Bold-ass Statements: Kurt who?

Look over your right shoulder, Kurt.  Don't blame me.

An old friend from back in High School made a comment that he had found yet another reason to like Foo Fighters over Nirvana.
Whoa!
Right there.  Did you hear it?  The sound of a needle scratching across a record as the room gets quiet and everyone gasps.
I heard it too.

Then another friend added later, "What, I'm supposed to like Nirvana more because that Kurt Cobain guy died?"
The problem for me is, despite the fact that I agree *wholeheartedly* I still found myself feeling like it was a kind of music sacrilege to even think it.  We are children of the 90's, me and my friend from High School.  That is, of course, we are children of the 80's who graduated H.S. in the early 90's!  I was there when all my music-loving drama class friends bawled their eyes out when Kurt died.  I can hear my 16 year old self rail, "Nothing will ever be as good as Nirvana! (mostly I was playing along to be cool) Nothing!  Ever!"
Musical martyrdom.  It's a big deal when you's a kid.
"Foo Fighters indeed!  How dare you, sir!"
But the question is, are we the only ones ...?
Anyone ...?
