I don't know that if Kurt hadn't died he would be as large in our minds though. He was a fairly boring guy if you think about it. Kinda a post-emo pussy in a way (the original emo).

Pearl Jam and The Stone Temple Pilots were much more interesting. Even the Foo Fighters bring more to the game than they did.

But, Nirvana hit at the perfect time. MTV was at it's cultural peak as far as being a music network goes. Grunge, the trend, was at it's peak. Nevermind was about as classic as classic gets.

But, on the other hand when we say Rock Star we think Bono, Mick, Steven, Jimi... if you really think about it does Kurt belong in that crowd with one classic album and an overdose?

Truthfully, probably not. Death works wonders for fame.
