Kurt and co. merely made a movement mainstream, much like the strokes did with the garage rock scene, and i guarantee if casablancas popped his cloggs everybody would be ho-ha'ing over the greatness of a band, like nirvana, who made one very good album and 2 average at best.

The first paragraph has partial truth to it, everything else is pure bullsh*t,
Nevermind and
In Utero were BOTH very good albums, as was the unplugged album.
Nirvana were already pretty much the most popular band in the world when Cobain died, with Pearl Jam still very popular today, so I'm sure Nirvana would be as well, even if not as much as they were before Cobain died.

No sh*t, whats your goddamn point?... That having influences is bad?
And Raine, The Foo Fighters barely even had an impact, you can argue for quality, but as far as I'm concerned in overall greatness,
Nevermind is a top 50 album.
But
Colour and the Shape is probably in the top 1000 I'm sure.
