Suicide only "benefits" the dead person. Doesn't that make it selfish?
My youngest brother shot himself 32 years ago at age 29.
None of his problems got resolved; none of his relationships healed; the professional accomplishments he'd achieved were effectively erased; and the people he left behind have dealt with guilt for years -- if not for the remainder of their own lives.
"What did I do wrong?" "What could I have done differently or better?" "How did my actions or inactions contribute to this?" "Why didn't he talk to me about his problems?"
All these years later, and no one has any answers. We never, ever will. I am left to wonder how bad was my brother's suffering, such that he decided to end his life rather live it. Makes me shudder.
Don't misunderstand me: I love my dead brother as dearly as I love my living brothers, but his suicide was solely for his benefit.
I'm sorry for the loss of your brother, but you clearly don't understand the mental place that can lead someone to suicide. As someone who's been all to close, it's a place of desperation, not selfishness. However you felt then or feel now, it wasn't about you.
On the other hand, if anyone is thinking about suicide, do or think whatever keeps you alive.

And another thing...Killing yourself takes absolutely no talent at all, it's the biggest lie a person can tell themselves. Ray's music on the other hand was enhanced and made more magnificent not because he was blind but because he had plenty of reason, someone like Curt might think, to kill himself but was man enough to live on. And besides that he was a super talented person. Curt on the other hand is cut short and belittled himself and his generation by taking the cowards way out. I really hate Curt for doing that, but not his music; it's just sad he could be such a fool of a man.
This comment is getting a lot of stick, but as someone who's been suicidal most of my life, I agree. I have a lot of empathy for people who commited suicide and are suicidal, having been there (and currently being there)... it's a tragedy that people feel the need to kill themselves, but that doesn't change the fact that it's cowardly. People elevate those who commited suicide because they feel bad for them - and yeah, it's horrendously sad, but suicide isn't noble or arty or a great escape - it's cowardly and foolish. If I didn't believe that, I'd be dead already.

What an utterly disgraceful, closed-minded, uninformed comment.
Unsure why, but that guitar riff makes me giggle.
Love the song though - better than the 7.5 score it has, for sure!
Great tune!! Giggle? Too funny! Great guitar riff!! What the heck, "giggle" is good! If it works for you, it works for me! ...Giggle on!!

Hmmm, so you think this song is about fish?
crappie:
|ˈkräpē, ˈkrapē| noun (plural crappies) a North American freshwater fish of the sunfish family, the male of which builds a nest and guards the eggs and young.
I have to say that every time I hear ANY Nirvana song, I just love, love, love it again over and over. I miss you guys so much. Dear Kurt I hope you have found peace.
(Special thanks to Dave Grohl for being one of the kindest + talented musicians of our generation!)
And his drum kit is gigantic here.
What a pity I can't go below Sucko-barfo...
I think you just did.

Going in the opposite direction, sadly. You can have the rest of my joy for this one.
I like Pearl Jam but they're too middle of the road.
yep
Pearl Jam are dung in comparison with Nirvana. Incesticide is greater than the entire Pearl Jam catalogue added together.
Worldwide Nirvana at number 38 with Nevermind. Pealr Jam at number 84 with Ten, behind such luminaries as The BackStreet Boys, Dido, The Spice Girls, James Blunt and Coldplay.

It was this song, Unplugged, that made me a fan. Something about that performance resonated - deeply.
wtf?
'I'm married. Buried' is also kinda prophetic..
Portishead is just down the M5 a bit from my house. In my M5.
Noice. E28, E34, E39, E60 or F10?

LOL. Love "Community" btw, though I wonder how reduced it's going to be when it starts airing on Yahoo...
Some of Nirvana's songs still really work for me. But songs like this were tiresome back when they were new and this one hasn't improved with age.
Kurt definitely shook things up back in the early 90s. But I wonder if he'd been able to evolve like Dave Grohl has (and even then a lot of people hate Foo Fighters). If Kurt were still alive and putting out stuff like this, we'd definitely be sick of him. Does grunge have a place in the music scene today as something more than a nostalgia act? I don't know. You tell me.
A moot issue. I think he'd be dead or really messed up now if he hadn't killed himself. I think it was Krist Novoselic who said that Cobain had an addictive personality and would have ODed on coffee or something else.
Really? Nirvana has quite a following here. The kind of following everyone in entertainment envies. Few people even know who Portishead is.

No, I am in the USA, that is what I mean by here. Nirvana is hugely influential and recognized in the USA. Portishead? They get some respect, I would not say a whole lot though, and certainly nothing compared to Nirvana.

When you think about it, Nirvana achieved immortality from 2 albums basically. No other band has done this.

Bill's following this with Al Green's "Tired of Being Alone"...so, so much better.
Fully agree.
Right... it was EVOLUTIONARY. A synthesis of just about every aspect & kind of rock'n'roll up to that point - played brilliantly by a three piece band. Wow.
Why?
I guess that person has something against bowlegged gypsy muleskinners...
love this song... we be dancing...

Why?

The Sex Pistols were highly influential, I’ll agree, but only for an attitude. Other than perhaps a few Clash songs, “punk” music is nothing but a tiny, insignificant blip in the history of music which will soon be forgotten, if it hasn’t already. I know many people thought there was something important about punk music. I never did. I am talking about quality art here.
Nirvana’s fame was also based largely on attitude, no doubt about it. The quality of their music does not live up to their fame - I’ll agree (whose does?). But their music is of a lasting quality that will assure their reputation for a long time – hence, immortality.
Everybody in my church loves this song...

Commenting about any group being overplayed on RP is a great way to lose credibility.

Seriously?
The Sex Pistols did it with one.

C'mon, what about The Cuff Links?
How many times have you climbed up on stage in front of thousands of people to pour your heart out?
Maybe it's harder than it looks.

If you are referring to his life, I have no comment.
If you are referring to his suicide, I want to say that after reading William Styron and David Foster Wallace, it is way more difficult for me to equate suicide with cowardice. I now tend to give suicides the benefit of the doubt on that one.
Peace.
May be, but he wrote great songs
yes and the rockin distorted hook always satisfies
Agreed, never liked Nirvana. But now you have the PSD (Play Something Different) button for times like this.
Well said young'un. And as a Boomer who "has my music" these guys and their cohort coming on in the early 90's to beat the living crap out of the garbage Hair Bands that dominated mainstream radio made it safer to drive.
How? Because in the eighties, I always had to fiddle with the extreme left side of the dial to hear any decent new music.
Thanks gramps the ironic thing is that before some of the so called grunge bands came along I was listening to Bob Dylan, Hendrix Pink Floyd and other artists from the 60s and 70s because the radio was overloaded with tripe. Nirvana was one of the first times I distinctly remember hearing something spawned from my generation and thinking, wow what's that? Whatever it is I want to hear more.
I couldn't agree more (with someone I often disagree with). I could imagine their melodies even as (good) elevator music. The man just wrote fantasic songs.
Whatever happpened to these guys?
Do ya think they lost their head once they hit fame?
Q Do you know what was the last thing to go through KC's mind ?
A His teeth.
Must be a Kurt thing ...
Ditto, both are great versions
You have been trolled by the best sir!
I like Nirvana personally, but I think KCs sad death vaulted them into an arena that they really didn't merit based on their works alone. I don't think they were SO much better than Soundgarten or Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains or Stone Temple Pilots that they should get this Holier Than Thou treatment.
Adding tragedy to pop keeps it in the Tabloids but it doesn't make the music any better or the message any truer.
He was a good songwriter.

is this a thinly veiled pun about KC shooting himself in the head or are you really
OK, I'm not biting.
