I love About a Girl and I think a few other songs are good. Bleach is a fun little record, but it feels somewhat disposable and I made the argument (that did not go over well) that it is substantially below the other two Nirvana records in terms of quality, and that is remembered the way it is more for the fact that the band that wrote bleach would go on to write Nevermind and In Utero rather than for the strengths of the record itself.
Remember what happened the last time this came up stip?

The fact that this was picked before anything from Paul's Boutique is fucking absurd.
This statement is absurd. L2I came out first, was way more popular and more successful than PB.

I forgot how funny this video is. LOL at the headbanger's head coming off at the 3:10 mark.

Sure. But let's not act like this isn't the best song on License to Ill. It's a solid pick, mango.
