i'm not saying that they were the most talented artsist, nor do I claim that cobain wasn't a drug addict, otherwise I'd be an idiot. I accept that everyone has different tastes in music, and personally I love nirvana's lyrics, and I do think they were talented musically, but by no means were they close to the best. They were incredibly influencial, but unlike others who have stated their opinions here, I believe that their influence had a positive effect on music. Back to the "inpsiring a generation of druggies" (or something to that effect) line, how can you possibly pin drug use on the influence of one rock band? Would you accuse hendrix of the same? how about the beatles? because heavy drug use in the public's eye sure as hell didn't start with nirvana.
