Was he the best songwriter of the 90s?

Nah. Will Oldham or Bill Callahan.

That's not Greg Dulli, Stephin Merritt or Biggie

He's good though

Neithe Dulli or Biggie even wrote music. Plz. They're lyricists, not songwriters.

deserves the praise he receives. his work is good

No, Cobain was.
Elliot Smith is alright though, but he wasn't great.

Dulli definitely wrote music and a lyricist is a songwriter

Take your shitty bait back to r/Nirvana

That's not what songwriter means. That would be a lyricist.

Damn right, the dude had so many tracks that weren't even released, and a good ton of them are better than most others well known songs

Still wish he was able to complete From a Basement on a Hill as a double album like he wanted.

I would have loved to see how the final product would have been different, than the one finished by his friends

I'd like to believe the theory that this was supposed to be a cleaned up studio version of "My New Freedom"
