Green Day was another band that "crossed over" and I don't hear many bands cite them as influential. Whether or not you own their CD's is not important, it's the fact you'll find numerous bands of today cite them as an influence long befor e Nirvana.
Nirvana, without MTV, would've been nothing. People wouldn't have seen this look they had that was new compared to all the hair bands and such of the 80's and early 90's. They were an MTV band if I've ever seen one and that explains there meteoric rise. Some marketing exec somewhere did a hell of a job.
