Sure, it's another list of greatness (?). But, PJ made the top 10 with Jeremy. There are a lot of other songs on the list that take me back to the good ol' days when I didn't have a mortgage and bills.
Ask any professional musician out there and they will flat say 'yea duh, of course Nirvana was the best band of the 90's'. This list includes Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Eddie Vedder, even Puff Daddy. I don't have time to find all the quotes for you but they have all been on record saying Kurt was the man and Nirvana are indeed the best of the 90's. For the record I happen to think Nirvana and PJ are 2 of the best 4 bands ever along with Zeppelin and the Beatles.
Shouldn't have to remind anyone that opinions are like assholes and I think you listed the biggest ones you could find. Whether you play music or not it's still just an opinion. IMHO Nirvana is one of the most over rated bands ever if the douche bag hadn't killed himself we'd be talking about how quickly they became irrelevant.

I agree....they have some catchy ass tunes but god damn do they get old quick. I can still listen to my copy of Dirt and Jar of Flies every day and never get sick of it. Kurt's music had the pop aspect but that also means it gets repetitive, which it is. Plus their unplugged was overrated too, they did a few covers. Unlike the AiC and PJ Unplugged, they turned some of their hardest and heaviest songs into beautiful acoustic versions.

Plus I stand by Jerry Cantrell when he says:
"...but Kurt Cobain was such a shitty guitarist"
No doubt PJ is just flat amazing and the unplugged proves it.
As for Kurt being a bad guitarist I'd say on a technical aspect he lacked some ability. But he made up for it with brilliant lyrics, melodies, songs and vocals. The counter melody in 'Come as you are' alone puts him in elite songwriting company, as do the lyrics for 'Heart shaped box'.
I would have definitely added Filter-Hey Man, Nice Shot. Not only was it played all the time back in the day, but even now, everytime you see a trailer in the theatre for a war movie or something involving Jerry Bruckeimer they use this song. I would have also included Blind Melon - No Rain, Rage - Bulls on Parade and a Foo Fighters song(I'd go with Everlong).
