Nirvana started a musical movement that lasted nearly two --- weeks. It's influence so transformed the rock world that the non-artform called rap not only filled the void but apparently destroyed rock and roll so completely that many people today -- never having been exposed to real musicians -- actually consider rap to be music.

If I was responsible giving rap a entry into the music world I'd blow my brains out too.

You have no knowledge of modern music, then?

Nirvana in no way cntributed to the rock-rap of the likes of Limp Bizkit or Kid Rock, neither of which I can stand.

Rather, they and the rest of the grunge movement influenced outstanding musicians such as Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, and now Audioslave.

Or the heart-stopping vocals of Amy Lee of Evanescence.

What about Scott Stapp of Creed, whose awesome lyrics have helped me return to my faith?

And POD, another great Rock band with a great message?

If you want to compare apples to apples, try the annoying Beastie Boys. They helped "white boys" become rappers.
