I don't know if you can say one is better than the other. But Nirvana is definitely more influential in that they created a signature sound (the soft/loud type of grunge rock) that has influenced many other bands and musicians. Also Nirvana has better more deeply felt lyrics.
Smashing Pumpkins' music is all over the place. They don't have one sound that people immediately associate with them like you do with Nirvana. Plus, it's much easier to relate to Kurt Cobain as a person and his pain that comes through in Nirvana's lyrics than Billly Corgan who comes off as basically an egotistical jerk. |

The Smashing Pumpkins for me. I have always thought Nirvana were very over rated musically, but hey that's just me.

I don't think I can choose between them. Nirvana were certainly more consistent, and due to Kurt Cobain's death they never had a chance to release a bad album. Smashing Pumpkins have released a fair amount of rubbish, especially since the reunion, but musically they were always a lot more interesting, ambitious and original than Nirvana. 'Siamese Dream' and 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' are both great albums, but so are 'Nevermind' and 'In Utero'.

Smashing Pumpkins so much better, all Nirvana did was open the floodgates for Seattle music to be heard and i think there music is so overated, much better bands like Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam emerged.

Always believed Nirvana and Kurt Cobains song writing was completely overrated and they were in the right place at the right time. And Kurt wasn't even the most talented member of Nirvana.
Billy Corgan songs writing and creative musical skills were on a whole other level from Kurts. |

Nirvana had a consistent bank of good songs whereas Smashing Pumpkins aren't/weren't as consistent however some of their best songs I prefer over Nirvana's best songs.
