A Tribute to Kurt Cobain

 Had he been alive, today would have been Kurt Cobain's 44th birthday. For all the noobs, Cobain was an American singer-songwriter, musician and artist, best known as the lead singer and guitarist of the grunge band Nirvana. He has composed some of the most enduring albums of our time including Nevermind and In Utero. Cobain is remembered as one of the most iconic rock musicians in the history of alternative music. He was voted 7th in MTV's "22 Greatest Voices of All Time". In 2006, he was placed at number twenty by Hit Parader on their list of the "100 Greatest Metal Singers of All Time". A great icon for millions, his life was cut short due to his addiction to drugs. At the age of 27, Cobain committed suicide after a drug overdose. He is a member of the famous Club 27 which also includes Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Brian Jones.
Cobain's music really made an impact on me when i started listening to Nirvana about 6 years ago. His tunes were melodious and soulful. His lyrics (although controversial) really struck a chord with the masses. And his trashing of the set after a concert became iconic in itself as a sign of protest against "The Man".


Kurt Cobain, wherever you are, i hope you have found your "Nirvana". Rest in peace...
