I Feel Stupid And Contagious / A Nirvana Thread

"Lounge Act" is just flat-out perfection.

So. Fucking. Good.

[ridleybradout]

Nice to know this is a safe place to lounge with other friends of Lounge Act. It's long been my fave from Nevermind, closely followed by Breed and Drain You.

Incesticide is their B-sides right? I dunno, that sounds like a good idea, but is it good? Because Im worried it might kind of dilute things taking in so much new stuff at once. Like chronologically or not, I wouldn't feel like I would have had a better experience listening to Lost Dogs in the middle of PJ's albums.

It's a collection of singles, compilation tracks, BBC sessions and unreleased songs. It's a similar idea to "Lost Dogs", but it was recorded from 1988-1991 and came out in 1992...not 15 years later. And they didn't re-record or re-mix anything or include any bullshit novelty songs. Kurt went through the (relatively small) archive, sequenced the tracks the way he wanted, and out it went. I doubt it took very much time to conceive, but to him it was very much a legitimate album. And its still a million times better than "Lost Dogs", which is just a gigantic mess.

Yup, Lounge Act was a definite highlight of nevermind.

Pretty impossible for me a judge an album where I've heard 7 of the songs about a million times before ever hearing the album as a whole though.

[mikejasond]

After hearing all albums besides the B-sides one here is my verdict.


Their best album is Unplugged <_<
Their best song is a tie between About a Girl (SO GOOD) and The Man Who Sold the World
Nevermind is pretty amazing but I have heard half of it so much it's impossible for me to actually judge it, it makes me feel like the album is completely comprised of the other 6 songs. At least three of them were good though so this is probably a great album.

For what it's worth I really like both the final Nirvana and AIC songs (All Apologies and Over Now respectively)

How do you consider "The Man Who Sold the World" a Nirvana song?

Nirvana fans are always split between Nevermind fans and In Utero fans. It's an oversimplification but it's always been true; either you love the poppy Nirvana the most or you love the sludgy and abrasive Nirvana more.

Oh, and Bleach rules.

I know it's not a Nirvana song, but their recording of it is better than the majority of their actual songs lol. Like when I listened to these albums those were the two tracks I played over and over.

Well I miss the hints of poppy Nirvana we got from About a Girl. For some reason by the time we get to Nevermind, they start ruining songs with verses I love and choruses I don't care for (Lithium, Come as you Are)

I suppose someone could say All Along The Watch Tower is Jimi Hendrix's best song. He kinda owned it and its a more popular version than the original.

They could say that, but they'd be wrong.

[mikejasond]

You could say that, if that's your favorite recording from Jimi Hendrix. And you could like Knockin on Heavens Door as a GnR song. Or Last Kiss as a Pearl Jam song! (lol)

I think its very fair to count the song when thinking of Nirvana's best song, especially because their version is played on rock radio.

Same with When the Levee Breaks

[LoathedVermin72]

It's perfectly cromulent to consider a cover to be an artist's best song

I remember the last time I visited the Pit regularly was when there was a thread where people were arguing that Crown of Thorns was Pearl Jam's best song. Lol.

The same way "Hurt" is a Johnny Cash song?

I'm firmly in the middle as far as Nirvana goes - Nevermind and In Utero are both top albums for me. Nary a bad song on them, truth be told.

Earlier in this thread there was a discussion where people were talking about how they can't think of a Nirvana song they don't like.

And I'm mostly in that camp too; I'm not as devoted a fan as most people here but I like them, and couldn't think of any "bad" songs.

But I just thought of one. "Rape Me". "Rape Me" is a boring song and I don't like it.
