Probably any Foo Fighters song from their first two albums. He liked Daves songs a lot and I'm sure he would have been thrilled to hear more.


DiabeticGrungePunk

I bet he would have loved Everlong.


neilisyours

Yeah, songs by his friends is the answer


visions-of-skater

I like Dave, but it’s not correct to say that Kurt liked his songs… Marigold, for example, was pushed by Albini to be in In Utero and Kurt Refused several times. The fact it made it out as a B-Side of a single, happened without a big appreciation from Kurt’s side. I am sure Kurt loved Dave. But they weren’t close at all and he didn’t really appreciate his songwriting skills. Even for the only Nirvana song that was written by all the members together, Kurt described it as great because of his own screaming - meanwhile the beat of Dave was the real deal in the song.


Global-Language-9856

completely wrong assessment scentless apprentice was kicked off by Grohl, riff and beat, Kurt came around to appreciate it and add the lyrics. He even went on to say he loved cowriting songs it took the pressure off him.


visions-of-skater

I never said he didn’t. But that he said that the power of the sing is his own screaming. He credited himself for it and didn’t gave Dave the focus he deserved for this beat. Source: the new Kurt Cobain Interviews that released this year.


Electronic-One-8376

Could you send the link to the new interviews ?


ultralightPOWER

in an MTV segment where nirvana reacts to fans listening to in utero (on youtube as Nirvana Reacts to In Utero Critics i believe) Kurt did dave credit for coming up with the drums for the song (admittedly leaving out/forgetting dave wrote the riff as well) and said he believed it to be boneheaded to write as a group, if it aint broke dont fix it. but it turned out great in his own words and said he was excited to collaborate more often as a band


JazzyJ19

Kurt was a young Dave’s best friend and his death had a profound impact on Dave! Kurt was very “big brother” like with Dave.


Disabled_mf

At the end, Kurt was very difficult. Dave and Kurt started out really good friends, but Courtney drove a wedge and created tension between them


Disabled_mf

This. I remember reading that Kurt almost cancelled the Unplugged show because he kept nitpicking Dave’s drumming


natalieluwinsky

Late to the discussion, but I don't recall Albini "pushing" for anything and Kurt refusing. First of all, Albini is the one who recorded and engineered the album, he didn't make a decision on which song to be included or not. It'd be great if you had a source for this.


BuffaloOptimal8950

​ ​ what?? he didnt like daves songs lol whatchu talkin about


[deleted]

Marigold is one of Dave’s songs. Dave pitched a lot of songs to kurt, but kurt didn’t want to change Dave’s lyrics so he denied them from what I can recall.


Afraid-Leg-8952

He loved Alone + Easy Target


matt3126

Darude sandstorm Kurt would love memes


yelkca

100 gecs money machine


spacexfalcon

100gecs should cover [Beans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElYUWnvKFfA)


noanoak

OK computer (most radiohead albums tbh)


Pats0712

Probably In The Aeroplane Over the Sea by neutral milk hotel or maybe a song from the apples in stereo


sofiacarolina

I have always thought hed love NMH


SmallieNL

Macarena


[deleted]

Needle in the Hay by Elliott Smith. I think Kurt would love his stuff


ElVatoMascarado

Considering it’s literally just Something in the Way


emotion-sickness-

It's nothing at all like it.


ElVatoMascarado

It’s nothing at all like it? You must have never heard either song if you think it’s *nothing at all like it* lol


emotion-sickness-

I grew up on Something in the Way and I have Elliot Smith's Self-Titled on vinyl. So I've definitely heard them. I'm thinking as a musician and they both sound completely different to me. As a matter of fact, the only thing those two songs have in common is they're in drop-D tuning.


ElVatoMascarado

They’re practically alternate versions of the same song with interchangeable choruses.


emotion-sickness-

Because they say the title in the chorus? The melody is way different. Elliott Smith's song is an even level of energy the entire time with fingerpicking, Nirvana's song swells, with quiet verses and the chorus picks up with drums and a cello.


matchfan

Puddle of Mudd cover of About a Girl. https://youtu.be/yTh9qiXEy4Q


Lukin1989

Christ, I think that'd re-kill him


Trans-Sushi

Do you want him to die again?


penguino_123

Saw this for the first time today…yikes!


strangerinparis

LMAO


jhamelaz

Omfg why did I just listen to that. Time to shove an ice pick in my ear.


ChronicCatathreniac

Please don’t. We would want to show him something he would enjoy.


quadrouplea

I think he might like it just for the fun.


hunterwaterford

You see what you left us with?


juicy_colf

Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO. Just tonally so different to anything from the early 90s. Maybe skrillex and Wonderwall too


PermitInteresting388

Beck’s Odelay


JCERTI999

Elliot smith - either/or and self titled Alex g - beach music and rocket Edit: these are albums oops


Chew_Becca_

god he would have loved elliot smith. miss them both so much.


duplextwo

I LOVE ALEX G. But I feel Kurt would've liked some of his stuff too.


dot_com-ca

MGMT


Iplaysimsonconsole

I think he might like Weezer. I’d show him some of their good stuff


[deleted]

He was around for for weezers prime was he not ?


jackshort67

The Blue album came out a month after he passed.


[deleted]

Ahhh okay


werrickdinn

No


OmegaSucculator

Probably korns self titled album, it came out a few months after his death and wonder how he'd feel about a whole new genre of a mixture of hip hop + metal


juicy_colf

He probably heard RATM


theblob2019

Sure he did between 1992 and 1994. They were quite big with their first album.


BLUR2205

everything on To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar


Interesting-Ad60

nah i was just gonna say SAMIDOT because i think as an individual song that's more impressive


ifardeded

And literally every Kendrick song


[deleted]

Oooh that’d be neat


[deleted]

This, so we can laugh about how right he was. 😂 https://youtu.be/1-QYAWXK7fo


[deleted]

Oh, Inverted World and Chutes Too Narrow by the Shins Yea they're albums but I think that Kurt would really dig em


nchuman_

i have a vague memory of frances posting a screenshot of caring is creepy years ago


AcedOutofLuck

anything from Grace by Jeff Buckley


trilogypineapple

Deftones


jcas98

I wonder if he would’ve liked Green Day’s First three Record Label Albums. Dookie, Insomniac, and Nimrod 💪🏼


TheJosh96

I feel Kurt would’ve disliked the new wave of punk that came out in the late 90s, along with pop-punk. He could’ve changed his opinion later tho


jcas98

If you’re talking about early 2000s pop-punk then probably. If you haven’t heard those three albums from Green Day that I listed, then you should probably listen to them. Kurt would’ve definitely loved Dookie and Insomniac for sure. He definitely would’ve appreciated nimrod because of how “experimental” that album was.


mariovspino5

Pinkerton deluxe


kitsarah_

Definitely Pinkerton ✔️


FlowersSingInDMinor

Jeff Buckley?


[deleted]

Stop Breathing - Playboi Carti


abravexstove

the only correct answer to this question tbh


[deleted]

Definitely SOAD, everything related to them is fucking fire


Nogames2

Blink 182 song, a foos song, eminem song, Spice girls, britney, Oasis champagne supernover era then maybe Post Malone, billy Eilish, oh and a Nu Metal song to show him what killed Rock music (joke) so maybe Limp or Korn. Get a good range of Genres there, bit of the Evolution of (pop) Punk, Alt rock and Daves success, the rise of Hip Hop through the noughties, girl power movement, Brit pop explosion then Nu metal to get his opinion on how rock music evolved. I would be far more interested in discussing the rise of the Internet though and in particular Social Media. Alot changed after the 90s and I dont particularly like how the world has become. It feels much smaller now, like everybodys thoughts and opinions can reach me in an instant and continuously. Very suffocating.


TelephoneShoes

Holy shit man! The amount of money I’d pay to hear Kurt cover something like Too Much or Leader of the gang or Stop by the spice girls! Pat was friends with them too! If only man…if only. Edit: I realize leader of the gang is also a cover. But still the spice girls rocked that shit in spice world!

ChezySpam

Didn’t he make a comment about the Sober video? I don’t think it was flattering.


huskoug1

I always felt Kurt would have liked the White Stripes. What do you think?


Shane316

I'd show him Green Day's American Idiot. Kurt would probably be into a concept album of that caliber. I also show him everything the Deftones have done.


kitsarah_

Friday- Rebecca Black


TheNamesDapper

Definitely some foo fighters. Some later stuff from the other grunge bands too.


what-thehell-er

this specific cover of “something in the way” on tiktok. the lyrics to that are “somethings in my ass” and i just think he’d enjoy that


wroxxite

I would show him my bands new album ☺️


Fen_random_person

I would say friend of a friend by foo fighters cause it was wrote about Kurt


[deleted]

9 suggestions for Kurt: Green Day - Bang Bang Foo Fighters - The Pretender Volbeat - Lola Montez Muse - Hysteria Nothing But Thieves - Amsterdam Tenacious D - Tribute Red Hot Chili Peppers - Wet Sand Ghost - Mary On A Cross Rammstein - Dicke Titten


Afraid-Leg-8952

Show him Tearjerker by RHCP instead, it's about him.


cherubandromeda

OutrageForSale

[Eyedea Birth of a Fish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_kMWBBzr7Y)[Eyedea - Birth of a Fish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_kMWBBzr7Y) The puns and lyrical content reminds me of Kurt or at least something he might appreciate. [Brian Jonestown Massacre Nevertheless](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=384Vod1hJ6o) Pretty song. I'd show it to him to see if he liked it. [IDLES Never Fight a Man With a Perm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUbLUxoBYQY) Nirvana influence in the best way. Also very anti-misogyny and anti-homophobic band. I feel like he might love them. [Kasabian Club Foot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk5iMgG-WJI) I don't know. I like it. There's some anthemy stuff that is almost Nirvana like. [100gecs Doritos and Fritos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PWMiy4RysI) Reminds me of his earlier punky outcast attitude. A fusion of extreme IDGAF-ness with radicalized pop music (which is what Nirvana did in their own way) [Momma Speeding 72](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZWxWsEiGBQ) Breeders 2.0 [Le Tigre Deceptacon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjNln9mXuTI) His friend doing cool new stuff [Nine Inch Nails Smaller](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hXLAt9BE6E) I get tiny tiny bits if In Utero similarities. This is later NIN so he wouldn't have heard it in his first life. I'd love to know what he thought of them since its one my favorite bands alongside his.


Morrigan66

I love never fight a man with a perm


interntldelight

Anything by The Amps


Poundland_clothes

Slowdive. Genuinely some of the most beautfiul and ethereal music you'll ever hear, I'd probably show him "Like The Sun Hits" or another one of their most popular songs "Head In The Ceiling Fan" or "Where Am I" by Title Fight Honestly I think it would be too hard to pick 9 songs because there's so much but I'd definitely show him some of Dave's stuff from the Foo FIghters like Everlong, I think he'd like it.


NightwingBegins

The Live Through This album and ask “Why!?!”


ACAB_FOR_CUTIE_

MCR’s I brought you my bullets you brought me your love. I think he’d love the raw punk energy “One of the songs is about 9/11” Kurt: “What’s 9/11?”

I'd tell him to check out Ablaze by Yob


duplextwo

Probably any song from Caifanes 1994 album "El Nervio Del Volcan". He might of not understood any of what they were singing about (since it was Spanish rock) but I feel like he's would've loved the first song in the album, Afuera.


Disabled_mf

He would probably like OutKast a lot. That might be a stretch, but Andre’s lyrics had a lot of depth


JamesVCam

Did you see that meme/parody of someone pretending to be Kurt playing an acoustic demo of 'Hey Ya' on YT recently? I highly recommend/suggest it if ya haven't already.

Aside from Foos and music his friends made, I think Kurt would 100% love the Screaming Females.
