When it comes to grunge or even just Seattle, I think there was one band that made the definitive music of the time. It wasn't us or Nirvana, but Mudhoney. Nirvana delivered it to the world, but Mudhoney were the band of that time and sound.
The idea of starting a band because of Nirvana and thereby trying to sound like Nirvana is totally not the case.

Dave Grohl is my favourite musician ever because I was a massive fan of Nirvana. I really admire him because he can play so many different instruments.
That's kind of a nostalgia thing. Nirvana was my first favorite band, in third or fourth grade. Then I got out of them. But one day in college a few buddies and myself all started listening to them again and it blew me away. They still stand out as my favorite band ever.
