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.
I disagree. Pearl Jam's 10 was huge when released (and remains that way). Badmotorfinger may have been my favourite album of that whole era. Dirt and Facelift are up there as well.

Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Nirvana as well, I just think a lot of their hype was image driven, the music of the others held up better for me over time.
