| I went with Cobain as well. If anything I would recognize him more for singing and writing than guitar playing. Peace. |

Good point. But on that list, he is clearly overrated.

Because

That is also why I voted him. He may have been a talented songwriter and singer, but as a guitarist he was purely mediocre IMO. |

| Kurt then Adam Jones. Kurt could write music but as a guitar player he was average at best. Even in the grunge scene, every other band had a better guitarist |

| None of them are overrated. Their all great guitarists in their own right.
Kurt had that knack of writing a catchy guitar line or riff that hooked you and millions of others.
......Something a majority of guitarists can't claim to have done. |
