#18 Kurt Cobain
Kurt Cobain was born in 1967 on the 20th of February in Aberdeen, Washington. When he was just 14 years old, his uncle offered him a choice between a bike and a used guitar for his birthday and Kurt Cobain opted for the instrument. Strangely enough, Elvis Presley was also handed a similar choice, although, between a rifle and a guitar. It can be said that the rest is history for Kurt Cobain and his used guitar that started his passion for music.
