Yup, very bland. Though Grohl does seem like a decent guy who loves to "rawk", I was never a fan of Nirvana in the first place. I will point to this SNL performance backing Jagger in 2013 (I know only Tep and me care ) - it does help to have a some great songwriting and a front-man who can sing and deliver the goods. And they actually comp "It's Only Rock n' Roll" the original studio way - what with Kenny Jones' off-kilter rhythm pattern (which Charlie, at the time, said he couldn't better, so they didn't re-record it) and Grohl at least attempting Bowie's backing vocal part. The Stones have never played it remotely close to the studio original, for whatever reason (just turned it into another Chuck Berry chug), and Mick does seem inspired on this performance. So there's that...

We should have a disco thread, I love disco music.
Disco was often lazy and inane, especially once it became mainstream popular, but the best songs beat the fuck out of mainstream rock of the period. I'm not sure I'd fully trust someone who didn't worship "Love Train."
