Hey, I really like Nirvana and think they've made some great music, but come on, Cobain is SERIOUSLY overrated because he blew his brains out. The Pearl Jam comparisons are very apt. Pearl Jam and Nirvana were neck and neck for the grunge crown back in the early 90s. Cobain and Nirvana got elevated to God-like status because of the suicide. If Vedder had killed himself, people would talk about the genius of Pearl Jam today, while Nirvana would have likely followed the same career path that Pearl Jam followed. Nirvana arrived at the right time and Cobain killed himself at the right time to achieve immortality.

But yeah, totally overrated. Cobain ain't John Lennon, no matter how much people want to place him on a similar pedestal.
