I know people have their own taste in music, as evidenced by the amount of crap being offered up as possibly legendary in this thread, but I can't imagine many people other than Foofighter15 think that Foo Fighters are even remotely close to good, let alone better than Nirvana.

Seeing all the different views here, perhaps the lack of potentially "legendary" musicians coming from today's group has to do with the fact that there are some many more choices, bands, genres etc. as well as methods to access all types of music whether mainstream or indy bands. Back when the Beatles and Elvis becoming supposed legends in seemed to be much easier as there were not the options out there to compete with for the market and fan base that bands have today.
