Kurt Cobain has topped a new poll of inspirational music "heroes".
The Nirvana lead singer was joined in the NME poll by artists such as David Bowie, John Lennon and Dave Grohl.
Radio 1 DJ Steve Lamacq recalled: "The first time I met Kurt he was watching The Wizard Of Oz on TV at a B&B in Shepherd's Bush just before Sliver was released - he looked like a grunge Christopher Robin. There was something very innocent about Kurt, he had an almost childlike detachment. The way he used to withdraw inside himself made him a terrific observer of people."
The full top fifty can be found in the current issue of the magazine.
