That's true, but my opinion is that there were a lot of other bands at the time who were much better than Nirvana.
Smashing Pumpkin's Siamese Dream
Soundgarden's Superunknown
Rage Against The Machine's ST album
Pearl Jam's Ten, VS, and Vitalogy
Tool's Undertow
Radiohead's Pablo Honey and (even though it was out after Kurt's Death) The Bends..............
The list goes on and on. Kurt became a martyr because he died. Their best days were behind them, again, in my opinion. Bleach was their best album, followed by (I guess) Nevermind. But In Utero was garbage. Muddy Banks was garbage. Incesticide was nothing more than b-sides and rare tracks.
So, right place at the right time, I guess. I don't feel like he ever did much worth really remembering.
I still, on a monthly basis, will listen to Soundgarden, Rage, and especially Pearl Jam. I would put any or all three of their frontmen ahead of Cobain as the "voice of the generation"
