I've been so oversaturated with all Nirvana songs on my radio that I can't stand the more popular ones, or even the ones you might not think are popular, but are still played too much in my area, like "Rape Me" or "Polly." The only two Nirvana songs I liked enough to download are "Hairspray Queen" and "Mr. Moustache," because they will never ever be played on the radio (hopefully).

[QUOTE=Scythe404] but there is no way anything off of Bleach overshadows anything off of In Utero, with the exception of "Dumb" or "Milk It," which are IU's inferior tracks.[/QUOTE] what are u on crack??!! :amaze: There is stuff on bleach that is WAY better than stuff on In utero...Ex: School, Floyd The barber, About a girl, downer... just to name a few. Bleach is by far the most underrated album by nirvana....It is the "punk" attitude which In Utero is based on...

Well that's just preference. I think IU and Bleach are very close albums in quality. I don't think one overtakes the other, however i like IU better because Kurt feels like he's giving more emotion and personality to the songs, which is the reason why i like Nirvana in the first place.

Plus, the drumming by Dave Grohl overtakes the weak style of Chad Channing, and the quality does show on IU as compared to Bleach. Like i said, i don't think either one is better in a general context, but when it comes to preference, in my eyes, IU Wins.

why do people consider a song to be brilliant and rate it a 8/10? don't you think a song which is considered brilliant a natual 10/10?

A great remix of Pennyroyal Tea and About A Girl score lower than You Know You're Right.. Give me a break. YKYR is just an unfinished demo that the company made a big fuss about to rejuvinate an interest in an aging band. They succeeded, but to consider it a "greatest hit" is pathetic. It's barely fit for Incesticide.

Good review.. I agree with most of the ratings.. except Pennyroyal Tea... I think I'd give it an 8 or a 9

I dont know how the reviewer can call You know you're right "Typical Nirvana". Its so much different from just about everything they wrote. Even Dave Grohl said the only reason he thought it was cool was because it was so much different.

Ya i dk. There are some other songs that would be better choices...
Like, there should be essential Nirvana; "About a Girl", "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Rape Me", "The Man who Sold the World"- these are all, IMO (dont cuss me out), typical Nirvana. I'm satisfied that these were on, but there are WAY better choices than most of the other tracks on the cd. So overall, I say DONT WASTE UR MONEY.

I'm sorry if you guys see this as a bad album or a way to make a quick buck, but many fans wanted this. This was a way to release You Know You're Right without making it into a cheesy single. They were fighting for years against Courtney Love to get the rights to do this, and when they finally do, they are not gonna stop just because some people think it's a waste. It may not be the best, but it's a compilation. I hate to say it but Nirvana had a few mainstream hits, and if that strikes with a lot of fans, they're going to do it. Because Music like many things, is a business.

NIRVANA - GREATEST HITS (2002)

YOU KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT
This song was not released on any other album, it was only played live. I love this song. The song is slow in the verses and then goes hard for the chorus. You can definantly tell it is a kurt Cobain song because of the loud shout of "Pain." Overall i give the song 8/10


ABOUT A GIRL
This is a good song, not one of my favorites, and if your looking for an easy song to play on guitar, this is one, i give it 7/10


BEEN A SON
I really like this song. it's a really catchy chourus and a really good song. And if you listen to the lyrics they actually have meaning. 8.5/10


SLIVER
This is a song that makes you want to get up and dance, its really catchy. It also has a story to it, yes it is a bit repetitive and short but it's still good. 8/10


SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT
Definantly Nirvanas anthem, and definantly one of the best songs of the 90's. I know it is abit overplayed, but if you dont think of the that, it is their best harder song. 10/10




COME AS YOU ARE
A very good song, and a good choice to follow up after smells like teens spirit, i like the bass intro part on it, but is is an awesome song 9/10

LITHIUM
I like this song, not my favorite, but i like the slow hard slow hard part of it and the guitarings good on the chorus. 8/10

IN BLOOM
I love this song, it is one of my favorite songs from nirvana and the guitaring and drumbing kick *** in this! An awesome song 10/10


HEART SHAPED BOX
Even though i like Harder songs, this song is excellent, i love it and it is definantly one of my fav's. 10/10


PENNYROYAL TEA
I also like this song alot, a bit repetitive, but it is really good. 8/10

RAPE ME
Definantly...Different lyrics, but nevertheless, it is really good and it isnt all about raping people for all the nervous moms out there. 9/10


DUMB
A really good acoustic song,a nd one of my favorites on unplugged. I can't choose beetween polly and new wave polly (the hard one). 8/10

ALL APOLOGIES
I like this song, its good, not alot to ay about it, its depresing but what do you excpect from nirvana! 8/10

THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD
THis is a great song, originally by david Bowie. Nirvanas is a better, but in my opinion, i think they shouldn't have used a cover song.

WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT?
I like this song, one of the best on unplugged, but IT IS NOT CALLED "MY GIRL" i cant get the song on the net without it being called that. anyways great song 8/10

Overall: I think the album kicked ***, and i give it 9/10

Best songs: Heart shaped box
Come as you are
Smells like teens spirit
In Bloom
Been a son


Other songs they should have put on: Something in the way
Breed
Anyuerism
Mollys lips
Jesus dont want me for a sumbeam

HMm...I really dislike "In Bloom". Except for the solo, I think it's one of Nirvana's worst songs. Been a son also shouldn't have been on there, meh.

Here's how I burned my "Nirvana" cd.

1. Radio Friendly Unit Shifter.

2. Sappy

3. Serve the Servants

4. Drain You

5. Come As You Are

6. Smells Like Teen Spirit

7. Heart-Shaped Box

8. About a Girl

9. Rape Me

10. Lithium

11. All Apologies

12. Man Who Sold The World

13. Where Did You Sleep Last Night

I think that selection is way better.

[QUOTE=bruise_pristine]There is really no point to this album, I hate best of CD's they serve no purpose. If you already have all the other Nirvana albums there is no real reason to buy this one, unless you wanna pay $15 for "You Know Your Right" which you could just download for free. This was a pathetic attempt to make a quick buck and is a total waste of money.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't call it a waste of money at all. Downloading songs for free is just like stealing, you want the songs, you buy them buddy!
