    Hey, I wouldn't undercut Cobain/Nirvana influence..they certainly changed everything.

    I remember being the metalhead I was, being in my standard rock club on a Friday night the first time the DJ played "Smells like..." I mean the whole 80's metal thing just died right there, immediately, and everybody knew it. I mean, it was like as soon as the song was over we all stopped and stared at each other in the Metallica and Bon Jovi shirts and said, well, this is over. It was palpable. I mean the club died within a few months, even though it had been around for years before that. Turned into a titty bar..

    But I still don't see the comparisons of Cobain to Lennon...he just doesn't have the depth of material..maybe if he lived and evolved..but hey..that's life..

    • 100% completely agree with ya blue.
      had a very similar experience with that song 1st time i heard it.
