Few artists resonate so strongly with KEXP listeners and all Seattle music fans as Kurt Cobain. His band, Nirvana, wasn't the first to break out of the Northwest nor did their groundbreaking breakthrough, Nevermind, sell the most among their contemporaries, but Cobain probably represented more of the local attitude of the early 90's than anyone else.

Though today, 19 years after Kurt Cobain's death, marks a terrible loss for us all, his music will remain his legacy:
