Finally, a VH1 countdown I can enjoy! :) I only caught part of hour 1 (songs 100 - 81), but WDIAROM should totally make the list in my opinion!

You know it won't though. It'll be smells like teen spirit at one, everybody hurts at 2 and ironic at 3. Or something along those lines.

the count is done...

and, I'm agree with Smells like teen spirit in 1º position, but then, for example Wonderwall is in the 35º position, I'm not agree with that... Travis doesn't even appear,and there is a lot of yanquis one hit wonder, who really sucks...

this list is shit

Smells Like Teen Spirit is far too overplayed and overrated.

H8ers !

yeah , they're no Flipper , Frightwig or Steel Pole Bathtub but the reality is that song did touch a large segment when it came out . trust me . I watched a 3rd or 4th string well recieved indie band get dump by the hipsters when the 14 yr olds discovered them . Now their first or 3rd albums are the ones people claim to like but really Nevermind is a fine album .

Now the tila Tequila shopw , what is the appeal ? ride the Muni to the folsom st fair and you'll see the same thing but live

I would go further and say that Nirvana and far too Overplayed and Overrated, would they get so much airplay if little spoiled junkie boy hadn't done the world a favour and offed himself??

You should keep your eyes open for VH2's Indie 500 they usually show it over a full weekend and while I'm not sure all of it is strictly Indie... they're's some pure gems in there.

I understand that they kind of started the grunge craze, but regardless of whether Kurt Cobain committed suicide or not, I just don't feel their music is worthy of all the praise.

But Grunge would have come about anyway, I reckon, they sorta "borrowed" their style from people like The Pixies, who in turn sorta "borrowed" their style from people like Husker Du. I seem to remember someone saying that their were a good few bands of the same type & caliber kicking around Seattle at the time, I also think Dave Grohl wuld probably make it with whatever band he turns too, I'm not a huge fan but I do admire his gusto.
