I also think Andy Wallace's mix was a big help for that album.
Apparently the band hated the mix because the drums were too "clean". (he replaced the bass an snare sounds with his signature sounds)
Compare Butch's initial mix to Andy's and anyone can see how Wallace helped make them more appealing, not to mention the countless other successes he had with other bands in that era.
But yes, Nirvana probably wouldn't have been anything at all without Butch and Kurt Cobain may still be alive because Courtney would've stayed with Billy Corgan and wouldn't have had Kurt shot in the face.
