Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

Stumbled across this and figured I'd share it with my fellow DVDTALKERS. I pretty much agree with the list, I just wish that "Lithium" would have made it on to the list. "Paper Cuts?" I don't think I even remember that song. Sounds creepy though, so I'm going to check it out!

For those too lazy to hit the link, here are the ones they chose in the article:

10. Aneurysm
9. Dive
8. Breed
7. Paper Cuts
6. Something In The Way
5. All Apologies
4. About A Girl
3. Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle
2. Smells Like Teen Spirit
1. Heart Shaped Box

I disagree with some of those choices.....I definitely wouldn't have Paper Cuts, Frances Farmer, or Something In The Way on there, and I'm not really a big fan of All Apologies either....I'd definitely add Drain You, You Know You're Right, Pennyroyal Tea, and then either Been A Son or School* (if you want another Bleach track on there) instead....

*If we included cover songs recorded by them (and not just their own written material), then I'd swap Where Did You Sleep Last Night with Been A Son/School...

Well son, you have a lot of catching up to do!

And I envy you for all the great songs you have yet to hear. Nirvana only has 2 bad songs: "Come As You Are" and "Something In The Way". The rest are gems.

By they way, this list is a total joke. No "Sliver"? When that song came out on the Sub Pop 7", EVERYONE (in the "scene") was talking about it! It was just one of those songs that you could hear 10 times in a row. In fact, I knew of someone who recorded it 23 times on one side of a 90min tape just so she could hear it over and over again without having to wear out the vinyl or move the needle back to the start of the song every 2 minutes. I don't know anyone (personally) who knows anything about music that doesn't claim that song to be their favorite Nirvana song.

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

Sliver is probably my favorite as well but I think that's a bit of an overstatement.

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

Come as You Are a bad song? Why is that?

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

Please tell me you forgot to add Downer to the list. It's their worst song and it was on TWO of their cds.

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

I'd rather listen to Downer than Beans....you seriously cannot think Beans is a better song, even if Downer isn't one of their best.....

And CAAY and SITW are bad songs??

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

Beans is a throwaway Kurdt demo. Downer is just terrible.

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

It's slow. It's boring. It's also a ripoff of The Damned "Life Goes On".

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

In no particular order:

Heart-Shaped Box
Aneurysm (live)
About a Girl
Come As You Are
Breed
In Bloom
Verse Chorus Verse (or whatever its supposed to be called)
The Man Who Sold the World (I prefer this version over Bowie's)
Lake of Fire (another cover I enjoy)
Sliver

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

As well as Killing Joke's Eighties.

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

Yes and Killing Joke actually got money from a settlement, but I think the Damned did do it first. I could be wrong though (which would be a first).

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

1. You Know You're Right
2. Francis Farmer will have her revenge on seattle
3. Pennyroyal tea (black album\hits version)
4. Been a son (black album\hits version)
5. In Bloom
6. All Apologies
7. Heart Shaped Box (took me a while to appreciate this one)
8. Oh Me (unplugged album)
9. Dumb
10. Dive

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

I'll roll with a bit of a deep-digger Top 10, in no particular order.

Blew
Dive
Radio Friendly Unit Shift
Territorial Pissings
Negative Creep
Son Of A Gun
Stay Away
Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle
Floyd The Barber
Aero Zeppelin

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

pennyroyal tea and In Bloom are my favorites.

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

I love Floyd the Barber. That's just a messed up song right there.

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

Seriously messed up but completely fitting of the oddball-ness of the band.

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
 

Lounge Act is the most underrated Nirvana song.
