See, this is what I meant when I asked at the OP for people not to start shouting at me saying "How can you not like that? It's a classic!" Eye of the beholder, man. Or ear, in this case. Takes all kinds.
Actually it is. Cobain was basically a pop songwriter in the vein of the Beatles and the Kinks, he was a Pixies fanatic, and the whole grunge sound basically came from Black Flag's My War album which was hardcore punk directly influenced by Black Sabbath. So Unknown is spot on.
