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!

Re: Top Ten Nirvana Songs?
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.

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