Re: Covers Poll #2 (Nirvana)
probably not the 'coolest' choice in the nerd sense but Bowie's song is just too classic

It's #2 for me after Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam. I like the Vaselines original too. I'd have no idea who they were if not for Nirvana.drizzle wrote:probably not the 'coolest' choice in the nerd sense but Bowie's song is just too classic

Great poll. Nothing comes close to Where Did You Sleep Last Night though, let's be real here.

That or the Bowie cover will end up taking this poll.Tommy Bunz wrote:Great poll. Nothing comes close to Where Did You Sleep Last Night though, let's be real here.
I'd say that the second best version after the MTV Unplugged performance is from a guest appearance Kurt did at a Mudhoney show in 1992. He loses his mind towards the end.
Where Did You Sleep Last Night? (Valencia 9-26-92)

The third best version is probably the acoustic demo from 1989.

They didn't perform it anywhere near enough in concert. I'm only counting five live versions in my covers folder, and I'm pretty sure that I have just about every Nirvana show in circulation (courtesy of Zomb Torrents).

Word. Remember when this forum voted Pearl Jam over Nirvana in a best band poll?Roy Johnson wrote:Yeah, good call. I don't think I've heard a Nirvana song that I don't like.sleazy_j wrote:no love for this?
Surely a low point in the 's history.
Roy do you have Nirvana stuff that hasn't been officially released?

They have 630 Nirvana torrents listed. Every show that's currently in circulation should be there.
Demos, outtakes, alternate versions, etc are scattered all over the place, so if there's something you've been looking for, let me know.

Re: Covers Poll #2 (Nirvana)
Damn, how'd I miss this thread the first time around? Fwiw, plateau and lake of fire would be in the top 5 of the songs listed
