Well, what's your yardstick? Putting aside the obvious (to me) difference in actual musical ability of the respective artists, check out the sales...

Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory
Worldwide sales: 10m copies

Nirvana - Nevermind
Worldwide sales: 26m copies

Soundgarden - Superunknown
Worldwide sales: 21m copies

Not to mention Pearl Jam's "Vs" album holding the title of "quickest-selling album of all time" from 1993 until 1998, having sold 950,000 copies in its first week of release (which was more than every other album combined that week).

Err, what I actaully like listening to

So by the same methodology The Sun is the 'best' UK newspaper because it sell the most. Popularity does not equal quality.
 
f***ing Love Soundgarden and a bit of Alice in Chains, never really been a fan of Nirvana due to my understandable hatred of Teen Spirit.

spent all last night listening to Nirvana thanks to Spug......it seems the old adage of you not knowing good music until you get older rings quite true as i can see why they are an excellent band
 
Find most grunge really boring tbh. Understand it's importance though in getting rid of al that ridiculous hair metal that was around beforehand like.

As an aside, Dave Grohl is clearly more talented than Cobain ever was.

How's that clear?

I disagree entirely!
