nirvana kicks ass

my family dont understand why the hell i like nirvana, it was kinda a surprise i guess coz my sisters were all into classical, jazz and that crap and my family loathe nirvana but i dont like them just to be rebellious. it sounds *** and cliche' but kurt's story touched me and i watched all these vids on youtube and read all this stuff and bought books and basically everything nirvana you can imagine ,, still love em

my favourite 10 songs would have to be:
(not in order)
10. Opinion
9. You Know Your Right
8. Siftings
7. Paper Cuts
6. Dive
5. Drain You
4. Pen Cap Chew
3. Stay Away
2. Blew
1. Floyd The Barber

i prefer kurt screaming than my parents

If you had to create an album of Nirvana songs that were overplayed, Grunge mainstays (i.e. pitching them as a wildly different sounding band) what would you put on there? Lets say it should have 8 to 12. (I'm going to put mine in tomorrow [pending i remember])

Jesus, if anything should be written on my tombstone its this.

"no one ever knew what he meant"

In a different world I'd hold people at gun point and ask what they didn't understand. Sorry, it just drives me nuts when I can read something just fine and no one else can. I'll try this one again...

Nirvana sounds like the most boring **** these days. We've heard the same 7 to 10 songs on Modern Rock Radio for the past 18 years. People forget that they had songs like "Territorial Pissings" and "School" and think its all "in Bloom" and "Dumb."

Nirvana could be pretty raw and interesting if you aren't stuck listening to the Beatles rehash. Not that I don't like those songs, but I really enjoy the other side of Nirvana. My lsit would look like this...

Negative Creep
School
Breed
Territorial Pissings
On a Plane*
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
Very Ape
Milk It*
Rape Me
Plateu
Where did you sleep last night

*(I know its on the radio but it sucks less than most of their songs)

And what I was trying to do was say this, if you listen to the right songs they could sound like a noise/garage/punk band, make a playlist that displays this.

[Alex/]

Blew
About A Girl
Negative Creep
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Come As You Are
On A Plain
Heart-Shaped Box
Rape Me
All Apologies

That's three from each.

[mr dave]

so why did you ask for an overplayed tracklist?

if i'm making a set of the better bits then...

Lounge Act
Milk it
Very Ape
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
Scentless Apprentice
Hairspray Queen
AeroZeppelin
Tourette's
Hate Myself and Want to Die
Territorial Pissings

[Piss Me Off]

Underplayed tracklist:

Floyd the Barber
Aneurysm
Spank Thru
Territorial Pissings
Drain You
Milk It
Jesus Don't Want Me For a Sunbeam
Oh the Guilt
Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through the Strip
Sappy
