I'd like to say this as I was thinking about it today.

I'll admit, I had heard of Nirvana before I heard of the Melvins. When I heard the Melvins, though, I was more impressed. If Nirvana was still around, I think they would have released their equivalent of the Melvins' "Honky" or "Stag" in an attempt to alienate the poser fanbase.

I'd also say that I like the Swans more than the Pixies, but that's just me.

I won't deny that Cobain changed mainstream rock. They are overrated, IMO. at the same time, I find Pearl Jam boring, but again that's just me.

Side note, the Fallout Boy and Panic! at the Disco Fans probably never heard the only GOOD band in that genre: At the Drive-In. First time I heard them, which was I think late 2000, I wondered to myself if that was what it was like to hear Nirvana for the first time.
