I doubt that the "Best Of" CD of the grunge band Nirvana really covers all of their hits, greatest songs and fan favorites. Therefore, I have decided to make a CD track-listing containing 30 songs myself. There is an A Side for the major hits and greatest songs, and a B Side for the fantastic songs that were pretty much ignored. 15 songs on each side. And by the way I didn't include covers. Just to let you know.
So tell me what you think. However, as I always say, this is OPINION, and opinions are not to be criticized. So any constructive criticism is welcome, and so are compliments. So, please enjoy.
Nirvana Kurt Cobain (1967 - 1994) - Lead Vocals, Guitars Krist Novoselic - Bass Guitars Dave Grohl - Drums, Back Vocals
Disc A
1. You Know You're Right
I totally agree on this one. Starting off with something previously unreleased but as valuable as this was definitely the best choice.
2. About A Girl
The only Bleach representative on the real one, and I must include this.
3. Come As You Are
One that truly deserves to be in the real CD. Brilliant song.
4. In Bloom
This song captures Nirvana's style very well. You can not leave it out.
5. Smells Like Teen Spirit
Not much explanation needed here really. A fantastic song that has everything, if you think about it neutrally.
6. Lithium
Not really one of my personal favorites, but I guess it needs to be on the A side.
7. On A Plain
Definitely missed out on the real one. I can not believe they left this one out. Unbelievable.
8. Drain You
I can seriously not believe Drain You was not included in the real CD. A great song, I love the interlude.
9. Sliver
This is another great song. There is a whole story inside it, and this must go on the A Side.
10. Aneurysm
What is a Greatest Songs CD without the band's best song? Aneurysm has everything. Aneurysm captures Nirvana's style, Kurt Cobain's lyrics and the band's music overall in a brilliant 5 minutes.
11. Polly
I mean, if a song is released like 4 times, how could you not have it on their ultimate CD? Polly is a song with deep meaning, and it deserves its place here.
12. Heart-Shaped Box
A brilliant song, unforgettable. Maybe very different from other songs, but this has got to be on here.
13. Pennyroyal Tea
An excellent song also played on their Unplugged concert. This song was also chosen for the real CD, and deservedly.
14. Rape Me
Interesting song. I think this is one of the ultimate grunge songs as well, with the lyrics, the guitar playing, the drums and bass, the vocals, the music.....
15. All Apologies
I would have to say this is the best way to wrap up the CD, with a very grunge-style song. Fantastic lyrics, and a truly remarkable outro.
So, opinions and comments are always welcome. No criticism on opinion, apart from constructive criticism that actually helps. So, thanks for taking a look, and bye for now.
