Well, I'm tempted to go with "They both suck," but if I were to do that, it would be a waste of my superior intellect and debate skills.
So let's break it down more.
Popularity:
Metallica can sue their fans, and still sell millions of records.
Nirvana...Well, if Courtney Love can't kill their popularity...
Conclusion: Tie.
Philosophy:
Nirvana--It's better to burn out than to fade away.
Metallica--If we sue people, we can retire without selling another record!
Conculsion: Nirvana. Cobain was the tiebreaker, by not only living his philosophy, but then removing himself from the gene pool.
Image:
Metallica look like dirty drug addicted roleplaying gamers.
Nirvana made lesbian "fashion" popular.
Conclusion: Go Metallica! Nerd Chichue>Dyke Flannel.
Followers:
Metallica drove nerdy kids to kill.
Nirvana drove potentially emo kids to suicide.
Conclusion: Metallica.
Music:
Nirvana can all play instruments.
Metallica...Ummm...Lars Ulrich.
Conclusion: Nirvana.
Overall conclusion: Nirvana, shitty as they were, could play live without sounding like a mentally retarded kid was trying to be Roger Taylor. They may have created a fashion faux pas by letting lesbians pick out their wardrobe, but they left a lasting impression (mostly buckshot in the wall) and a drummer worth his salt.
