Nirvana or R.E.M and why?

I would have to say Nirvana just because they put out that song Teen Spirit. I remember when that song came out, myself and everybody I knew, both boys and girls, all started wearing Teen Spirit deodorant. I remember seeing in the boys locker room at school, all the guys were using Teen Spirit deodorant just because of that song and we would sing that song all the time. Such great memories, I still use Teen Spirit today just to remind me of the good times.

Although I like both Nirvana and R.E.M., I'm going to have to say Nirvana because I believe that their music is much better.

I like both bands, but I prefer R.E.M.; I love R.E.M., and albums such as Murmur, Reckoning & Lifes Rich Pageant are masterpieces. Nirvana is good, but I like R.E.M. more.

I choose Nirvana, because i believe i heard them 1st first before R.E.M. they are both good bands but they have different genre.

personally i like both but i guess i'd have to pick R.E.M. because there catalogue is a lot bigger and as much as i think Nirvana were great, i can't listen to Kurt album after album like i can with R.E.M.

Nirvana.

I'm not a fan of R.E.M. (except for their song "Get Up")

R.E.M and I don't like either of them. Nirvana is just an REM clone

Rem

because they made 100s of great songs

in the top 5 bands of all time

Country feedback(live) is awesome

Nirvana made 1 half decent overated album (nevermind)

and the singer tops himself

Rem v Nirvana? no contest

Nirvana, R.E.M went down the shitter after the 80s.

Nirvana. R.E.M. are pretentious and uphold a "holier than thou" attitude, which annoys the hell out of me. Plus, Michael Stipe is not a good vocalist.
