It was Gavin Rossdale's vision. His inspiration. His heart and soul.

You don't have to explain that to me. I never said I don't know what rip-off means. Also, I clearly stated that the guitars and vocals sound nothing alike. Bush heavy guitar riffs might be close, but the higher pitched, more subtle, transitional riffs are nothing like Nirvana, and can't really be compared to anything. If Gavin's sole purpose in life was to imitate Nirvana, then I doubt he would write Comedown. Let's look at the lyrics:
I don't want to come back down from this cloud,
it's taken me all this time to find out what I need,
Hardly sounds like Cobain.

If you don't like it, then don't listen to it. I, personally like the albums from start to finish, and albums that you can put in, and don't have to skip one track on are nice, and extremely rare.
