why wasn't this, mexican seafood, beeswax, and hairspray queen not on Bleach?! They're amazing songs.

@skabbonica D7 and return of the rat are songs originally done by the Wipers if you haven't heard of them I suggest you check them out they were Nirvana's biggest influence Kurt Cobain said that in an interview in Portland were the Wipers were from

Kurt was so cute

@skabbonica i'd never knock him for that. I'm aware of his merits, infact year to year more merits seems to reveal themselves. He was outstanding, the fact that he wasn't a fluent lead guitarist is just one thing, its who he was, and Nirvana's music if fine the way it is. If someone put some kind of generic flashy guitar solos over it it would just sound awful. His style was his style, and anyone who knocks it can knock till their knuckles fall off. His lyrics are almost unmatchable

People like to knock Kurt these days for not being a virtuoso guitarist and having simple song structure, while completely ignoring the soul that he brought to even the simplest songs, and his enormously wide taste in music, which seeped into all his songs; originals and covers. (Beeswax has always been a personal favorite of mine - the anger and frustration conveyed by those seemingly surreal lyrics is impossible to describe)
-
@willzer808 It's true, they're not all originals, but take a song like "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" - a dozen blues artists had performed it before Kurt ever heard it, and as is tradition with blues songs, each one of those covers is judged solely on their own merit. Choosing a song made famous by Leadbelly in this case likely introduced thousands of listeners to Delta blues, and at the same time, Nirvana made it sound like their own, rather than an imitation.

Nirvanas' lesser known songs are what made them great. The 'Outcesticide' series is one of the most amazing nearly-unhead compilations from a popular band in history. D7, Immodium, Return of the Rat, Pay to Play (Yes, it's Stay Away with different lyrics, but also a much better performance than the studio version of SA), Here She Comes Now, Junkyard, Sappy/Verse-Chorus-Verse.. The amazing songs keep coming. Their B-sides and bootlegs blow away anything they did in the studio.
