This has been my hardest vote yet. But I went Who. Nirvana may have been able to catch them with a few more records, but the Who just have too many great songs.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

This is easily the toughest vote for me but I went with The Who because they have larger and more diverse catalog.

[Exile on Waveland]

Wow, this is tough. Only vote I really even had to think about. I went with The Who. While Nirvana's short stint only adds to their legacy (it's better to burn out than fade away), it does leave them as less accomplished.

[ManCrushOnNomar]

In my opinion two extremely overrated bands. Went with the underdog.

[USSoccer]

Nirvana is possibly the most overrated band ever. If Cobain doesn't die, they have a Pearl Jam/Pumpkins type career arc. Not bad, but not earth shatteringly great.

[Butterscup1679666578]

The Who, easily.

This is where Nirvana finally bows out.

[Derwood]

I'm about 10 years too young to have grown up with The Who, and while I recognize their place in rock history, Nirvana more fully impacted my views on music. I remember seeing the video for "Smell Like Teen Spirit" on Headbanger's Ball in 1991 (when Cobain was wearing the yellow gown..."I was told this was to be a ball, so I dressed appropriately"). I was completely blown away. I knew after hearing that song once that this band was going to be huge.

[CoolHandLuke]

One of my favorite bands versus one of my most hated bands. Easy choice.

[ResidentRoyalsFan]

How can I vote against The Who????

 

By voting for Nirvana I guess.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Yeesh, my quarter says vote Nirvana.

Certainly.

 

This is easy for The Who...or it should be. (still is rocking to Quadrophenia)

[Derwood]

Nirvana's going to need a late rally. I don't see it happening though.

Good thing too.

 

They should have never gotten past Cream.

the who

[NewUserName]

I voted Who. I probably would have voted for several other sweet 16 bands that lost over the Who though. U2, The Kinks, either the Doors or Jimi Hendrix and maybe Black Sabbath.

[Balsa]

If The Who loses this, I quit the forum.
