He was a talented yet troubled grunge performer. Kurt Cobain became a rock legend in the 1990s with his band. He committed suicide at his... read more Kurt, you're missed, man :( I don't care about those who say that Nirvana is overrated. You know what? Isn't Metallica overrated too? They really have only 2-3 good songs and people think they're the best metal band that has ever existed. On the other hand, Nirvana was one of the most unique and dynamic things to ever happen in the history of music. Kurt Cobain revolutioned the rock scene, and you know why? Even though Nirvana's instrumentals are simple, not overly complicated or complex, he succeeded to change the world and be the spokesman of an entire generation through the emotion he put in his music, despite the simple composition. He gave us a clear insight into the most primal and honest emotions a human goes through during life: anger, sadness, intensity, melancholy, depression, etc. And he expressed them in such a raw, sincere manner, you could hear it in his voice. He is also one of the best male voices in rock history because his voice was simply unique: sometimes mellow and touching and sweet, other times raspy and angry and irritated, he knew exactly how to touch the deepest sides of our souls...

He was 50 year old, but I don't care, because the doctor is at his fault.

Though, I still believe that Tupac is alive and well, and had moved to Serbia. Making fast rap for the Serbian people and removing kebabs.
He deserves to be higher than Michael because Miley died at 50 which is the year where you start getting a little older. Pac died at only 25 which is half his age. Damn.

I still miss her and her voice terribly.

Popular music today would have been dramatically different had he lived and continued. I was torn between voting for Jim, Jimi, or Janis. All were members of the "27 club" and their deaths collectively signaled the end of an era in music. I chose Jimi because I feel that a guitarist influences the direction his music takes moreso than a vocalist does.
