No way, no chance. Alice, Soundgarden, or Pearl Jam didn't have an album that changed youth the way Nirvana's Nevermind did.

Nirvana was already huge when Kurt died. They were always gonna be big. Sure, his death propelled them to a different level, but there's a damn good chance they would have got there on their own.

You can agree with or not, that up in the air, but I just can't believe that someone would think that Alice, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam were better than Nirvana. Nirvana was easily the most influential group of the 90's EASILY.
