Funny, here I am first ragging on Nirvana, now I'm cheering them on.:clap: You guys have convinced me to face my own prejudices.:nonono: So here are my favorite Nirvana songs:

Come As You Are (even though this is a plagiarized version of a song by Killing Joke, this is a GREAT song and video.:cool: )

Polly (simple straightforward--and the lyrics are disturbing. It's about a rapist. Twisted.)

Territorial Pissings (love that "Get It Together" quote from the Youngbloods in the opening.)

On a Plain (had me hooked when I first listened to it)

Heartshaped Box (one of the coolest videos ever made, and I LOVE trying to figure out lyrics like "Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet." I have my theories on that one...:idea: )

Smells Like Teen Spirit. That is the only song besides Rape Me that I have heard from Nirvana. The former is the one I like better.

There are few I dont like! I LOVE NIRVANA! Smells like Teen Spirit has the best rhythm and beat and stuff, but All Apologies has killer lyircs...."what else could I say, everyone was gay?" But I really like their remake of the Meat Puppets song "plateau", or i think it's a meat puppets cover, and their david bowie cover of "man who sold the world" those are awesome!

I remember the first time when me and my friends first heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Okay we had heard bits and pieces before, but you know when a BIG MUSICAL MOMENT ARRIVES when on the radio they announce: "Coming up, the new song by Nirvana, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'!" Me and another friend at the restaurant where we worked by the Seattle Center were standing there in the kitchen WAITING TENSELY....And when that song came on it was like a REVELATION.:eek:

I'm listening to the unplugged album now so i'm bumping this..My other favorite songs by Nirvana are: "Come as you are", "About a girl" and "all apologies".

I have the unplugged versions of "All Apologies" and "About A Girl", or at least I think thats where they came from. I downloaded them off Kazaa, so I'm not sure. I know that Kurt says on the song "About A Girl", right before he starts playing, "this is off our first record, most people don't own it." Isnt that the unplugged version?

Mr. Stefani

Yeah, thats the unplugged version(track #1). I don't really like the unplugged version.

The songs arent the greatest on the unplugged version, but I like how you can hear some of the conversation on there, like that on About a Girl.
