I just don't understand all this vitriol against Unplugged. If you look at the bootlegs and "lost" recordings its clear that Kurt had been playing acoustic music since 1986! Its clear that he had intentions to possibly release acoustic music through Nirvana or solo after 1993. Its clear that the acoustic guitar was part of how he created and practiced music. In other words, it wasn't "selling out" at all, if anything, quite the opposite, it seems to me that perhaps Kurt seized the opportunity to do what he had been wanting to do for a long time, present his music acoustically to a wider audience. Plus, it was a radical departure from what people "expected" of Nirvana, and considering how much Kurt was starting to resent how the mainstream explosion of his music was attracting "fans" who were the kind of people his music was written to mock (jocks, hipsters, boneheads, honkies), it also seems that perhaps he did Unplugged to intentionally disappoint these people and shake them off the bandwagon. Clearly looking at how much you guys are shitting on it, I dare say it worked

Also, rob, ALL of Nirvana is boring. You either like it or you don't.
