2Come as You Are - Nevermind

it rocks

Almost as good as Teen Spirit, and inpacted an entire generation as Teen Spirit did.

3In Bloom - Nevermind

Another great song by Nirvana

Hard song

Smells Like Teen Spirit may have been the more popular one In Bloom is the one that always rocks as hard as the very first listen.

4All Apologies - MTV Unplugged in New York/In Utero

Originally from In Utero, but the acoustic version became extremely popular.

Greatest song by them b/c its a great combo of their soft/hard edge approach

5You Know You're Right - Nirvana

One of the last songs recorded by Cobain before his death, its a really good song.

You can just feel the emotions Kurt must've felt at the time when you listen to this song, recorded about three months before his death.

the chorus "hey" is great and just listen to Cobain's drunk voice

6Heart Shaped Box - In Utero

A really good song from In Utero

the music video had deep meaning

7Rape Me

this song is the most incredible song ever

Im like a huge nirvana fan.. but I just love this song... and the other dude is right the recording with frances cobain crying in the background is awesome

The With the Lights Out demo version with the baby crying is awesome.

amazing rendition of the Davie Bowie tune. I think he would agree Kurt made it somthin else.

Cause its the shiiiit

Song is #2 on this list, no question...
