Fortunately, no one is the same. To me it was quite the opposite. I grew up listening to hard rock, but I was always interested in more sophisticated styles of music. By the time I was about 28 years old I had studied jazz music (electric guitar) for approximately 7 years and by that time I lost my interest in music. I was only listening to the bands I loved when I was still a teenager. Then a friend of mine, who‘struggled’ with the same type of problems, told me he finally found a band he liked after what felt like ages. It was the album Ten by Pearl Jam. I listened to it and I agreed. This was kinda cool. However, I don’t think I ever finished the entire album. At least it was music I could feel, so I decided to try more Seattle based bands. And then there was the day when I rented (yes indeed, rented) Nirvana’s Nevermind. My hopes were low. I knew ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ and I thought it was okay, but not much more than that. But then…. next song. Loved it. Third song, ff’ing great. Fourth song…., still good. I was waiting for the moment when it would start to bore me. That moment never came. I was blown away. I loved every single record on the album!!! You see, when I was a kid I loved music and some of the bands I loved more than anything else were ‘simple rock bands’. But now that I knew everything about music I literally could predict every song I heard on the radio. The music I was into at the time was very sophisticated, but it never gave me the same kick I got when I was young. Nirvana gave me back the joy in music. It was all about energy. The last chorus was exactly the same as the second and the first, which is something I didn’t even allow myself to do when I wrote music. Nirvana proved that you can get away with that, as long as you kept in the energy and as long as you had a great sense of melody and harmony. Grohl took it to another level and the production was amazing. I don’t want to sound overdramatic, but this album really brought back my joy in music and thus my joy in life, since music was all I lived for. 😊

Yeah I get it, for what it’s worth I always thought Boston and Rush were terribly boring and almost can’t stand the music. Everyone has the sound they like, if we all loved Nirvana no one would do anything different

@Jayhawk9. Try: Molly’s Lips, turnaround, been a son, sliver, about a girl, lithium, in blooom, breed, love buzz, and drain you. Or skip the entire list and go to drain you and lounge act

To quote Kurt Cobain “Then why are you here?”
