what's interesting to me is your feeling that you have to like nirvana and think you have a problem for not liking.
while i like nirvana, i always thought they were ok, i remember watching the video for "come as you are" when i was like 9 and thinking it was a neat song, nothing more nothing less. i still remember when kurt died but it was like "ah, pity".
i like some of their songs ("drain you", "about a girl", "territorial pissings", etc.), i don't think they were that awesome.
they are historically important to the mainstream and underground scenes and probably the last time a single band launched a whole genre to the mainstream, represented it and also filled the archetype of the troubled rocker/disfunctional band/destructive couple in one.
i don't hate nirvana the band or even kurt cobain as much as their fans, the media and certain songs ("smells like teen spirit" and "rape me" chief among them).
not the worse band but not the best band either.
