Great reaction, please also try 'Where did you sleep last night?' from the same MTV unplugged concert. It's an old song made popular by Leadbelly's 1944 recording. A true classic and Kurt does it full justice with all the pain and sorrow a man can put in his voice. PS The late, great David Bowie wrote 'The man who sold the world' and released it in 1970.

Polo, for the studio version, you'll have to hear David Bowie's version as Nirvana is covering that song. It's great, it's Bowie. The vibe of the song is there, but Nirvana gives it something extra special and poignant. This is Nirvana's prime version of the song. As someone once mused, "David Bowie was so ahead of his time he covered Nirvana's song 23 years before it happened." Great reactions, dude. Peace.

As a general introduction to Nirvana, you pretty much have to listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, In Bloom, Lithium, Stay Away, Something In The Way, All Apologies, Rape Me, and Heart-Shaped Box. As someone that grew up with rock, these are definitely some of the songs that built the foundation of my love for rock/metal as a young man. I’m sure many other people are in the same boat. I still love them just as much as I did in the 90s. There’s other great Nirvana songs of course, but all of these songs are absolute gold. Sorry, my list started off with just like 3 songs but there’s too many good ones to limit it to just three haha. Love your channel man!

In my humble opinion, the best song from this Mtv Unplugged session of Nirvana is "My Girl". The song is their take of an old blues song by Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter called "Where did you sleep last night". Kurt straight up murders the vocals on it. So much pain in his voice.

This was a very unique choice for your first look at Nirvana. Their usual sound was a lot louder than this, though they did have some slower tracks. David Bowie wrote and sang the song first. The unplugged show used to be on mtv in the 90’s and 2000’s before MTV got taken over by reality tv. Many groups and artists would do versions of their hits or some deep cuts or covers, which Nirvana did on their performance. When you check out Nirvana next, check out a studio track like Lithium, Come As You are or In Bloom. That will give you a real taste of their true sound of grunge in the 90’s.

I think Deftones "Passenger " would be a good jumping in point since it's got Maynard in it but 🤷♂️ Everyone is different. I would've never guessed Descending would be Polo's favorite track. It's awesome that it is, just wouldn't have guessed it. Looking forward to whatever he chooses to dig into next.

I love Nirvana. Their cover of In the Pines on unplugged is my personal favorite but they had so many good songs, Pennyroyal Tea, Lake of Fire, Smells like Teen Spirit... The list is long. Also I find it funny that you picked a rare song that doesn't include the very unique screaming that only Kurt could do. It's hard to describe the emotion that his voice carried when he would do that but it was powerful and it touched something deep inside your soul. Beautiful and tragic. Edit: I think the title for In the Pines may actually be Where did you Sleep Last Night. Also since you love story telling in songs may I recommend Carolina Drama by the Raconteurs? Good luck figuring out what happened

Great song - one of their best, in my opinion. As others have pointed out, this is a cover of a Bowie song, but it fits their style perfectly. That whole unplugged album is fire, BTW (which should surprise nobody because virtually everything MTV Unplugged touched turned to gold, like some sort of musical Midas). Check out “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” from that same performance... just be prepared to be blown away. If you want a track that really typifies Nirvana, then my money is on "Come as You Are." P.S. Nirvana is a grunge band, since you asked; Grunge is a type of alt rock that blew up in the early 90s, largely thanks to Nirvana, which is considered one of the big 4 Grunge bands coming out of the Seattle rock scene. The others are Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Sound Garden. These bands are pretty diverse sonically, seeing as Grunge was more of an aesthetic than a particular sound, but they all have something in common: each one was lead by a phenomenally talented lead singer. Four "once in a generation" type voices, all contemporaries - the early 90s was an incredible time for music.
