Who was actually better: Nirvana or Bush, and why?

Question

That’s like asking who’s better between Lebron James and Andre Emmett.

No one will know who Emmett is unless they look it up.
But I saw him play live and the man was a magician.
Still not in any sort of conversation with Bron.

Nirvana is a household name.
You can say Nirvana in the smallest village deep in the mountains of Tibet and people recognize them

But I couldn’t think of a single Bush song to save my own life.

I give the edge to Bush, but considering what The Foo Fighters accomplished after the loss of Kurt Cobain, it’s fair to suggest that Nirvana might have gone on to unimaginable success, leaving Bush in their dust.

Nirvana. They were original. Bush was always being accused of copying.

Ooof. I can't remember. It's the farthest thing from my mind.

Nirvana, easily 💿

They weren’t just a band, they changed the whole landscape. Kurt’s songwriting had this raw, poetic vulnerability that still feels timeless, and “Nevermind” basically detonated mainstream rock. Bush were solid and had some catchy tracks, but they mostly surfed the grunge wave Nirvana created.

Nirvana = innovators. Bush = stylish followers. 🎸

Watch the MTV Unplugged of Nirvana covering In The Pines, a 100+ year old folk song that Kurt put his own spin on.

I like Bush and have seen them live several times, and I know every word to Glycerine and most of their first album, but they've never done anything close to that Unplugged performance. It's just no contest.

I probably still listen to Bush more often than I do Nirvana. I listened to Bush more back in the late 90's as well. I had a friend that was really into Nirvana and Silverchair though.

I don't think those two bands even belong in the same conversation.

Bush is literally a 2/10 opening act at best… Nirvana were pioneers of their genre

If you mean Kate Bush, yes. Totally amazing artist.
