Other bands, not to mention spawning the creation of an entire sub genre of music ("alternative" also "grunge") so maybe Pixies. But all my favorite bands also reference R.E.M. as being very influential. So, no idea.

Not trying to be dumb, but I legitimately think all those groups suck.

Nirvana single-handedly wiped out an entire genre of music

I actually like both but Nirvana wiped it out

the hair bands were a lot more fun...

Hair bands were like eating marshmallows. Grunge was like a fine filet mignon.

Nirvana influenced all those crappy grunge bands. A genre that went bust.

As funny as that is, you could make a strong case for Chuck Berry.
