I have to admit, there are times I just ignore my tinnitus and hearing loss and still crank Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to the point the floor shakes from the dual co-phased M&K Subwoofers and Klipsch Forte's .......... even at 57 years old.
I’m older than you, and my son turned me on to Nirvana in the 90s. He left his cassettes behind when he went off to university & I too crank ‘em up on occasion.
The Patti version is a whole ‘nother animal— haunting & desperate & employing surprising instrumentation. A banjo? Or is that a mandolin?
