I personally hate comparing art because Art isn't sports. In competitive sports, there is usually a very clear winner. Team A score 8 points team b score 2 - team A won.
Why people feel the need to carry it over to the arts is odd to me. Van Goh beat up Renoir - huh? It's like the dopey singing and dancing competitions (or figure skating) where the artistic elements are subjective enough to cause fan outcry when the judges were clearly paid off.
The longer the species continues the more derivative everything becomes because there are only so many options a musician has to play with. A female singer with a lot of Vibrato can be compared to Stevie Nicks and umpteen others who use a lot of Vibrato. Part of why I gravitate to more unique vocals than classically trained excellent singers who sort of sound a bit too excellent and thus sound the equivalent of being airbrushed.
With Cobain and Billie - I get the comparison Grohl is making for their respective audiences - I also get why some won't buy it because the genre of music is entirely different from each other as are their vocals, sex, generation etc.
