Kurt Cobain - (Greatest Songwriters)

by Caleb
(Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.)

Kurt Cobain deserves to be on this list no doubt. He is one of the greatest songwriters of all-time ranking only behind Bob Dylan and John Lennon in my opinion. His songwriting was absolutely brilliant. There were people who didn't like Cobain because they though his lyrics didn't make any sense or were completely senseless, like "Rape Me" which many found offensive because they didn't get the true meaning of the song. He used a lot of metaphors and sarcasm in all of his songs which many musicians did but not to the extent Cobain did or even close to as well as he did. He often showed anger in his songwriting but also could show mellowness in it.

Well Said

Kurt was one of those....."read between the lines" kind of songwriters. It was more often not necessarily what he said, but how he said it. He was brilliant at being able to convey a mood purely through his cadence and vocalization. Truly gifted, and obviously troubled. Aren't we all.

Kurt is my Idol
by: Austin

Kurt was not the greatest guitar player but his riffs rocked! He didn't finish high school, but he is still considered one of the greatest lyricists ever!He never went to college for music, but he made millions from it and his band went off to be known as one of the greatest rock bands and to completely change the musical landscape. Those changes still show in some of the more modern bands such as Breaking Benjamin and Seether.

Music is not about the knowledge or the brains its about the emotions, passion, and motivation. Knowing how to utilize what you know, is better than knowing everything and forgetting where you came from.

Austin from Florida
Kurt we miss you!
