Cobain was a self taught singer, i ain't just saying this because i like cobains music, but he wasn't a shit singer by any means. If he was that bad, would his music still be going strong now?

Oh man, not this stupid Cobain arguement again.
What if Nirvanna had never made it pasy local band status? If you had caught Nirvanna for $10 at some local club with four other bands, you would have thought they were the worst band in the world. "Who the hell is this off-key, atonal hack of a singer with the stupid, rambling lyrics?" People keep deifying this guy because he sold a lot of records and then gave head to a 12-gauge.
"Achey Breaky Heart" was the number one record in the country in 1992. It kept Megadeth's "Countdown to Extinction" out of the top slot. It was huge crossover hit that pounded the air waves. Shania Twain, Garth Brooks and Faith Hill soon followed, but Billy Ray Cyrus paved that path, just like Cobain paved the path for grunge.
You just never know what is going to take off. Don't mistake success for talent. Kirk was just another rambling junkie with a guitar and a few chords. If you want to think he is a unique talent, then you better be ready to recognize the unique talent of Billy Ray.
