No, I don't agree. I agree that it prompted a change from rock to alternative... however, the guy couldn't sing, the songs really weren't all that "great", and really didn't have much statement to it.
Now, Cobain himself... he could draw emotion out of his audience. His moody, dark, tragic persona/life was the source of a huge following that could fabricate emotion out of his lyrics despite not being able to understand them. It wasn't the music they were feeling, it was him.
But because they only saw him while he was playing this mediocre music, it was the music they remembered... and they thought that music was "great."
Does that make the music worthy of a top spot? Well, yes and no. I guess it's a matter of your perception of what makes a song one of the best in history.
