Nirvana was a teriffic band. Noisy guitars, screaming, angst, incomprehensible lyrics, tearing up the stage. They were my generation’s The Who (get it?)
I can always play Nevermind all the way through, but all their other albums rock too. Unplugged in New York gives me chills every time I hear it. These guys were MUSICIANS. They played their own music and sounded great.
Recently the With the Lights Out box set has introduced me to a bunch of new Kurt/Nirvana gems like “Mrs. Butterworth”, and their covers of “They Hung Him on a Cross”, and “Ain’t it a Shame.”
Kurt always seemed like somebody I would have hung out with in high school. Different crowds, different music I guess.
