There's a difference in more abstract or "profound" titles released in 2009 and those issued, say, up to '96 or so in a desperate attempt to win back your grunge-blinded audience. While Nirvana (and their Pacific Northwestern ilk) is a key influence on today's rock landscape/marketplace, they're not direct competitors (the forthcoming <i>Bleach</i> reissue notwithstanding).<br><br>Again, that's just a suggestion. The Nirvana demarcation stats are always a fave with me in this series. Keep rockin' those faces. One more thing…I'd suggest a cutoff year for Post-Nirvana song titles.

Congratulations all around but, wow, the timing just ain't cool, you know?
