hey, you can't discount the significance of that one. it's what introduced me (and most others) to them. It was favourite song, Nirvana or not, for a very long time.

Blandest from the With The Lights Out box set. This should have been on one of their studio albums.

My most played Nirvana song is their cover of "Oh Me"

Most played original..

Stay Away


If I had to answer that question without a most played list in front of me I wouldn't know what to choose. Just like PJ...

It was so hard cause radio friendly unit shifter is like right there with it. Those are two of the best Nirvana tracks. Man, I listen to both those two songs alone religiously. Nirvana had a great catalog.
In terms of fave albums by Nirvana it's Bleach for me. Great great album love that raw punkish sound to it. The songs are catchy as hell.
