Well, I really like Nirvana’s cover better but, that’s a SWEEET Meat Puppets tune: Plateau…..Coolness…..
Let’s stay in the same vein:
I’ve got a lot of thoughts
Got a lot of plans
I lost a lot of sleep

Staring into space
Underneath a thousand blankets

Then I realized the only reason it was published was so his deranged junkie widow could continue to suck every penny she possibly could from his fans to support her nasty junkie ass and her 5 grand a day drug habit.Sing it, sister!! Courtney will jump on any chance she has to cash in on Kurt’s success, ala Yoko.
And as far as the ethical side of this? Hey blame society, man. Dirty laundry SELLS!! Publishers are going to publish of what public wants for fear that if they don’t, someone else will- there was obvoiusly a demand for it.
And dying is the best move ANY musician can make for their career. It all turns into "what could have been" so, I’ve got to somewhat agree with Kockney’s take on this. Nirvana’s day in the sun was definately up and were even falling out of favor with the critics.
I, for one, flat out reject the theory that Nirvana single handedly brought alt-rock to the forefront. I could bearly watch that Nevemind DVD, all that Butch Vig gushing about how great Kurt was. The guy was pretty talented but, he fell into the classic "sophomore slump" after Nevermind (I don’t count Bleach as a contiguous work) and the result was the subpar In Utero. This happens constantly on the industry: A band spends the bulk of it’s time trying to hit it big with songs they’ve spent years polishing only to get that big deal and stink it up because of lack of creativity or the pressure from the execs to get a new album out on time.
For me, this is how you separate the goods for the greats; The Beatles put out an album EVERY FREAKING YEAR. So did Zepplin, Allman Bros, Pink Floyd, ect. Now, why do you think we no longer hear from "promising" bands after one good song or album? (Ahem, Limp Bizcut ) Either you got it or you don’t…….They went down to the river

Once in an interview they compared them to The Monkees and they got offended
Whaddya think of their other material? I’m really on the fence as to weather I should get anymore of their stuff or not, I’ve had Twice Removed and I can only get into a few songs but, those song are very worthy. I like to pop this in to "cool down" with some minimalist music after a good, long Beatles listen. Reminds me that music doesn’t necessarily have to have complex arrangements or high production values to be good.
And, now that you say it, I can hear some Monkees in there……Cheer up sleepy Gene…..Sloan- Worried Now

Why, that’s The Clash with The Magnificent Seven! Good one.
And hey, just ordered Mermaid Avenue (Billy Bragg/Wilco)! Literally, CAN NOT WAIT to get my hands on it….
This one’s a little older and ANOTHER one of my "top 50 all time":

Hint: This guy replaced Eric Clapton in the Bluesbreakers, he also wrote a song made famous by Santana…
…that should be Peter Green (also considering some recent posts in other topics), don’t know anything of his stuff (apart from some classic Fleetwood Mac instrumentals
), could Google it, but that spoils the fun….. 
He’s the man, top 20 all time in my opinion. Thanks for the "no Google" thing too, I enjoy the challenge.
Here’s a little newer one:
That pencil smell reminds me of school

Without a doubt. It’s not even close.
These guys aren’t even playing the same game as everybody else.
