As for a musician I think is over-rated..I give you Kurt Cobain!

Seriously??? This guy started an entire genre (alternative rock)

Um...not exactly.
He helped influence it, but he certainly didn't 'start' it.
That said, he was a great songwriter.

Meh I'd say his song writing skills were mediocre at best.
What he is most over-rated for though is his skill on guitar. On Rolling Stones list of 100 greatest guitarist he was ranked ~13th. That is simply ridiculous, there is no way any of his musical work on guitar can stand up to anyone else considered to be a great guitarist. His riffs and solos with Nirvana were unbelievably simple, and IMO quite boring and mundane.
