Hendrix has influenced far more people(due to time mabey) and took the guitar to a new level...

Have you ever listened closely to the sounds that Cobain pulled out of his guitar, and then sized it up to other people. Sure hes not super fast or whatever but none the less amazing. I'm 24 right now and the first rock CD I ever got was smells like teen spirit when i was twelve years old. Since then I've quit listening to Nirvana and expanded my musical tastes greatly. I heard come as you are on the radio the other day for the first time in years. I was amazed by the way he was making the guitar sound. It reminded my of the first time I actually took a good listened to Hendrix when I was about 16. I think that his playing style (not musical style) has never been replicated because no one else can do it.
