A lot of people say this guy was overrated

but show me a mid-20 year old who did more to change music since Cobain died.

Nirvana are right up there with the Smiths, NIN and Suede as my favourite band of all time. Going to light some candles and listen to a f***load of Nirvana records as the sun goes down tonight

Was never a fan of his when he was alive. But after I saw the documentary Kurt Cobain About a Son, I gained a whole new perspective. He was an intelligetnt, sensitive, and talented artist.
