That is rare, it's beautiful and soft, but when he screams it's like shoving screws into a pencil sharpener, but it's still beautiful.

Kurt's been important to modern music yes, but he took all of his ideas from other bands and put them together. Quote Kurt: 'I wanted to make a band that was like The Beatles and Black Sabbath put together'. He's been important, but he didn't invent anything new. He was following a grunge trend at the time born in his home state.

Influential, yes.
As important as Beethoven, not really.
Bach has been even more important to modern music. (inventor of the 1-3-4, 1-3-5 way of writing.)
