They obviously don't appeal to everyone, but to ignore their contributions is crazy.

I think I agree on all counts. The truth is somewhere in between Kodos and Hell Atlantic's take on the situation. They really weren't all they were cracked up to be, but to say Cobain is a talentless hack is pretty silly.
