Oh yeah, I have that and really dig the Meat Puppets' tunes as much as anything.

I heard "Love Buzz" for the first time on KEXP last week. Nice little song.

Quote:
Pre-Grunge Heavy Alt-Rock
Key bands: Jane’s Addiction, Social Distortion, Living Colour, Faith No More
Era of dominance: 1988-1992
Defining hit: Jane’s Addiction, “Stop”
Vestigial reminder in a recent hit: Avenged Sevenfold, “Scream”
I’m glad that these bands all at least have one signature hit I hear on the radio every week, because it’s nice to be reminded that there wasn’t some kind of vast unfilled niche between R.E.M. and Poison before Nirvana showed up.

Some of his stuff is great and have seen him a few times live. Great live show.

Got some good story telling in his songs. Reminds me of Mitch headberg a bit

i used to run a dialup bulletin board (think a msgboard like this but with some downloads and a couple'a text games OH and of course since only one person could call up and read/post at any given time, if your board was popular you had to exert quality control on your users/members otherwise your board would be filled up with lame people all day and thus it would suck. that touch of elitism still exists in your average "fuck you i'm going TL;DR" sini post cuz man, i come from a day and age when people dialed up all these different boards and posted on boards like we've got here that since it was literally their dime their dancefloor they said everything they wanted to say and since you couldn't get a response in 2-5mins that you reply to in another 2-5 minutes, msgboards weren't the hybrid of twitter and IRC that places like this are now.... people actually wrote MESSAGES. like i do. AHEM.

wow i got way the fuck off topic. alls i meant to say was that the board i ran was called "dimension seven" which was a cover they did that was on that legendary $30 hormoaning CD/EP that was behind glass at the tower records in the mecca and as such it was always some "OOOOHHHH"-level shit to us little geeky wannabe music nerds and when we finally got to hear the songs on hormoaning it was like a special occasion so go figure we named our board after one of them.

of course later in life i'd go back and listen to the song and realize "holy shit i think this song is about being latently gay / in the closet" and then laugh when i realize that the friend i ran the board with (he had the comptuer and the phone line, i designed the msgboard) eventually had a falling out with me where quite honestly i always maintained he was seemingly getting pretty gay towards me at the end BUT I DIGRESS!

dimension seven is a good song anyways tho i forgot who actually wrote it. i love that good ol fashioned heroin song aneurysm (and this was a point in my life where i hadn't even smoked weed yet) and then floyd the barber! how can you not like the song floyd the barber? i think sliver was another childhood jam off of the first LP that i liked... negative creep (i can relate on all levels. ha). drain you is a great song. i think i remember dive being a fun one too..... and truth be told i really liked the stuff that got supermegauberpopular on nevermind, in fact i always liked that stuff way better than in utero even tho by most-if-not-all-accounts nirvana got way better at music/making between nevermind and in utero and in utero is prolly a more artistically cromulent endeavor than nevermind, still, the only thing that ruined nevermind is that those big 3-4 songs or whatever were played SO GOD DAMN MUCH that playing smells like teen spirit is more of a nostalgic trip back to 1992 than a chance to listen to a nirvana song.

but in bloom, come as you are, lithium.... oh my drain you's a neverminder.... and of course stay away / pay to play... those were way more fun than anything on in utero which never really mattered to me that much as your typical suburban-USA 90s teenager with his USDA-regulated-once-per-lifetime-6-month-nirvana-kick.

holy shit i'm way too TLDRy today. i'll change that right up!

List of good Nirvana songs:

Love Buzz
Come As You Are
Drain You
Dive
Aneurysm
Heart Shaped Box
Rape Me
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

...and songs like "The Man Who Sold The World" and "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" from the unplugged album, although those are covers.

Everything else is shit.

"About a Girl" off Bleach is great. Less so off Unplugged. I love "Smells Like Teen Spirit," who cares.

"In Bloom" and "All Apologies" are horrific.

In Bloom and Lithium are probably my favorite hits of theirs.

Also a huge fan of Scentless Apprentice

I didn't realize Nirvana was so divisive. FWIW, I think "Aneurysm" is one of the five best songs of the 90s.

This guy gets it. Best Nirvana song ever.
In some ways, after Ten, I think Pearl Jam has been trying to recreate In Utero ever since.
With varying levels of success.

IS there something wrong with the quote function?

"Corduroy" is a Best Song Of The Nineties contender in my book.

You must have a big-ass book of "Best Song Of the 90's Contenders".

I love that PJ song, but really?

I do, actually. I love so much music from the '90s that I'd probably make impassioned cases for about a hundred songs.

Yeah, but Hail, Hail and Faithful were 90's songs, and better that Corduroy....no?

I listened to all the Nirvana recommendations/mentions from the thread and these are my likes:

Love Buzz
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
Aneurysm
Dive
Come as You Are
In Bloom
Rape Me
All Apologies
Drain You
Scentless Apprentice
About a Girl

"Love Buzz" is clearly my favorite Nirvana song. On the fence about "Scentless Apprentice" and "About a Girl."

Corduroy is not even the best song on that album.

Speaking of that album, Vitalogy is better than In Utero.

Love Buzz is indeed brilliant. Scentless Apprentice is a Grohl song. Starts off with the great drums and quickly turns to shit. Sliver might be the worst Nirvana song but there's so many contenders for worst Nirvana song on Incesticide that it's hard to choose.

Agree. Vitaology is fucking stacked.

Not on the same album but "Hail, Hail" is up there with my favorite Pearl Jam songs.
