i don't know about U-Mass but the heavy riff in smells like teen spirit IS a sloppy version of boston's 'more than a feeling'. chord for chord it's the same thing. then again, it's a very common progression. i've heard live mp3s of nirvana spoofing the boston tune before kicking into SLTS.

rape me also uses the same chord progression. same as 'self esteem' by the offspring.

it's about as common as the chord progression the chili peppers lifted from tom petty. Am G D

oh yeah - louie louie is a 3 chord progression SLTS is 4 chords.
