Wow, I haven't listened to this one for ages, easily 10 years. Ageing very well!

Suicide only "benefits" the dead person. Doesn't that make it selfish?
My youngest brother shot himself 32 years ago at age 29.
None of his problems got resolved; none of his relationships healed; the professional accomplishments he'd achieved were effectively erased; and the people he left behind have dealt with guilt for years -- if not for the remainder of their own lives.
"What did I do wrong?" "What could I have done differently or better?" "How did my actions or inactions contribute to this?" "Why didn't he talk to me about his problems?"
All these years later, and no one has any answers. We never, ever will. I am left to wonder how bad was my brother's suffering, such that he decided to end his life rather live it. Makes me shudder.
Don't misunderstand me: I love my dead brother as dearly as I love my living brothers, but his suicide was solely for his benefit.
I'm sorry for the loss of your brother, but you clearly don't understand the mental place that can lead someone to suicide. As someone who's been all to close, it's a place of desperation, not selfishness. However you felt then or feel now, it wasn't about you.
On the other hand, if anyone is thinking about suicide, do or think whatever keeps you alive.

7.6 really guys!!! This song changed the world in its own way, and it rocks! For me 10 straight up. I don’t often disagree with the group.

And another thing...Killing yourself takes absolutely no talent at all, it's the biggest lie a person can tell themselves. Ray's music on the other hand was enhanced and made more magnificent not because he was blind but because he had plenty of reason, someone like Curt might think, to kill himself but was man enough to live on. And besides that he was a super talented person. Curt on the other hand is cut short and belittled himself and his generation by taking the cowards way out. I really hate Curt for doing that, but not his music; it's just sad he could be such a fool of a man.
This comment is getting a lot of stick, but as someone who's been suicidal most of my life, I agree. I have a lot of empathy for people who commited suicide and are suicidal, having been there (and currently being there)... it's a tragedy that people feel the need to kill themselves, but that doesn't change the fact that it's cowardly. People elevate those who commited suicide because they feel bad for them - and yeah, it's horrendously sad, but suicide isn't noble or arty or a great escape - it's cowardly and foolish. If I didn't believe that, I'd be dead already.

Pearl Jam are dung in comparison with Nirvana. Incesticide is greater than the entire Pearl Jam catalogue added together.
Worldwide Nirvana at number 38 with Nevermind. Pealr Jam at number 84 with Ten, behind such luminaries as The BackStreet Boys, Dido, The Spice Girls, James Blunt and Coldplay.

It's pretty crap really. Without the big hit, the charisma and the bandwagon it's arguable that Nirvana would've been a footnote. The same could be said for many bands I guess, but compare this to a contemporary artist such as pearl jam and it pales by comparison. In terms of craft the song is terrible. Lyrically it's interesting, technically less so. I was a Nirvana fan back In the day, but much of their output, in hindsight, isn't that good...

I can appreciate that this was powerful in its day. I also have sympathy with those who complain that they hear (fill in the blank) too much on the radio already. That's commercial radio. I listen to vanishingly little commercial radio, yet am growing infinitely weary of hearing this so very many times. I guess the mood required to enjoy this does not hit me all that often. Somewhat like some of Janis Joplin's singing, hearing someone seemingly shred his/her vocal chords, almost on a daily basis, begins to hurt. Some things are best appreciated in small and infrequent doses. OK, back to the proposal.

I love the playing in this song- a nice combination of light and heavy.
'I'm married. Buried' is also kinda prophetic..

LOL. Love "Community" btw, though I wonder how reduced it's going to be when it starts airing on Yahoo...
Some of Nirvana's songs still really work for me. But songs like this were tiresome back when they were new and this one hasn't improved with age.
Kurt definitely shook things up back in the early 90s. But I wonder if he'd been able to evolve like Dave Grohl has (and even then a lot of people hate Foo Fighters). If Kurt were still alive and putting out stuff like this, we'd definitely be sick of him. Does grunge have a place in the music scene today as something more than a nostalgia act? I don't know. You tell me.
A moot issue. I think he'd be dead or really messed up now if he hadn't killed himself. I think it was Krist Novoselic who said that Cobain had an addictive personality and would have ODed on coffee or something else.

No, I am in the USA, that is what I mean by here. Nirvana is hugely influential and recognized in the USA. Portishead? They get some respect, I would not say a whole lot though, and certainly nothing compared to Nirvana.

Nirvana’s fame was also based largely on attitude, no doubt about it. The quality of their music does not live up to their fame - I’ll agree (whose does?). But their music is of a lasting quality that will assure their reputation for a long time – hence, immortality.

Sinead O'Oconnor did an interesting (in a good way) cover of this tune.

The genius of Nirvana/Kurt is that they/he wrote wonderful melodies, ones that could be stripped out and arranged/played in any style of music, while pouring massive voice of a generation emotional power into their recordings and live performances. Like the best rock bands they synthesized all of their influences - they picked some of the best, from the Beatles, Bowie, Zeppelin to the Pixies and the best 80s hardcore and indy rock bands - into their own unique sound.

One of Kurt's finer compositions. The band were overrated in the end, but they did leave their musical mark.
TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRIBLY PRIMITIVE!!!
Radio Paradise is SO on a roll baby!!
Wish I was like you ... easily amused.
I proceed from shame.
Marry ... Bury.

If you are referring to his suicide, I want to say that after reading William Styron and David Foster Wallace, it is way more difficult for me to equate suicide with cowardice. I now tend to give suicides the benefit of the doubt on that one.
Peace.
Kurt Cobain was a coward.

I have always like Nirvana because of their melodic sensibilities. Lost in all the hype and drama is they had some really good melodies.

Agreed, never liked Nirvana. But now you have the PSD (Play Something Different) button for times like this.
Please the next song... Can't stand this noise.

Well said young'un. And as a Boomer who "has my music" these guys and their cohort coming on in the early 90's to beat the living crap out of the garbage Hair Bands that dominated mainstream radio made it safer to drive.
How? Because in the eighties, I always had to fiddle with the extreme left side of the dial to hear any decent new music.
Thanks gramps
the ironic thing is that before some of the so called grunge bands came along I was listening to Bob Dylan, Hendrix Pink Floyd and other artists from the 60s and 70s because the radio was overloaded with tripe. Nirvana was one of the first times I distinctly remember hearing something spawned from my generation and thinking, wow what's that? Whatever it is I want to hear more.

I can still remember hearing Nirvana's CD (tape?) for the first time - we were in the drive through McDonald's in Half Moon Bay on my way from San Francisco to Santa Cruz in a friend's compact car filled with people and skateboards and greasy french fries. Great time.
School-band level

I hear the unplugged version of this song so much that I've forgotten how the studio original is! Cool!

You have been trolled by the best sir!
I like Nirvana personally, but I think KCs sad death vaulted them into an arena that they really didn't merit based on their works alone. I don't think they were SO much better than Soundgarten or Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains or Stone Temple Pilots that they should get this Holier Than Thou treatment.
Adding tragedy to pop keeps it in the Tabloids but it doesn't make the music any better or the message any truer.
He was a good songwriter.

Your sound must be messed up. The list ahead of Cobain probably begins with Andre Young (Dr. Dre), unless by "generation" you meant seedy white guys on the West Coast.
Excellent trolling, nate917! Comparing a sound guy best known for shilling commercial products to the easily led with the tortured soul of a generation is sure to get some impassioned response.You have been trolled by the best sir!

I'm convinced Nirvana will go down as one of the most overrated bands in history. This is nothing, like most of their stuff.
