    Really, who even cares about anything Cobaine wrote or sang? Honestly, he was absolutely so insignificant. Hardly worth a mention in the top 10,000 lines.

    fuck you, kurt was a better lyricist then you'll hope to be. do you have a cd that sold in the millions, and got you millions? fuck no, you still middle class, so fuck off unless you can top it.

    I must say that to say Cobain was insignificant is like saying that John Lennon or Don Henley of the Eagles don't matter to music. Nirvana didn't invent Grunge but without them Grunge never gets out of the Seattle area on any grand stage. He changed the path of music from the Glam rock of Poison to the grittier side of Pearl Jam Alice in Chains and even Soundgarden even though they weren't Grunge.
