It's a bit like saying AC/DC should be compared to Noel Coward because Bon Scott did a posh accent on one song.

It's mainly because Cobain cited Pixies as a band that he ripped off stylistically. He was, of course, too high to use the Spanish language or play surf rock but he ran with the early-90s loud-quiet-loud thing, courtesy of Pixies. His statements RE this are pretty well documented, I think. And most popular songs by both bands use that device.
