Why not share yours first mate before us? 
Nirvana -  my Highschool mentor in music and up to now even though the band is not in play and the vocalist is dead(Kurt Cobain [/quote]

Oh I'm rather old, I was an adult when Kurt Cobain died . (but in terms of Seattle grunge bands, I liked Pearl Jam more than Nirvana. But then I also liked Pixies, Souixsie and the Banchees, Morissey, Nine Inch Nails and Sisters of Mercy who were not grunge bands)

My favourite "bands" are very diverse: from Pink Floyd to Lisa Gerrard to Beethoven.....
