right. but all the covers you mention were only played live. and nirvana covering more than a feeling was very much tongue in cheek because of the similarities between the chorus riff in MTAF and the intro riff for smells like teen spirit (same chords slightly altered rhythm)
as for 'the man who sold the world' how many people do you think who grew up on nirvana recognized that as a bowie tune when they first heard it? same with all the other covers from that unplugged session.
as for johnny cash covering NIN. you might want to give credit where credit is due for that one. those cover discs are ALL rick rubin's doing. hell rubin even got soundgarden to record a 'country-fied' version of rusty cage before cash would even consider covering the tune.
