Man when I say influence I don't just mean "Gee that band sounds like Nirvana".
Nirvana changed the music industry. It open up the mainstream to all alternative bands "grunge" or not. It made record companies realise that the old formula for detemining the likely hood of success of a band had changed. It made kids think that they didn't have to be a guitar shredding guru to play in a successful rock band. It showed kids that guys in bands didn't have to be mucho, sleezy, ****heads.
