of musicians. Those I will take any day over "hair metal" or the current teen pop brigade that rule the airwaves.

And that is YOUR opinion. Just because Nirvana came along at a time when music sucked doesn't mean they were good. It just means they sucked less.

That's not an opinion, that's a fact. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" knocked all that teenybopper metal off the charts right along with Michael Jackson's spot at number one. Not only did Nirvana have a huge impact on music back then but so did the grunge movement as a whole. Cobain's death also left an indecipherable gap on the music world that is undeniable though I'm sure many of you will try to say it didn't.

The part highlighted in red is what I meant when I said it was YOUR opinion. Did the music industry need a shot in the arm back then? Probably so. Was Nirvana that shot? Not in MY OPINION.

Go back and look at the charts when "Teen Spirit" hit then come back and tell me they weren't the "shot" that ridded the airwaves of the teenybopper hair metal bands. The success of the Nevermind album and that single were unprecedented by a band like them at that time. Continue to deny it if you want to but history and the facts will prove you wrong.

Mindy Smith is getting played on CMT. I've only heard a little bit of her music but so far I like what I've heard. Hers is a fresh voice amongst the same ol' same ol' Nashville continues to pump out. There may be hope for "modern" country music yet. At least XM's X-Country has it right.

I don't watch CMT that much - and for some reason the name isn't ringing a bell either....what song/video is getting play?? I'm sure I've heard it.
