Let's see...
He was a worthless drug addict.
He wasn't all that great at guitar.
I've seen several definitions reffering to him as "the greatest musician ever" or "the greatest song writer ever"..
let's look at the facts shall we?
Many other bands have started Genre's.
are they hailed as the greatest bands ever? no.
Iron Maiden was one of the most influential bands in thrash
metal, and they defined the sound of a genre. are they hailed as Gods? no.
Pink Floyd was argueably one of the most influential bands of our time. For
god's sake, even KorN covered them. but are they hailed as
God's again? no
the greatest songwriter of all time eh?
Are we to throw away Bob
Dylan or Johnny cash for some heroin addict?
and his meager guitar playing skills?
Smells like teen spirit chorus is 4 power chords, 'nuff said.
