Everyone seems to think that Nirvana stopped before they got bad and I agree totally.
No one seems to mention that Fugazi didn't do this.

I don't know a lot of people who think Fugazi has gotten bad.

Lame. Next.
This isn't Fred Durst prancing around with a Joy Division t-shirt. Nirvana went out of their way to bring underground bands into the spotlight, everyone from Flipper to the Vaselines, Meat Puppets, Big Black and so forth. Being at an impressionable age when I first got into them, when bad bands creep to you like rapists in the night, this was a godsend. Almost like they were saying, "Hey, we're alright, but these guys are ten times better than us. Check them out instead." There are enough good songs in the Nirvana catalog for them not to be saddled with the silly "gateway" tag.
Precisely. Nirvana are not good (or bad) because they were a gateway to other bands; their relative worth is based on other elements, primarily musical one hopes. I was not dismissing Nirvana; I was dismissing the gateway argument, which has been used to champion bands not nearly as good as Nirvana--Soundgarden, for example.
For the record, I never saddled Nirvana with the gateway tag--I was arguing against it.
