It had more of an effect on him sure. But that's just like how The Fall had more of an impact on you than more well known bands, that doesn't make them a more important band overall.
ELP has had more of an impact on me than The Stones ever did, and you may find that laughable and I don't think we have to argue which band means more to people worldwide.
And I think that's the overall thing, Jackson has crossover and worldwide appeal that is only matched by Elvis and The Beatles. I think Jackson's popularity will stay just as strong as Elvis's has over the years.
Cobain however, will just remain popular with certain subcultures because he was part of much more niche genre of music,.
