Best Song Off This Album, Poll # 8: Nirvana - Nevermind (1991)

[LG]

The obvious choice for me "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

Most people will choose that song but it's like Bohemian Rhapsody or Stairway to me. It gets old after awhile.

Any coincidence that this is the shortest song on the album?

It's the Only Nirvana album I own Jen. I understand the respect factor with an entire generation of music fans who grew up with them, but I am not a fan. It's entirely possible I will live the rest of my life without playing Nevermind again.

But I didn't mind the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video when I saw it years ago...so that's why I picked it.

I totally get that LG. I don't know a whole lot of people older than my generation that can get into Nirvana. I think In Utero is also a fabulous album. You should listen to All Apologies.

^^I like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains more than Nirvana, Pumpkins or Pixies, so it's not like I am against all the bands from that era.

^^^ Uh oh. Don't let Sooty see that.

He's like a bloodound, the mere scent of a Pumpkin and he's all over it.

I just don't like Billy Corgan's vocals,,,some songs are okay, the musicianship is top notch but his voice...well it grates on me.

I think him and Billy Idol have the two best sneers as vocalists in music, one I like the other not so much. No offense to the Pumpkinheads in here intended.

There's not too many of those here.

I understand Sooty's frustration though. I'm a lover of Coldplay and most people here despise them.
