I think he was in the 90s but (in case I've never mentioned this
) find his work in Gangs of New York and There Will Be Blood to be comically hammy. -

I wouldn't say it as I would be doubled over in laughter. I'd go out laughing, not a bad way to die I guess, well before the gutting.

Have we had Nirvana is overrated in the thread yet?

Same as Janice Joplin.
History is wrong on both counts.

But I'm ok with others having different opinions to me.

I donāt mind Nirvana to be honest but donāt see them as this seminal band. Joplin? Shouty, pre new-age hippy. You just know sheāll have very hairy armpits and BO. Less importantly I canāt think of anything she did apart from Piece Of My Heart that Iād care to listen to again.

Nirvana arenāt bad but theyāre still a very clear 5th in terms of bands of that era with dead lead singers behind Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Jeff Buckley. All of them had better songs and were better singers.
Not to say Nirvana are terrible, far from it, learning their stuff on the guitar definitely helped with the ladies in the mid 90sā¦ā¦.but definitely overrated overall.

I think with Nirvana it depends if they appealed to you or not. Nevermind came out in 1991 which was about probably my peak listening years. It was different, it caught me, it was a massive massive game changer for music for me. It was like somebody "got me". If that makes sense. I think in Britain a similar sort of thing happened with a lot of the youth population with Oasis.
Joplin I think has one of the best voices I've heard. It's got some serious grunt behind it and I'd go and listen to it live in a heartbeat if I could. I don't know how big she was before she joined the 27 club, but when I think of that era (hippies etc) the first name I think of is Joplin.

Yeah Nirvana are good but I haven't heard anyone say they're fucking super since... well the 90s.
A band that was super in the 90s was Rage Against The Machine, fuck me did I have some fun to that bombtrack.

Prophets of Rage have some catchy tunes.
