Don't get me wrong, Nirvana is one of my favorite bands, and I do think that they were very talented musicians, but over time I've come to the opinion that they really are a bit overrated.

i think the fact they were given the accolade for inventing grunge is false considering the pixies and mudhoney were around before them. they certainly made grunge more commercial and known but as for inventing it- no. also, they made one awesome song and one awesome album yet apart from that, i cant see why their regularly seen as one of the greatest bands ever. the stone roses made an album of similiar brilliance yet nobody puts them in the bracket of best bands. if cobain was still alive today they would be nowhere near the status they are now. that said i agree with jibber in saying he had a great, creative mind and all 3 of them were very competent musicians.
