Actually, I thought it was the best Nirvana cover I've ever heard (and I've heard quite a few). I've even done a cover of Polly (it's terrible, truly terrible).

i'm willing to bet yr's is much better than their's. the voice soundly like a cat dieing an did not much care for the music either.

I don't have Polly uploaded, but I bet you might dig my cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit recorded on a boom box played with a toy guitar. I believe it's up on my old purevolume page: http://www.purevolume.com/stevok

yeah, I did it to match the "Gothic" version from when they played on Top of the Pops. Kurt didn't like that he had to lipsynch, or that the band couldn't play, so they let him sing with it. He decided to parody Morrissey. Here's a vid on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erxt-lgZP2o

Liars also covered "Territorial Pissings", their cover is really great

I might listen to them sometime, but I probably wont. Nirvana covers never interest me.

but yeah,....dont usually dig cover songs...animal collective covering on a plain is pretty good though. they totally made it an "animal collective song". sorta like how kurt made other people's songs his songs.

hendrix could do it too.

Huh. I never liked Nirvana's version of "The Man Who Sold the World" because I thought it sounded way too much like the original. Pretty much felt the same way about "Lake of Fire". Their Vaselines covers sounded more like Nirvana than the Vaselines though, and I thought "Love Buzz" was an original for years.

if you're interested in a cover that sounds more like the band, listen to evanescence's cover of heart shaped box...
