Ah.

I agree that IN UTERO sounds the best, but songwise, I'd prefer INCESTICIDE or even NEVERMIND.

I wish NEVERMIND was completely recorded like "Territorial Pissings."

SonicBebs 09.18.2008 08:01 AM

i think i like Milk It or Very Ape best

Trasher02 09.18.2008 08:02 AM

The only song I really really dislike on in utero is Rape me but the rest is great. I miss the comfort in being saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

This Is Not Here 09.18.2008 08:02 AM

I have this album of white-vinyl LP, and it's one of my most loved records. However, that said Bleach and In Utero do probably win over the unplugged set, simply because they seem a little too tame on that recording. I don't really care for Incesticide very much.

atsonicpark 09.18.2008 08:02 AM

I really like Incesticide. It's uneven, obviously, but it has some of their best songs on it, like "Beeswax".

In a sense I think that if you have INCESTICIDE and UNPLUGGED then you've pretty much got a two-hour summary of Nirvana. Uneven? yes. But honest-- all over the place, influence-wise, but touching upon everything that they sound like -- be it , uh plugged or unplugged.

I've always loved Hairspray Queen.

I'm pretty sure I changed my user name to Hairspray Queen at some point? Perhaps I spelt it wrong of some shit and that's why I never used it.

Yes, I'm aware of that but it's more known as Where did you sleep at night than How do you sleep at night, which is, like melly said, totally different song.

EMMAh 09.18.2008 08:45 AM

When my dad sings it, it's always the black girl version.

different lyrics? Dn't know that version.

"In The Pines" is the best title.

EMMAh 09.18.2008 09:16 AM

Eh, I don't really know.

He just says black girl instead of my girl. My dad is an old drunk though, so who knows...

noisereductions 09.18.2008 09:29 AM

haha

radarmaker 09.18.2008 09:45 AM

A lot of the different versions featured slightly different lyrics, or completely different verses in some cases. Leadbelly originally recorded it as "Black Girl".

Some history on Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_The_Pines

noisereductions 09.18.2008 10:04 AM

The Leadbelly version I have is "In The Pines" on his record called GOODNIGHT IRENE.

Derek 09.18.2008 10:40 AM

Record is okay, loved it when I was younger!

Oh yeah, and Pagoda are hilarious...

noisereductions 09.18.2008 10:54 AM

I have that Pagoda album... I figured it was on Ecstatic Peace!, so it was worth a listen. I think I listened to it once.

Cantankerous 09.18.2008 12:46 PM

their version of where did you sleep last night is incredible

i like the DVD more than i like the album so probably it's my favourite album behind in utero and incesticide.

This Is Not Here 09.18.2008 12:54 PM

I like how barely anyones mentioned Nevermind on this thread. Is it just too obvious or what?
