I don’t know why I like this song, I just do.

Well we’re singing, and we’re playing, but you can’t tell, what I’m saying.
Weird Al.

Apparently, Kurt Cobain loved Weird Al’s version.

Knocked Michael Jackson out of the #1 spot, I believe.

I'm a child of the 1960s...absolutely the greatest decade for music. The Stones,Beatles,Yardbirds,Who...the greatest by far! But I must admit that Smells Like Teen Spirit is a true classic...as is the video that went with it.

I never liked the album. There were bands like pavement and etc breaking huge ground back then and Nirvana was mediocre.

Was never a fan of Nirvana... The only reason they’re popular is the suicide

Nirvana was pretty good. I recently learned Dave Grohl was the drummer.
He was so worried about Trump playing one of his songs at a rally, he forgot to keep his zipper up and got his side piece pregnant. I feel bad for his wife and daughters. What a jerk he turned out to be.

Alice In Chains was so much better than Nirvana.

Never a fan. I thought they sucked. My opinion anyway. To each his own.

Out of context it seems a strange selection for Great Songs, but it was. It's rough, angry, and filled with self contempt and wouldn't be remembered at all except that it was a watershed for the music of the time. Like punk, it isn't supposed to be pretty. What bothered Cobain about singing it as a hit was that do to so was to embrace what it was supposed to be rejecting.
So there I was, got a new job in Seattle after years abroad, walking through downtown toward Belltown, and I see this marquee that says "Courtney Killed Kurt", and heaven help me, I thought it was the name of a band...
