Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
These lyrics makes me ecstatic. Nirvana fan for life..

'We can plant a house, We can build a tree'
Such great lyrics. Should definitely be in the top 10. The best song in nevermind alongside Drain You and Endless Nameless. R.I.P Kurt Cobain

But I can pretend
The sun is gone,
But I have a light
The day is done,
I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or Maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy"
There is a reason this was in the greatest hits album. Get this in the top 10 ASAP!

Goes along with anything just crank it up and rock.
Since I first listened to this song a year ago, it has been my all time favourite Nirvana song. Just so powerful, and grey! Come on over and do the twist...

Kurt Cobain made a difference to the music world. A big difference. RESPECT! <3
What I like about this song is that, although Kurt wrote it in a couple minutes, and only to "fill" the album, there's something about the rhythm and the lyrics that's somehow catchy.
Listen to sampleAmazing song with very good lyrics. 'To come back as fire to burn all the liars and leave a blanket of ash on the ground'. Just everything in this song sounds so perfect.R.I. P Kurt Cobain
Listen to sampleAlbum in utero is the true nirvana style.
Highly underrated, milk it is by far one of Nirvana's top songs. Powerful ass, high energy chorus which gives you that 'feel awesome' feeling. Should be way up there!
Listen to sampleMonkey see, monkey do (I don't know why)
I'd rather be dead than cool (I don't know whyy)
Every line ends in rhyme (I don't know whyy)
Less is more, love is blind (I don't know whyy)
Stayy
Stay awayy
Get this in the top 10 people!

SO PUNKY! Gr! When I WAS AN ALIEN!
Awesome song! >. Awesome when they played it on jonathon ross show in 1991. They were suppose to play lithium But didn't wanna!
This song is so awesome, heaps of energy.
it should be at least top 12
And why is Teen spirit at the top? Its not even that great,
most of Nevermind is better than it
Yeah, teen spirit is probably my favourite but if you've seen the video for this you'll know that it shows the TRUE nirvana!
DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL AIN'T A GIRL NO MORE!
many people don't know about this one, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM!

Listen to sampleBest Nirvana RIFF! Making it one of my favorites!
AMAZINGILY UNDERRATED!
I have their 3 albums and I can Honestly say this one is in my top 3.
So go hear it I PROMISE you'll love it.!
Such an awesome song.. Why is it, for God's sake, numer 31? It should be at least top ten. Especially the riff is really good and catchy. As said already, it is amazingly underrated.
MOST UNDERRATED NIRVANA SONG EVER! OPENING BASS LINES ARE SO CATCHY AND SO IS THE CHORUS. KURT'S VOICE IN IT IS REALLY GOOD. DEFINITELY ONE OF MY TOP 5 NIRVANA SONGS
Listen to sampleEternal demonstration of Nirvana's power and rough sounds. Underrated because of being a secret track, but it's really awesome.
When I saw them play this live, I knew music was what I wanted to do for my life
Listen to sampleYou must be kidding me! This song is one of the best songs I've ever heard! There are so many qualities, I can't even dare to pretend that I can list them all. The most obvious are: Kurt's incredible voice, great lyrics (the chorus sounds SO GOOD), and mind blowing guitar... just listen to it!
Listen to sampleOh my god this is the top song of nirvana..46th you guys kidding me.. Listen to this song man!... Then you'll know the truth of Kurt Cobain...
Listen to sampleThis Song > Smell like teen spirit, one of the bests song I've ever heard in my life, Nirvana ROCKS.
rubenescaray
This is one of their best songs! It should at least be in the top 20!
Listen to sampleHey this should be in the top ten at least man it explains seattle in it
School in 54th place. U mad or something? this is the third best song of Nirvana after Lithium and Come as you are (Smells like teen spirit is 4th :))
"If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to lose
If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
If you wouldn't mind I would like to breathe"
Come on dudes, this song rocks!
Spot than this.

Kurt said that paper cuts and smells like teen spirit are the two songs that describe nirvana. Definitely one of the best songs of nirvana!
Listen to sampleThis song is ironically funny. It may have had nothing to do with his daughter francis but the situation in general is funny, because those parents believe they are disgracing themselves and their family by the things they do. But in reality are just trying to express themselves and their parents can not except that cause they had to leave themselves behind because they never found ones true self.
Listen to sampleI'm astounded that this song is not on the list! The top ten list are all good songs, but I don't believe they are as profound or as moving as this one!

Well em not sure which 1 to vote all the songs in the list are songs that I just can't stop listening to
Nirvana forever man haven't heard anything as good as nirvana m/
Em gna vote em all
Great riff, and the only nirvana dong with a synthesizer. I don't know why this is so low, just listen and you will love it. It has a great beat to dance to.
Personally, this is not my favorite song on this list, but I am voting for this to restore balance. This is a fantastic song by Nirvana, and defiantly deserves to be higher on this list.
If you have not heard this song before, I defiantly recommend listening to it.
The lyrics, the drums, the voice... And above all, the guitar...
Kurt really shows his guitar skills on this one.
Can we show our faces now?
This is the hidden track on in utero. I don't much about it... But it is a pretty good song. ^_^ nirvana forever!
Listen to sampleThis and Old Age are so underatted! The lyrics to this song totally get me every time I hear it. I'm so glad I found this song because I know this will be played at my funeral
Listen to sampleThis is actually an excellent song. It is the paragon of grunge.
sickening pessimist
picketing masses
conservatist communist
apocalyptic bastards
The best punky depiction of Nirvana's early (most expressive) work
Listen to sample"Miss me" is supposedly an acoustic demo that Kurt did along with an "Old Age" demo. Although only being about a minute long, it is quite a haunting piece of work by Cobain. It is a very much unknown piece but in my opinion it is brilliant.
Your welcome for adding 30+ songs on this list(: Nirvana forever! R.I.P. kurt cobain. Some of my favorites are lounge act, drain you and you know your right.
