Sooooo addictive!! I love it, no matter what the original is.

@27Wop There is no version of Smells Like Teen Spirit on Nirvana's MTV Unplugged album.

Not a Patti Smith fan, personally, but this cover breathes new life into a song murdered by radio stations and other media X)
Long live Kurt.

@gubdad Really? ... I was disappointed by the album. This is probably the best track but adds nothing to the Nirvana Unplugged version and ‘White Rabbit’ was just awful. The album just made me want to play the original versions of these covers [sorry, re-interpretations]. I was expecting something more ‘ballsy’ from Patti Smith, maybe it’s overproduced and better live?

This cover is awesome!
-
Who's the girl holding the rabbit?
-
nirvana as easy listening music lol. she's pretty talented tho
-
Awesome cover by Patty!
-
pretty good song on its own...
i don't even link it to the original by nirvana (which i like)...
i appreciate it as a completely independent song, not as a cover...
patti smith really gives a new soul to this song...and i don't find it terrible, i find it brilliant...what a great lady...

why bother with a comment that's over 8 months old



Ease up there Cobain fans. No one is attacking your idol with this cover. Think of it as a tribute. The original will always be the original but I think this version is also very good. Its a different take on the song, one I never heard before.

The whole album is magnificent. This is really a high point on a record that I can only describe as the best set of covers I've ever heard. Smith really gets inside originals. She's practically channeling Cobain, but in a style all her own. She respects the original and still manages to bring out nuances that might always have been there.
