Which Was Kurt Cobain's Best Album?

[Sandia]

I like Nevermind best.

 

[Amaterasu]

In Utero....... Nevermind running a close second........ i mean they were all good....... right?

Nevermind is well-known as maybe the most influential album of the 90's.

But as for his best album, I went with "Other", because the Unplugged in New York CD is quite a display of talent. There are pretty much zero bands anywhere near that genre that could scale down that much and still sound decent. They lost the distortion, lost the grunge altogether, and sounded even better.

 

[Saint Peter]

Hey man, nice shot.

 

[Sandia]

Shot?

[Sillyman]

I vote Nevermind. But hes right you left off Unplugged, but I forgive you.

To all the ladies: I give you permission to RAPE ME.

 

[Sandia]

70/30, I'm guessing you haven't met Mz yet.

Mz, meet 70/30.

<grin>

Everyone heard alot of great Nirvana music..but most people never heard Kurts greatest.

It's sad really.. he was an amazing person/musician.

I remember when I thought kurt cobains suicide would be one of the defining moments of my generation. Sigh...I wish I could have that type of innocence back some days

It was a couple years ago...I'm looking to update it with something good...I'm scared to because I look a little bit different these days...I don't want everyone to laugh at me.

My friends and I just sat around and cried. We were convinced there was no way it was suicide.

I will never forget that day.. nor the phone call from his cousin.

Well put. We've had our scale of 'defining moments' radically shifted in the last year.

My friends and I sat around and laughed for hours. Maybe it was the way we found out. Maybe it was because after trying to off himself several other times and failing he finally got it right. Or maybe because we could not stand his fucking whiny-ass, mr. sensitve bullshit negativity. Who knows? It was a defining moment of my life because I don't think I ever, and I do mean EVER laughed so hard before or since. I hate to burst the bubble but he was a fair musician, lousy singer, but a pretty good songwriter. I feel bad for all the people who worship him more than anything. I feel bad for the kid who's now got no father and stuck with an idiot for a mother.

And you knew him how? Through books, magazines, tv shows and gossip you heard from people who didn't know him?

He was a very special person in my life.. and until you prove to me that you knew the same Kurt I knew.. then shut the fuck up about something you know nothing about.

Sorry, I happen to know plenty. I'm sick of people kissing his ass. I will not shut the fuck up. I've heard over and over from people who were fans about how great he was. I checked out some of his stuff. Dull, boring, sounded like shit, bad vocals. He was a one trick poney at best, got lucky with teen spirit, but that's it. I'm a musician, I hang with musicians, he didn't have all that much. You don't like it or what I have to say? Tough.

You're not bursting my bubble. You're entitled to your opinion. I saw him several times live and I thought he was very talented. Who the hell said anything about worshiping?

Ok fair enough. Could be just the people that I happened to see at the time were, I guess you could call them zealots, were very much the worshipping type. All I heard for, it seemed like ages, was how great he was and how everything that came before him sucked. To be honest, these people were not musicians or even had the slightest deisre to be so. My band actaully got booed on stage at our high school talent show for daring to play stuff more complex. We started out with "Yours is No Disgrace" by Yes, then played a Yardbirds song called "Mr. You're a Better Man than I", did Zeppelin's "Going to California", and finished up with "Train Kept a Rollin". But all the people wanted to hear was the Kurt Cobain type stuff, which for us to say the least was boring.

Hmmm....
over there <<<<<<<<, it says you are from PA. Is that right?
I think that people who actually knew and grew up around Nirvana and Kurt and their music had a little different understanding of it. But that's just my thoughts on the matter.
I don't think the stuff that came before sucked. I don't think the stuff that came after sucked. But I do think that they did some important things for their type of music.

That very well could be. In fact it would not surprise me in the least. Music after all is a very personal thing to people. I'll not claim myself as a fan, hater and loather is more accurate. The other Seattle bands weren't too bad. I do happen to miss soundgarden. And I think that the way I was introduced to Kurt's music was not so great. MY best friend played me "Teen Spirit" and then went on a, I swear to god, 3 hour bender about how great Nirvana was and how everything was gonna change and how all this "other musc", as he called the stuff ruling the charts at the time, was now irrelevant. My compadre' then said nobody would be listening to even the stuff I liked, which was hardly on the charts........long story short I told him to burn the tape he was playing and don't ever mention the losers band of songs again.
