I will amend my statement a bit. Cobain wil be remember for being Cobain, the entertainer and person, but not much for his actual music.
I don’t agree. Nevermind and In Utero aren’t disappearing from top 100 lists, those records are instrumental in defining the decade. I was in high school when Nevermind came out, there wasn’t a soul I knew who didn’t know Nevermind. One member of his band (Grohl) has gone on to fabulous success and critical acclaim since Cobain’s death. I wasn’t even a big fan of the band at the time! But they’re hugely important.
