A buddy of mine once said Cobain "revolutionized" music and started the grunge movement.
I always thought he sucked.

no.
first of all its grunge, not grudge...anyway the seattle sound had many bands that broke out around the same time. many of the bands that never got the popularity were heavy influences to the ones that did...including: pearl jam, nirvana, soundgarden, alice in chains, mother love bone, stone temple pilots.
i feel chris cornell from soundgarden was extremely more talented in songwriting and conveying his thoughts to music. curt cobain could only produce what he did in nirvana. chris cornell can make music in any genre and still have it sound uniquely his.

No. Pearl Jam is far greater than Nirvana.
Kurt was good but he wasn't this great icon of our times. It is a tragedy of how he died though. He may have reached great status if he was still alive.
Dave Grohl is amazing though. To step out of the shadow of Kurt's death and have a great band, is no easy feat.

He related to a lot of teen agers in angst. That's not legendary. Look at all of the dark heavy metal. Black Sabbath actually started that. Kurt just never grew out of his angst, and for an adult man to have so much angst is unnatural-thus it created a self destruction in him.

Yeah i agree with your friend, he and Pearl Jam were pioneers of grunge. Revolutionised is too strong a word though, he wasnt the friggin Beatles.

He was not the only one around when 'grunge' started. I don't think he was that good, I never cared much for Nirvana. But its all a matter of opinion.

I agree with your friend...he also made an example out of himself..by showing the world just how unhappy he was with his life....They are coming out with an action figure from the 1995 mtv unplugged performance...it will have him sitting on a chair with a microphone, this action figure will be out by this christmas, they will be out for a limited edition.....

no he was as good as they say, i think that you have to listen to the music, with out thinking about what you like, think about the sound and how it makes you feel,
