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.
