 Kurt Cobain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cobain was eventually able to convince record companies to reissue albums by The Raincoats (Geffen) and The Vaselines (Sub Pop).
Cobain condemned the episode in the liner notes of the US release of the album Incesticide: "Last year, a girl was raped by two wastes of sperm and eggs while they sang the lyrics to our song 'Polly.' I have a hard time carrying on knowing there are plankton like that in our audience.
One of Cobain's earliest and most important musical influences was none other than The Beatles; Cobain expressed a particular fondness for John Lennon, whom he called his "idol" in his journals, and even admitted that the song "About a Girl" was essentially his attempt at writing a Beatles song.

 The Cobain Memorial: Breif Biography
Kurt Donald Cobain was the leader of Nirvana, the multi-platinum grunge band that redefined the sound of the nineties.
When Cobain was eleven he heard and was captivated by Britain's Sex Pistols and after their self-destruction Cobain and friend Krist Novoselic continued to listen to the wave of British bands including Joy Division the nihilistic post-punk band that some say Nirvana are directly descended from in form of mood, melody and lyrical quality.
Cobain was shocked at the reception of his highly personal and passionate music repeatedly telling reporters that none of the band ever, ever expected anything like this.

 BBC NEWS Entertainment Torment of rock hero Cobain
Kurt Cobain was a modestly gifted chap whose rise to the forefront of the so-called alternative music scene was less a product of his own originality or vision and more to do with the dreadful state that rock music was in back in the late 80s/early 90s.
Kurt Cobain, was in his own right, the voice of teenage angst, and the hurt teenagers go through, he put those emotions into meaningful, deep songs.
Cobain's suicide was a devastating time for those of us who followed the Seattle sound, I was 19 in 1994, and just starting to realise my own music tastes.

 Kurt Cobain - Nirvana
Kurt was always a champion for underground and alternative music, and he was pained by fans of the band that believed in nothing that Nirvana stood for or what it came from.
An amazingly talented songwriter, Kurt delivered his music with a voice that was both tortured and angelic in equal measures.
Nirvana's 1991 mainstream debut album - Nevermind - transformed the music scene with a total and unapologetic departure from the superficial, glam-rock, hair-band mode that had been predominant since the 80's.

 Kurt Cobain
Cobain and Novoselic worked through a variety of band names and personnel between '85 and '86 (initially with Cobain acting as drummer) before settling on a trio formation with drummer Chad Channing at the end of 1986; by 1987 they were calling this new line-up Nirvana.
A sympathetic accomplice was eventually found in the person of Krist Novoselic, who shared his enthusiasm for punk and provided a receptive ear to his friend's musical ideas.
The album was given an enthusiastic reception regardless, reaching #1 on the mainstream charts immediately upon its release, but was still considered a "disappointment" by the label because it didn't match the absurd success of Nevermind (despite the release of specially-packaged version tailored to suit the conservative tastes of Wal-Mart and K-Mart executives).

 Kurt Cobain and Neil Young
Cobain's use of the lyrics had a profound impact on Young, who recorded portions of the 1994 'Sleeps With Angels' album in Cobain's memory.
Always an advocate of allowing the listener his or her own individual path through a record, he was so devastated by Cobain's personal reaction to a song that was basically written as a celebration of Punk that he was impelled to record the 'Sleeps With Angels' album in lament."
In Kurt Cobain's suicide note he quoted Neil Young's song "My My, Hey Hey" lyrics "It's Better to burn out, than to fade away."

The sudden and unexpected success of Nirvana, with their Nevermind album selling in excess of ten million copies world-wide, gave Kurt Cobain the place as one of the spokesmen for a generation.
There will surely be much speculation as to what finally caused him to crack, but one thing can be said for certain - this was no "rock and roll martyrdom", but rather the tragic waste of a creative life.
Their music opened the way for countless other "underground" bands, but brought the inevitable barrage of media attention, picking his life apart, carving him open and laying his innards out for all to see.
