ComfortablyNumb
Unquestionable Presence
The Vaselines are an indie pop band from Edinburgh, Scotland that formed in 1986. Though they were not widely known outside of Scotland during their short career, their association with Nirvana brought exposure to the band. Kurt Cobain once described Kelly and McKee as his "most favorite songwriters in the whole world", and even named his daughter Frances Bean Cobain after McKee. Their songs "Son of a Gun" and "Molly's Lips" are covered on Nirvana's album Incesticide and "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam"(which is actually Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam.) covered on Nirvana's Unplugged performance. This gained The Vaseleines a new audience. At the 1991 Reading Festival, Kelly joined Nirvana on stage for a performance of "Molly's Lips" which Cobain said was the happiest time of his life. I first heard covers of their songs on a Nirvana album and had to check them out.
Such a ridiculously catchy band.
