Whats it have to do with anyone actively seeking to play like kurt cobain? So if theres more people out there trying to play like steve vai, that automatically makes him more revolutionary than hendrix? guitar=guitar...music doesnot= guitar. the way I interpreted the question was not about who was the more infulential GUITARIST, but who was more revolutionary overall (for their respective time, obviously).
But to answer the question, im gonna say Hendrix, because he really defined putting your heart and soul into making and playing music. Even though Nirvana was my first musical love and got me into music permanently
