I think that his songwriting has a much broader appeal than the pretentious dogma of Kurt or the insensical ramblings of Eddie Vedder. He didn't exist to sell a movement or anything else, he really just opened up and sang about how plain life in general was. I'm not suggesting that the band itself was that great; the guitarist always seems to find an unoriginal way to write stuff. As a collective group, they are as far from influential to me as the Spice Girls.
