Ya know, with some of the music writers out there, I would not be surprised.
The one thing that REALLY pisses me off about grunge is that it's defining song, 'Smells like teen spirit', was written by Kurt to sound like a Pixies song.
EDIT: Before someone tries to say I made that up:
"I was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it. When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily that I should have been in that band — or at least a Pixies cover band. We used their sense of dynamics, being soft and quiet and then loud and hard." - Kurt Cobain
