Who is more overrated? Guns and Roses or Nirvana?

I like both, but I would have to say Gun and Roses.

Those who say Nirvana is overrated have never really got into them. I used to think Nirvana was terrible, and could not understand how anyone could like them, but then I actually gave them a chance.

Nirvana brought alternative rock to the mainstream, and despite being the one of the biggest bands of all time, didn't sell out. Their songs are diverse, and every album is diverse. Sure, some songs suck, but 80-90% of their songs are really good. I admit, they are sorta the beer of music, they are defiantly an acquired tasted.

Guns and Roses are not that overrated either to be honest. They just didn't have the impact and influence Nirvana brought to their own respectable genres.

In the end, everyone is entitled by their own opinion. There are defiantly going to be alot of fanboys on this post, immediately downvoting the opinions they dont agree with. The winner of this question will really be determined on the age of the people viewing this (the older crowd will say Nirvana is overrated, and vice versa with the younger crowd, with a few exceptions by both crowds.)

You really should give Nirvana a chance though, just saying. Here are some good songs if you just want to give them a chance. Their lesser known songs are their best in my opinion. Of course, many of their better known songs are awesome as well.

FILIPINO DEBUT QUESTIONS?

Venue - 15,000 - 120,000
Shortlist by identifying estimated number of guests, preferred location and budget. Some venues have in-house caterers, some have their own sound system, others don't. Some venues are dedicated for events - Oceana Even Place behind MOA, C2 Event Place in San Juan, Ibarra's Garden in Ermita, Fernwood Gardens, Fernbrook Gardens, Palaysio de Maynila in Roxas Blvd Manila, Blue Leaf Pavillion in McKinley Hills, Taguig. You may also consider hotels or restaurants. Cheaper alternatives are clubouses inside subdivisions / villages / membership clubs.

Caterer - At least P350 up per head. Go for tried and tested caterers. Ask friends and relatives who have organized catered functions. When you attend parties and like the food, ask for the supplier. Verleo's catering, Josiah's catering, Carlito's Lechon, etc. Premium hotels on the other hand, charge at least P1200 per head +++

Lights & Sounds - P5000 up

Photobooth - depending on the number of hours and the type of setup, P3500 - P12000. Those that use strobes and special lighting give you better photos. Some offer magnets and other souvenir gifts to go with the photos. Some offer green screen to superimpose photos on digital backgrounds.

Cake P6000 - P60,000++ depending how many tiers, how simple or complicated, how much of the cake is styro vs edible cake, cake flavor. The more expensive ones can create very realistic replicas (flowers, vines, characters, objects).

Choreographer / Dance Instructor - try "Jun" 0915 seven eight nine five five one one. Or ask dance studios for referrals
