It was such a burden choosing one of them because I like Dave's drum beats, but I also love Krist's bass lines. Kurt's sloppy guitar and raspy voice are so amazing!
I honestly prefer Dave's attitude, but I can't choose between the two! They both have iconic voices and are both good (Dave slightly better) at guitar.

Dave Grohl
David Eric "Dave" Grohl is an American rock musician, multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer, and film director. He was the drummer for the influential 1990s grunge band Nirvana and is the founding vocalist and guitarist of the alternative rock band Foo Fighters. He has also performed as... read more
Kurt Cobain was a slightly better songwriter and more iconic, but Grohl's guitar playing was better than Cobain's. His voice is just as good, if not better, and he is extremely talented across many different instruments. Neither Kurt Cobain nor Krist Novoselic could have written and performed an entire album on their own.
No offense to Cobain, but Grohl is superior in every way - lyricism, vocals, drums, guitar. I could go on.
He's better at guitar, drums, and singing.

Krist Novoselic
Krist Novoselic was Nirvana's bassist for the entirety of the band's existence until it disbanded in 1994. Since then, he has become a political activist and has supported electoral reform. Novoselic has also been involved in various musical projects, including Sweet 75, Eyes Adrift, and Giants in the... read more
Krist is just an awesome bass guitarist. I totally love the bass lines in "Stay Away," "Lounge Act," "Sliver," and more. He is funny, very intelligent, and a sweet man too. I love all of them, but Krist is my choice for this time.
To be honest, Krist has always been my favorite. Dave is the most talented, and Kurt is the most intelligent, but Krist made a movement for people to stop standing on escalators.
With Kurt Cobain as the frontman, Krist and Dave were underrated. He is great with the bass and created many memorable bass lines, like in "Love Buzz," "Come as You Are," "Lithium," "Breed," and "Sliver."
