Milk It and Very Ape are excellent. The worst track on In Utero is clearly and deliberately Radio Friendly Unit Shifter.
But even that rocks, so whatever. |

Said the only person ever who doesn’t like fucking MILK IT Ridiculous Plus, RFUS kicks ass and I said so. It just happens to be the worst/least amazing track. EDIT: Ok, maybe RFUS is better than Very Ape. Very Ape has really good lyrics though. |

Okay, I'm describing essentially their whole discography. But still, the quiet parts of the song suck shit. And what the hell does 'doll steak test meat' mean? Quote:
(EDIT: All this argument is achieving is making me really want to listen to In Utero again. So, mission accomplished?)

American Flag, the first song on Cat Powers' Moonpix album
it was the first CP album I bought, thinking it would still have Steve on drums. Still love the album, but I still always skip this song, even though while listening to it just now I realize it ain't that bad oh and I used to think that Mick Turner was the worst guitarist on earth. Took me years to get into Dirty Three.

Milk It isn't as bad as I remember.
I should listen to you more, Sev

Slow down, sugar! There were a lot of us standing up for Milk It. As if you're commenting on the "doll steak/test meat" line given how many of his lyrics have been ambiguous as hell.

Wouldn't say hate, exactly. But the first time I listened to Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) I really didn't like Up The Hill Backwards and I could never really warm up to it. Don't mind it too much these days but I still think it's the worst on the album. Fripp's guitar is still excellent on that track though.

You don’t like Tourette’s or Milk It? But you like Radio Friendly Unit Shifter? First of all, that makes no goddamn sense because they’re all great. Secondly, if you don’t appreciate how awesome it was that Nirvana was able to bring those tracks onto #1, multi-platinum mainstream rock record, you’re missing some bigger picture stuff. I don’t give half a fuck if Tourette’s was pulled out of Kurt’s ass, it rains unholy hell on the listener and fucking kicks bloody ass. I’m concerned that you seem to think prep-time is required for good music. Ever heard an improvisational jam from the band this very forum is devoted to? Great stuff can come from absolutely nowhere, and it doesn’t make it less great. |

Well, yes... but to be fair, it’s probably one of the most consistently cited favorite Nirvana deep cuts among Sonic Youth fans. |

I saw this comment on the Youtube vid for Milk It and just thought it was fucking great. Maybe it's just me though...

I was blessed enough to see Nirvana on this tour when I was 15. I was living outside of OKC at the time about 2 hours away, so my dad had to drive us to the show. Their opening "music" when the lights went out was the pitchbending feedback intro of RFUS on loop. Then they came on and busted right into the song. Honestly, I could not really even consider a more perfect opening. This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. And while it may not be the best recorded, it fucking blew the doors off as a show opener. You actually can see it on the Live and Loud DVD, but the feedback loop was much shorter on that (likely because it was being recorded I suppose). I still feel like people are trolling... ![]() |

I 100% agree with Peterpuff. I can only imagine how awesome it would be to be greeted by that thumping chorus.

Yeah, I love all the songs, and RFUS rules. You’re lucky. I attended a Nirvana performance when I was like 10, but I was too young to remember much. I usually don’t even tell people about it when I list concert experiences, because I don’t have a solid memory of the experience beyond being excited and my cousins and dad smoking weed around me. I feel like a fraud when I tell people I know that I “saw” Nirvana, so I normally don’t. ![]() |

One guy I know on Twitter once told me a story about how he had to give up mid-1991 Nirvana tickets so he could do something with his girlfriend.

I think that is why I always feel the need to throw in the part about my dad driving us 2 hours to see the show. I am forever grateful, and will always feel lucky about that. Quote:

He did later see them at the Reading Festival, but still, missing the opportunity for a pre-fame club show?
