B-but if it wasn't for Nirvana we wouldn't have the Foo Fighters...
It's kind of hard to explain why they were so good. It's a bit like the Sex pistols, who are considered one of, if not the greatest, punk band of all time. There have been better punk bands. There have been punk bands who have achieved more. But the Sex Pistols just had that novel edge that made them become part of the culture a little better than the others.
Nirvana are kind of the same. They weren't the best grunge band around, but the had the novel edge that etched them into the culture of the 90's a little better than the rest of the grunge bands.
The quality's kind of hard to describe.
