It's a boring lunk-headed song, but by sheer virtue of its own mass it has achieved classic status.
And that's not entirely fair. Cobain's delivery is profoundly sincere in retrospect, if painfully naive.
I'll almost never "turn the dial" if it comes on.

so easy to sing along with, even though some of his lyrics are as unusual combinations as Beck's are.

You never heard Jimi's "hear my train a comin'" acoustic (album "blues") ????
It's superb 
Nevertheless, Nirvana, not my cup of tea...
And this is boring...

Yes, let's only have songs about how wonderful other people are. This whole 'singing about himself' thing is very off-putting. Why isn't he happy like me?

Great tune. Almost U2 / Bono-ish in the way pain, hurt and despair is expressed so well vocally. Kudos to any artist / group who dares to be so bold as to perform an acoustic session.

It was the music for the time. Historic! Musicianship and vocal prowess aside, love them.

There are always more talented musicians but they don't always make great music. The music has to have a soul. Nirvana, and Kurt in particular played with everything out there. They did it first and they did it best. |

Not really. Nirvana wiped out a whole shelf of late-80's bands like "Loverboy." They just sounded hollow in comparison, and lost their audience, and never got it back.
Even if Cobain and company hadn't done anything else, they would deserve our gratitude for bringing authenticity of emotion back into big time rock. |

Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street
Nirvana - All Apologies
Liz Phair - Table for One
Patty Griffin - Change
Rosanne Cash - Burn Down This Town
Current evidence would seem to indicate that Ms. Cash isn't actually part of this set....we'll see if Dylan comes up next or not... |

When a band can change the face of music forever... I believe that is what makes a great band. Nirvana did this and that cannot be disputed.
