Roostophe Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Since everyone's doing it, my fav Nirvana songs: About A Girl School Sliver In Bloom Breed Territorial Pissings Heart-Shaped Box I don't actually own In Utero, I only have Nevermind and Nirvana. I used to have Bleach, but then I lost it, found it, but was broken.
McMad Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Rape Me - for obvious reasons. Lounge Act - for less obvious reasons.
NotAshley Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 I don't actually own In Utero, I only have Nevermind and Nirvana. I used to have Bleach, but then I lost it, found it, but was broken. When you say Nirvana, do you mean the best of album? And to add to what's already been said (!), I completely agree that it's people who have only heard Smells Like Teen Spirit and possibly a few other commercial Nirvana songs that will think Kurt was a bad musician. Personally, I think he's one of the best songwriters ever to have graced our planet, and I know this will cause a huge debate, but the amount of emotion and energy he put into his lyrics fascinates me. If I were to list my favourite Nirvana songs, most of their stuff would be here. They're my favourite band, it's just a shame I was only a baby when Kurt died so I never got to appreciate them until recently. Still, some of my favourites are, in no particular order: In Utero Heart-Shaped Box Serve The Servants Radio Friendly Unit Shifter Rape Me Nevermind Drain You - Nevermind Come As You Are - Nevermind Then there are the demos, such as Verse Chorus Verse, You Know You're Right (also on the best of album) and the beautiful Do Re Mi. I do like some songs from Bleach, but I'm not going to say I love the album as much as In Utero (which is my favourite as I feel Kurt's songwriting really came into its own by that point) just to sound knowledgeable. A lot of people are all "Oh yeah, Bleach is their best album, innit!" and if they think so, that's great, but if it's just to sound like they 'know' Nirvana then there's no point!
Raining_again Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Heart Shaped Box and Come As You Are are awesome. I cannot stand s.l.t.s. I'm not a major fan of nirvana just like the odd song ^__^ And I'm in agreement with Mr Odders, its not relevant to me whether the song lyrics make all that much sense.
The Bard Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Kurt was a pretty great lyricist. Fave Nirvana songs: About A Girl Dive Aneurysm Lithium Lounge Act Smells Like Teen Spirit (even though it's overplayed, it's still a lot of fun) Heart Shaped Box Serve The Servants Pennyroyal Tea Polly You Know You're Right. And to add to what's already been said (!), I completely agree that it's people who have only heard Smells Like Teen Spirit and possibly a few other commercial Nirvana songs that will think Kurt was a bad musician. Personally, I think he's one of the best songwriters ever to have graced our planet, and I know this will cause a huge debate, but the amount of emotion and energy he put into his lyrics fascinates me. That's some fairly vacant hyperbole to be honest with you.
Wesley Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 So I heard that Dave Grohl is going to spread out Kurt's ashes in the crowd at tonights gig.
MoogleViper Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 I was talking to my driving instructor today about music and he told me that he went to see Nirvana live. Then I told him about his ashes being stolen. He thinks some die hard Nirvana fan smoke them to try and imbibe some of his spirit. Then he started saying about how awesome the word imbibe was.
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 So I heard that Dave Grohl is going to spread out Kurt's ashes in the crowd at tonights gig. So he's confessed to nabbing them, or has Cobain been spread out like the Dragonballs.
Noodleman Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 So I heard that Dave Grohl is going to spread out Kurt's ashes in the crowd at tonights gig. If he had, it would have been the best gig ever, fact. Still getting Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones out to play the encore was pretty fucking awesome.
arab_freak Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 I thought everyone agreed she was the one who killed him in the first place.
The Bard Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 That's clearly rubbish. I love how people love to spout controversial bullshit as if it's the truth. And by love, I mean hate to the extent of making me want to shove a highly venomous snake up their urethra like a catheter.
Dyson Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 To you, what defines a "lyrical genius" is putting Arnie quotes in their music. And the theme to Ghostbusters. *dun dun dundundun duuun duun* Arnie's Pizza's closed, And you can't GET DOWN!!! Who you gonna call? JOHN KIMBLE! *theme continues* *applaud* Thanks ladies and gentlemen, I'll be back tomorrow. ... No but really, I'd like to see that be done.
