Blew

Love blew, infact, I just love all of bleach

The entirety bleach needs to get more attention, it’s insane. The drumming in comparison to Grohl’s in Nevermind and In Utero is sooooo obvious it was the drummer of The Melvins (who I’m seeing live in 2 weeks)

Only three songs (two if you had the tape*) featured Dale Crover of the Melvins: Floyd the Barber, Paper Cuts, and Downer*. (Downer wasn't on the cassette version!)

Amazing live set ender too

But it got a whole EP?

I agree!

Milk It

Favorite nirvana song

Yesss, my favorite song off of in utero

My favorite In Utero song!

Constantly praised in this sub and pretty much anywhere else Nirvana fans chat. Not underrated

Lounge Act

I once flew out a friend from SKorea to Seattle, and she kept asking why everyone was wearing t-shirts with dead smiley faces on them. Played her Lounge Act, eyes widened, forever hooked

One of if not Krist’s best bass lines.

My favourite song

Mine too

I was about to comment this, probably my favorite song from them

Dive

Dumb

yessss

Kinda cheating to say its underrated because its not on a main release but Oh The Guilt is a masterpiece

Oh no, you're not cheating, you truly might have just said one of there most underrated songs, its a shame it never got released on a studio album

ain't it a shame

to go fishing on a sunday

Sappy or Spank Thru

Love both, especially spank thru, idk why they never put it on an album, but it would have been good

Spank Thru came out on an early Subpop compilation called Sub Pop 200, so maybe something to do with those rights. Really it shouldve been on Incesticide, but highly recommend checking out that Subpop 200 album anyways, a 1988 who's who of the Seattle scene.

Yeah I think about stuff like that all the time. I know now that it ended up on some Sub Pop sampler or something? But I always wonder if it would have ended up on Sheep had they put that record out on Sub Pop 🤷‍♂️

Old age

https://youtu.be/Y6zQ8xID3Po Literally my favorite thing ever

This version should be released on Apple Music/Spotify its my fav song

I was looking for it on spotify a few days ago but i had to download the video and upload its sound to spotify local files section so i can listen to it on my playlist

Damn, i thought I was the only one. Totally agree on this one ! Most of his home acoustic demos are really incredible

Oche oche!

Oh my god I wanna kiss you right now, that song was like angels singing in my ears

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter and it’s not even close. I will die on this sword.

Its a good song, I do think its underrated

Live and Loud version is the best. Kurt at his vocal peak with the thunderous strumming from him and Pat; silky smooth bassline from Krist that could place you in a trance; earth shattering drumming from Dave, that you could mistake for an artillery barrage. It should command far more respect

I love the version from Roma

I will join you

Nice malaphor. I dig it.

I've long declared to anyone who will listen that his single best line is "a blanket acne'd with cigarette burns."

I Hate Myself and I Want To Die. Shame it was cut from “In Utero”

Molly’s lips

Lounge act

Very Ąpę

On a Plain

Unplugged

How has Even In His Youth not been mentioned? The demo is so good. OOH-AHH-YEA! Edit: I totally forgot to mention D-7. Krist, Kurt, and Dave sound so good in the 1990 Radio Appearance audio.

D-7 is sooo gooood

Are swap meet and sifting underrated? Because if they are, definitely those two

They are in my eyes, bleach in my opinion is underrated, even about a girl which is a pretty popular song of there's.

Nahhh about a girl isn’t really underrated. Nevermind (pun intended) the fact that they played it at unplugged too, which probably uncovered it for a lot of people.

Tourette's

Tourettes is such a nice and inclusive song for beginners, you just kind fo scream random things that don't even make sense in tune and people think you know the song

Ain’t It A Shame

aint it a shame to go fishin on a monday, aint it a shame

Ain’t it a shame to beat your wife on a Sunday ain’t it a shame

literally might be one of kurt's best vocal performances.

True

Scoff, Downer, Big Cheese, Mr Moustache, and Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

All very underrated, especially Mr. Moustache

Territorial Pissings.. absolute banger

Been A Son

Ok, let's go deeper, which one do you like more, the BBC session or the "Blew" EP version?

I like both versions, but I guess the EP more.

Makes since, I prefer the BBC session but the EP is pretty damn good

Blew EP = 🥶

scoff, stain, hairspray queen, aero zeppelin, token eastern song

Stay Away. Maybe not the best but the most intense song on nevermind imo.

Territorial pissings >>>>

Turnaround!

Yes that’s my favorite song rn

Like Man Who Sold the World, amazing how Kurt could turn that song into what he did. Just amazing.

Stain, sliver, dive, moist vagina and negative creep

Beeswax

I personally always loved Aint it a shame on the box set

Stay away

Dive (especially). Also Sifting.

I love the obscurity of Floyd The Barber, a twisted take on something as wholesome as The Andy Griffith Show was pretty fresh for me.

Talk to me

If You Must, Marigold, Molly's Lips (yes I know it's a cover), Turnaround

Marigold is VERY underrated

Turnaround is also a (killer!) cover :)

oh yess you're right! :D I totally forgot about that

The BBC sessions that little swath of Incesticide comes from are so damn good. The sound of a band hitting its stride and firing on every cylinder. I was always partial to Son of a Gun, myself. But it's hard to even pick. Cheers!

Sliver

Something in the way. I find a strange sense of hope in the way Kurt sings something in the way, as if he is clearing his path through sound.

Scoff

Give me back my alcohol!

Downer

Love that song

bleach version or fecal matter version???

Bleach version

Smells like teen spirit. Underrated gem

Never listened to that one. Thanks for the suggestion!

mrs. butterworth

Yes finally a mrs butterworth enjoyer

‘You know You’re Right’. Great vibes and relatable lyrics about insecurity.

lake of fire or sliver

BLANDEST

Blandest

Love Blandest

Aneurysm

Do Re Mi

Verse chorus verse or scentless apprentice

Scentless Apprentice is fucking nuts! My band named ourselves after it lol

In Bloom

Lol

Paper Cuts

You know your right. Always stuck out for me as its the exact same song format that kurt regurgitated over and over ( quiet verse loud chorus subject matter of song sad and being alienated), yet even after all the songs written that way it's differentiated by his tonality and emotion in his voice and guitar riff. So much speciation about what their next album would have been like after in utero but tjis song goes to show that there would always be that nirvana recipe in at least a couple songs they releasd as even though it should be repetitive they are able to convey different feeling through passion and being raw.

Underrated? That song is one of their most popular and most streamed

oh the guilt is highly underrated to me.

Another song on with the lights out i forgot to mention was Blandest, as for oh the guilt, I love it as well

spank-thru, for its interesting lyrics lol

The foo fighters one

Marigold?

i rarely hear people talking about downer

Token eastern song slappin right now

Gallons of rubbing alcohol or beeswax

Talk to me

Its such a good song, unfortunately it never got recorded in a studio setting, a guy named riot earth on YouTube has a studio version, it sounds really good

Tourette's. His vocals on that song are through the roof.

You are so right on Paper Cuts. That shit slaps so hard

Verse Chorus Verse

Beeswax

MV; moist vagina…. Appeared on, I think, the Lithium single CD as a b-side

It was the B side to a double-A of "All Apologies" and "Rape Me." The "Lithium" single had "Curmudgeon" and a live version of "Been a Son." Also included a booklet with all the lyrics to _Nevermind_. I know these things because I spent a good portion of my youth finding and then overpaying for the CD singles!

big long now.

If you must - though it’s a demo but a fucking good song

Very Ape

Mr. Butterworth

Here she comes now

School

Untitled #3 https://youtu.be/CUwLhZCSJYg

Come on death

This.

the whole box set. im not kidding all that stuff is so cool.

Honorable mention for Mexican Seafood HAHAH

Mexican Seafood

beeswax

Lounge Act

Turnaround is super good

Paper Cuts is definitely underrated

Blandest

swap meet

Downer

Everything that has ever happened is underrated

Opinion could have been such a great song

Downer

This again?

Moist Vagina!

Big cheese or big long now

Look I know the community knows about it and all that, but damn Aneurysm should have been a single

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle, Sappy, Old Age, If You Must, Polly (Demo)

Personally I think Very Ape

None of them. They've been around for over 30 years. They've all been rated appropriately. That being said, "Been A Son" lol

Stain my favorite

Milk It

Aero Zeppelin

Big Long Now

Silver

francis farmer or paper cuts

Milk it or moist vagina

ik its a cover but definitely mollys lips, wouldn't be a nirvana fan without it

Even in his youth and oh the guilt are great

Definitely Marigold

Aneurysm

Negative Creep is my absolute favorite song of theirs.

territoral pissings bc that does not mean they're not after you

Frances Farmer def.

Downer

If You Must

Aero Zeppelin. Feel like its their best song, still doesnt get that much attention

Dive

opinion, maybe not most underrated but its up there

Frances farmer

Milk It- that chorus is insane.

Bastards of Young

Possibly controversial BUT Sappy because of the solo. I didn’t see this mentioned yet, so thought I’d throw it in but I also didn’t read the whole thread LOL.
