Nirvana holds a special place in a lot of people, and I'm included in that.

It's an interesting poll, because these bands really are quite comparable, similar sounds, etc.
Definitely recommend Doolittle... I'm not a huge fan of the album as a whole but songs like Monkey Gone to Heaven, Wave of Mutilation and Here Comes Your Man are better than anything Nirvana ever wrote and certainly more influential.
