Regardless of what your personal opinion of them are, I don't think you can discount the effect they had on music. I'm no huge Nirvana fan but their effect on the industry was monstrous.
They were the turn-key that caused new music and independent labels to explode. That "event" has forever changed the way music is produced.
The release of Nevermind basically killed overnight the existing pop music scene (thank God).

Pop Music is alive and well now.... and where is Grunge???

First off I'm guilty of responding without reading the entire thread...
Nirvana's Nevermind was voted #2 of VH1's Top 100 Albums of All Time. Great album? Sure. Overrated? I think so. Sorry, but there are a few songs that I can take or leave on the disk. Also, I blame it for the overabundance of grunge that followed - which then led to the death of pop music in general. Still ove the album, but I don't think of it as the second coming of Sgt. Pepper.
My favorite albums? Moving Pictures by Rush, Whatever and Ever Amen by Ben Folds Five, Glass Houses by Billy Joel, the first three They Might Be Giants records, Oranges and Lemons by XTC, and for some reason, Dare by The Human League. That's a ridulously short list - I have more.
