I Agree! Cobain was a ______ & yes the stones have never done that much in my opinion!! Boring!

Cobain. I hardly like anybody at all on that list except Zappa and John Lennon. Both, however, made their fair share of pointless music IMO.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Cobain. I f**king hate his guts

Everyone else on that list is respectable, except Bolan and Vaughan whom I don't know.

Elvis. Although he did create the whole rock and roll image and rise up against censorship, his music is not that great.

As for all the Nirvana and Cobain bashing:
I think Kurt Cobain is not overrated at all. He made music that certain people could relate to, while others just listened to it for the angry, heavy, grungy, rock out aspect of it, and could not relate to it. He just made a bad mistake of killing himself. I don't have a problem with that; he was in emotional pain and wanted to die, so why shouldn't someone be allowed to die that wants to?

I think you're all just saying Cobain because you don't like his music.

Oh, and by the way, I'm a Nirvana fan. And it isn't just teenage angt rock for punks.

The fact that nobody asks: "What Elvis do you mean?" proves the opposite.

Jimi Hendrix.

Although like other people here, I'm not a fan of Kurt Cobain either.

Every one of them is overrated.... but voted for Lennon to give Cobain a break
 
perhaps Joplin is the least overrated of these.. although basically she just screams
 
 EDIT: Oh.. sorry... forgot about Zappa... why is he here BTW?

Nirvana may have been overrated as a whole, but Kurt wrote some suprisingly tricky, intricate piano pieces to songs that stand alone better than the whole songWink
Bassists are deadly

I don't care enough for Cobain or Nirvana to vote for him, so from this list...Hendrix, a great PERFORMER but neither the best or a good songwritter IMO.
 
I believe Fripp should be in this list, he's not the God people talk about, not even a semi god.

I'll have to say Kurt Cobain. He was pretty cool, ya gotta admit, but he really didn't do enough to earn all the praise he has.
