If the Melvins sounded just like them, then why didn't the Melvins become the biggest band in the world. They were alright musically, and lyrically I didn't think Cobain was really a genius, it was more the passion and feeling he put into his singing. Maybe it's the resonance that so many young kids got by hearing 1 of his torturous screams, that made them so appealing. Kurt Cobain's depression that led to his suicide is a sad story, and I wish it didn't end up that way. Bless his soul. However, while they were here, he did put every ounce of his soul into his music, no matter how ugly someone might accuse his soul of being, it is truth that bleeds thru your speakers when you hear Cobain sing.
