Nirvana....WAY Over-rated.....I think Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters are churning out some better music than they did w/ Nirvana.

Not a big Springsteen fan either....Great Song-writer.....but he needs to get someone else to sing.

I'll even agree with you about townsend being just an average Guitarist....But his talent w/ that band was as song-writer. Entwistle and Moon were the musicians of the Who. Moon could work magic on those drums and Entwhistle's Bass playing, Especially on Quadrophenia was Awesome.

And you mention them not being able to compare with a band like the Stones, as far as musicians they are over-rated too. Keith Richards is also an average Guitarist, Charlie Watts is terrible on the Drums, and Bill Wyman is an average bassist, Ron Wood is a decent guitarist but I think his better days were back when he played with The Faces. I don't think they would make it without Mick Jagger's on stage presence.
