In Bloom - it's the track after Smells Like Teen Spirit on Nevermind, so probably the second most listened to track on that album. Seriously you'd be surprised at how many people remember the lyrics without even realising. It comes in with one of the best intro riffs of all time, and just builds crescendo after crescendo.
Lithium - A real 'sing-a-long' song with some rather sinister sounding lyrics. Sums up Nirvana's songs in a nutshell.
my favorite Nirvana song is "LITHIUM" because it totally take me back in time and remind me of my friends and I singing along from the top of our lungs in our high school parties. " I'm so happy 'cause today I found my friends They're in my head I'm so ugly, that's okay 'Cause so are you" good times!!
Heart shaped box, for the violence and the softness of the lyrics, an oxymoron. Love them.
Lithium for the version where Kurt sings And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard But I'm a turd.. Was very amusing as a young mosher...
The Man Who Ruled the World....cos Kurt did ,simple as!
What do I think? I think Radio Friendly Unit Shifter.
Actually Man Who sold The World from Unplugged. A sensitive and unbelievably subtle reworking of the Bowie classic. The stripped down version let's Kurt's cracked voice come to the fore, and the beautiful instrumentation shows that Nirvana were more than just noise, but a wonderful, musically explosive force to be reckoned with.
Anything from Unplugged,I've sang and loved that album since it came out, my friends were so happy or relieved when they finally brought out the dvd to accompany their most seminal work cause i'd been banging on about it for ohh 10 /20 years!!!:D
Pretty hard decision to make considering the impact they had on me when growing up, I'm going to go with the last track from In-Utero - on the day I bought this album, Kurt's death was released on the news - pretty strange moment seeing that on the BBC news whilst having headphones on listening to In-Utero in the family living room. Track - All Apologies. The single had some great (albeit slightly controversial) B-Sides too. Great band.
Smells Like Teen Spirit. It's 20 years ago and I can still actually remember where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard it. I was in a shop in NYC and it came on the radio. I stood, literally, there in the middle of the shop and forgot everything but the record playing. It was primeval. It was an angry, defiant scream from the heart, wrapped up in a pop song. It was f&%$ing awesome. As soon as the record finished, I just left and went and found a record shop and bought the album, which is still one of the best ever made. I can't believe that Kurt Cobain has been dead 17 years now; it still makes me feel sad to think about that.
in bloom - the drum breaks and vocal hook is perfect - he scuffs notes on the solo proving you don't have to be a great musician to make great music. The unplugged album is also amazing the truth that he conveys is so intense - maybe the truest sounding band since sly and the family stone.
Come as you are - First song I played the very first time I picked up a guitar. Great for beginners because of its simplicity, but then I suppose, therein lies it beauty.
Lithium... because it reminds me that music used to mean something, especially in comparison to the facile, interminable dross people willfully drown themselves in today
It has to be "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and I should win because I pump nirvana through my veins!
Floyd The Barber it just remains me the first time I herd Nirvana, wen my friend got the cassette and we played in a Walkman
Lithium, it reminds me of my teenage years, and I really feel it's Nirvana at its best!
drain you. love it. (and aneurysm is wicked.)
Sliver for telling a story of a boy lost within a family.
smells like teen spirit . Its the tune of a generation .
It has to be Lounge act... the bass line is epic and the song proves that if you dont have to have enough lyrics to fill the song, just scream them with feeling instead!
Lounge act - that baseline still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. the way it goes from softly singing to screaming really takes me back to the first time I listened to nevermind and thought "wow this is incredible"
Smells like teen spirit, as someone said above, the tune of a generation
Come as you are, cause it´s such a meaningful song.
Molly's Lips - it's just got such punch and drive!
Negative creep as it's the ultimate form of nihilism.
Smells like teen spirit; it will always be a classic!
Has to be man who the sold the world - Mesmeric
I remember the death of Cobain like if it was yesterday... I was 10 and never had a big brother to introduce me to the band but for some weird reason I knew... "Smells Like Teen Spirit" will be my favourite.
My favourite song of nirvana is " smells like teen spirit" because it reminds me of being a teenager when music really really meant something.
'Where did you sleep last night' from Unplugged is probably the most amazing performance I have seen,the feeling generated in that song and the look in Kurt's eyes during the last line of the song sums up what Nirvana were about,-dark intensity!
has to be "drain you", that song dragged me through my teenage years
Polly
Love Buzz - Because the bass line is basically the default music that I hum in my head, and has been for many years, yet I don't hate it.
Dumb - my youthful angst summed up
that was like choosing your favourite parent. impossible!
Teen Spirit – ’cause it’s still there under the middle age spread!
Milk It.... it reminds me the most about my years as a grungy teenager... torn jeans, long dirty hair... over-sized holey jersey...
Although it's a cover Where Did You Sleep Last Night completely transformed Leadbelly's original into the dark emotional intense version on Unplugged... The classic Cobain step up an octave on the last verse never fails to give me goosebumps
Smells like teen spirit, because the first time i heard it in the radio station i worked in at the time i said "what is this shit, and who the hell is going to listen to it??????" .... LAST FAMOUS WORDS
Polly - because the lyrics sound like a cruel joke.
Lithium is my all time favourite song because remains me of my misspent youth :)
where did you sleep last night from the MTV unplugged show!!
Where did you sleep last night (live version) - Cobain's voice is chillingly beautiful on this track
Serve the servants - In Utero. This song captures the feeling of being young, misunderstood, mislead by the world, hypocrites, the failure of adult society to teach the young in a way that the entire world youth related to. Nevermind the fact that the song is just awesome to listen. R.I.P Kurt. somedays i could die from the pain for the loss.
You Know You're Right is probably my favourite. 1. I love the raw emotiveness of it. 2. It's the one Nirvana song I didn't listen to a gazillion times to as a teenager
Lake of Fire - Awesome folksy tune, and I love the cynicism.
Smells Like Teen Spirit - 21 year since it was first released and it's like the first day....Pure sex, pure rock
"On A Plain"... perhaps the most perfect rock song ever! From the second the feedback guitar injects urgency at the start to the soaring chorus....I can't stop bouncing, life gets better immediately!
My favourite Nirvana song is Heart-Shaped Box
