You clearly have never dealt with anyone with mental illness or experience the kind of crushing depression that brings people to that point.  It isn't always about strength or weakness, sometimes it's about the friends and loved ones you have around you that help keep you sane.

Though it should be noted that respect and enjoying someone's music have absolutely nothing to do with one another IMO. I like lots of musicians music that I do not neccesarily respect and vice versa.

I have never liked Nirvana.  It doesn't mean I don't appreciate Cobain's angst and the band's struggles, and how they raised the bar on grunge music - it just isn't my cup of absynthe.

If you have not heard the rock version of this song, it is worth a listen.

Great song from a great performance!

1. Melody - the majority of his songs can be stripped of their accompaniment and played as straight up incredibly catc
hy hummable tunes
2. Lyrics - Deep insight into human experience - albeit generally about pain and suffering but insight nonetheless
3. Musicianship - Cobain was a gifted guitarist and drummer who let his guitar serve the song and finally found a worthy drum-mate in the great David Grohl
4. Combined the best traditions of the blues, folk, pop, rock, punk and metal vocalizing.  Brought true emotion to the songs.

Yup, Polly Jean Harvey - good catch.

I agree...

 

I guess the segue from PJ Harvey is that P = Polly? ;-)

This is my favourite rendition of Polly.  I love it.

Love it...

The guy wrote some excellent songs. Just about everything he did has merit. Agreed it's youthful drug addicted angst, but whatever. He had a gift that rarely emerges decade to decade.

Yeah, but who really WANTS Kurt's old shoes. Dude was homeless at one point, and dressed like it. I think I'd like something a little nicer.

You know... I used to be the biggest of nirvana fans in the 90's I liked every song of theirs.

It's amazing how I have almost no interest in listening to any of it now a days :)

It must have just struck a chord with me when I was young and grungy.
