First let me say i love Nirvana <3
but they were just in the right place at the right time..
Nirvana's sound isn't really groundbreakin as it was perceived at the time.. they are basically a really good garage band, in utero was way better than Nevermind but most of Nirvana fans got into Nirvana cause of Smell like teen spirit.. and honestly In utero which i think is their best work musically it's not really groundbreakin either..
The "legendary" status of Nirvana is simply Kurt Cobain and his charisma..
Fans love Nirvana not because they were genius musician, but because they relate to Nirvana in some personal way.. especially with Kurt's public persona
if you measure Nirvana as musicians, yea.. they weren't a big deal
but if you wanna talk about Influence, yea, they were a big deal.
but even if they weren't the "Best" Musicians, they were true musicians that's why Kurt said they are not the best musicians and that there are better bands out there..
like saying to the fans to explore other music
