While all of these are obviously strictly opinion (best ever etc. etc), I would, as my opinion has it, place Kurt Cobain at the top. I believe when people say he's overrated it's because they don't understand him and aren't on his level of intellect.. And yes, that will start a fire, but I believe you have to have intellect to understand intellect. Kurt was a fucking genius in every aspect of the word. Look at his journals. His writing, his speaking. It's the grammar, the continuity, the depth of his conversations that allows me to continue to say "wow". He wasn't a degraded junkie; rather an enlightened junkie. He was a smart, whole-hearted person on the inside, and he sang straight from the fucking soul. That's what I miss anymore, the passion. Kurt had it in his lyrics, music, and general life. Of course, my opinion.
