That's like the ultimate Nirvana song, the one song that captures what Nirvana was.

totally agree. I had a terrible nostalgia kick when driving back from family yesterday evening. Live @ reading was booming from the speakers, and i was screaming out loud to aneurysm. Some people on the road might have thought i was nuts.

Pretty much. I think Allmusic wrote that this album best reflected Nirvana's overall character, even though it's kind of disjointed, and I agree with that

I do agree that that is your favourite Nirvana song, but yes, many probably won't agree that it is.

They had a way better sound with Dale than with Dave.

More disjointed, you mean. Dave is a far better drummer technically. But because Kurt was a shit guitarist and couldnt sing very well, and Nova was a nutjob bassist, Dale fitted in the band better.

Come As You Are is the only song I keep coming back to by them. It makes me very nostalgic and sad. There is almost a haunting feel to it.

05-10-2011, 05:12 PM
in the big scheme of things, i have to give this band credit for starting a personal pattern of music consumption that more or less continues to this day

also for getting me proto-depressed which made depressed possible later

Why are you being so illusive? It's fucking Nirvana and you're posting on a Smashing Pumpkins board. That's like saying "Yeah I love bread but I've never really gotten around to eating a dinner roll."

What were you too busy with to not listen to Nirvana?

As for my favorite songs, Lounge Act and Radio Friendly Unit Shifter were always pretty high on my list.

Speaking of under-rated Nirvana songs, I thought I should share this with you guys... Here is my personal compilation of the best of all the studio b-sides/album outtakes. I tried to objectively pick the 15 best songs that were never on any of the 4 albums, and sequenced them to be a cohesive album, with volumes adjusted for some semblance of audio-continuity.

I like to think of it as a sequel to Incesticide. I call it Formaldehyde...

*btw all tracks sourced from their original releases, not the box set (unless they were exclusive to the box set itself). For example, "Oh The Guilt" is the version from the split single, so it has Cobain's flickering lighter, and so forth.

1. You Know You're Right
2. Sappy
3. Even In His Youth
4. Spank Thru
5. Token Eastern Song
6. Verse Chorus Verse
7. Here She Comes Now
8. D-7
9. Curmudgeon
10. Return of The Rat
11. Oh, The Guilt
12. I Hate Myself and Want To Die
13. Moist Vagina
14. Old Age
15. Ain't It A Shame

Sure it can be argued that it's a bit of a throwaway but it still packs a bunch. Really stuck out from the radio when it came out a couple of years.

Sappy and I Hate Myself And Want To Die are good picks as well. Also "Opinion":

Yeah, they kinda media-blitzed it because it was the "LAST NIRVANA SONG!" and so if anything it wound be overrated, but it's such an awesome song, I refuse to talk shit about it.

I remember getting a bootleg--I think it was Outcesticide V--with the crappy live version of You Know You're Right sometime in the late 90s, and I thought it was a cool song, but wished I could someday hear the studio version. I shit my pants when I first heard it when the Greatest Hits came out.

Thanks guys, this thread actually made me rediscover Nirvana! I just dl'd my three favorite bootlegs from back in the day, Trick or Treat, Roma and Out of The Blue (the three best boots from the three eras of the band) and currently listening non-stop.

idk that nirvana is underrated in any way, only that smells like teen spirit is vastly overrated.. anything off in utero is better than that song

god damn it really sucks that he couldn't have lived to put out another album
