I'd rather listen to a good piece of music (I'm not specifying style) than a piece that requires a lot of speed and technique but really doesn't have much content in terms of melody. It's the equivalent of speaking very fast because you don't really have anything meaningful to say.

Right on! If anything, i would call cobain a poet speaking for the masses who were sick of hearing garbage music from the awful eighties.

People will flame me for what they'll inevitably consider elevating cobain above what he actually was, but the truth remains, his impact is still felt to this day, almost a decade later, and will most assuredly continue on into the future. do you really think 'nsync or bsb or aguilera will have the same impact?

Whether you appreciate his music or not (or, for that matter, anyone else's music) should not dictate whether they were or are a "good" musician or make "good" music. Like the critic who told mozart his music would never fly, because he used "too many notes".
