    Not even close....Smells is easily the Grunge-era 'pop' song. There's nothing better about SLTS, Jeremy beats it on almost every level, except maybe being overrated.

    At least the Jeremy lyrics make sense, and are sung slightly more intelligibly.

    You think the Slayer tour is out, or what?

    No we don't.

    I voted for SLTS. Now if it was up against about 50 other PJ songs, that's another matter.

    jeremy is equally overrated... i would vote for SLTS if i had to choose... but id rather not vote since its a stupid challenge to begin with and both bands have MUCH better songs that deserve more airtime

    It's just a fun challenge on a stupid radio show....not saying which song is better, jesus, sometimes fans can be a little too anal about some of this stuff. It's not rocket science, or breaking down the importance/complexity of each song, it's just to see PJ win a little challenge on a stupid radio show.

    BTW, we're down! 1Hr to go!

    You seem to be making a bigger deal out of this than us. I just took offense to idea that every PJ fan must think Smells Like Teen Spirit is overrated. If anything I think Jeremy is overrated. I love one song and kinda like the other, so I picked the song I love. That's all.

    step back, be a fan of neither, then evaluate the impact of each on modern rock music.

    Put it against Alive and that's another matter. And, btw, the lyrics to Teen Spirit are brilliant. Using a song to satirize the audience mindlessly singing along with it. I love Jeremy, but it's not even top 2 most popular/well-known on Ten.

    Oh come on, Jeremy has SO much more to say than Teen Spirit.
    Stand back and look at the two songs, lyrically/musically/thematically, and forget about what the 1 million sheep thought back in 91 and probably still today, and commonsense should tell you that Jeremy is the better SONG.

    Thank you. If not for the novelty of not understanding what Kurt was singing, would people still even care? Hip-hop hooray!! Smells Like Teen Spirit helped kill butt-rock. A genre that was already dying anyway...

    How can Jeremy's lyrics be sung more intelligently if you understood the lyrics to it but not SLTS?

    Just asking, not arguing. ;)

    ... and my vote would have gone to SLTS too.

    I said "intelligible", not "intelligently". There's a difference.

    Intelligible means "capable of being understood; clear to the mind".
