I want Nirvana to be rated highly because all the band members are acknowledged for their contribution, not just Kurt. GnR has Slash and Axl, not all the band I know, but more than just one guy. RATM has Tom Morello and Zach.

A band should be big for being a great alround band, not a frontman who literally was "everything" Nirvana stood for. Thats not Nirvana, just kurt with bodyguards.
