Kurt Cobain is by no means a bad lyricist but he has to be the most overrated bastard ever. They read like unedited streams of consciousness, not that there's anything wrong with them but they just aren't that wonderful. I hate to compare them because there's next to no common ground other than lyrically but Stephen Malkmus has the same kinda lyrical style and his work seems more substantial and is overall more appealing to me anyway.
