Therefore, all the people who got inspired by Cobain were indirectly inspired by Hendrix

[font=trebuchet ms]That's not the point. The question is "Who was more revolutionary?". And it's a good question.

Hendrix changed the way musicians approached the guitar. He opened our eyes and ears to a whole new world of possibilities, by taking the guitar to new levels. He added new colours to the guitar player's palette.

Cobain changed the way musicians approached the guitar. He opened our eyes and ears to a whole new world of possibilities, by redefining guitar's place in music. He inspired a generation of bands to imitate him.

I may despise the whole grunge scene, and the damage it did to the music business, but I have to acknowledge that he had a revolutionary effect. Quite possibly a more widespread and lasting one than Hendrix's.[/font] :(
