There were other bands already steering from the norm, what Nirvana
DID was open the public's eyes to it...
As far as my opinion on Nirvana, I originally hated them, then liked some of their stuff, then went back to hating them again.

Exactly. Music is a
blend of the exacting technicality of playing music, and the creativeness of inventing the music to be played. One cannot survive without the other.
You don't need an incredibly talented musician to be a good band. Taking Soulfly for example, I've merely messed around with the guitar off and on for 1-2 years (no lessons or anything, I'm incompetent, I admit) and I'm confident I could play
Lead Guitar for Soulfly. They maintain a unique (and sometimes very creative) sound for musicians in their Genre. That, and the fact that Max Cavalera is one of the most recognised names in Scream/Death metal, as Sepultura was one of the first bands in that genre...
