Teen Spirit kinda changed everything. Being alive and young and in that moment in time was quite literally life changing. So I can't be mad at anyone putting it in the #1 spot. It's a case of a song not necessarily being a band's "best song" but getting recognition above better songs for the sheer force and impact that it had.

I am not one of these snobby pretentious music people. I dig Teen Spirit. It's like the in thing for some folks to NOT like the BIG song from a band. It's a good song but I can think of a lot of songs on that same album I like more. Shrug.

I love "Smells Like Teen Spirit", and it certainly changed my life, but it isn't my favorite Nirvana song. There are so many great Nirvana songs...it kind of boggles the mind.
10. Sifting
09. Negative Creep
08. Smells Like Teen Spirit
07. Lithium
06. Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
05. All Apologies
04. Sappy
03. Heart-Shaped Box
02. Aneurysm
01. Drain You

This. When you look at their catalog you'd think they were around for 10 years.

ALMOST made my list. Would make a top 15. Good tune. When I was a kid I thought "Electrolytes smell like semen" was "make your wife smell like semen" and I thought it was hilarious.
