But Kurt wasn't a bad singer, and he could scream into your soul!!!

[dirtynuke]

guys get the fuck over yourselves,

facts:

it was an old, scottish church song

vaselines did it modern

nirvana covered it.

kk?

Kurt even named his daughter after the women in this band, just goes to show how much this band influenced Kurt. I find it funny how the Scottish seem to be involved in everything!

I hate reading the comments sections in these videos. They remind me of just how fucking annoying I was when I was a spotty little Nirvana fanboy. Thank god I grew out of it. They were good. There is no denying it. But they didn't produce enough to be considered as greats. Sadly. They probably weren't even the best of their generation, and they certainly can't be compared to people like Led Zeppelin, Bowie, Dylan, The Beatles etc. It's not even close.

no shit they helped kurt this is a great version of the oringinal

[tosstheturtle]

Doesn't matter that their version is the original it holds nothing against the nirvana version

@OpheliaImmortal No one is as good as Nirvana.

[OpheliaImmortal]

@TheRiffCalendar So you're saying ABBA is a better band than Nirvana? (here's a hint: record sales mean jackshit when it comes to actual band or album quality.)

[MARTINBENITO]

@jesusinbobform WHAT ABOUT FRANCES FARMER?

[TheRiffCalendar]

Haha, yeah right, say this is equal to the band who has sold 50,000,000 albums!

@smallandorange You're wrong, the Christian song is "I'll be a sunbeam" - the opening line of this is "Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam"

Also with Scotland being the country it is I doubt Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee ever went to "sunday school"
