I think he had quite good taste.

I can't imagine him listening to Public Enemy. I know that he probably did, but can you really picture it? It's difficult.

why not? Public Enemy is the shit.

I know, but I just can't picture this little blonde grunge man pacing around next to his turntable to 'Prophets Of Rage' or something. It's just two separate worlds colliding and I can't imagine it. Haha I can't even explain this now without sounding stupid so NEVERMIND

The Shaggs are the greatest band. Everything else I either haven't heard or think is meh, but the Shaggs are the greatest band.

Pod at #3 sounds a bit silly though

kurt like pussy soft shit too.

he was sensitive.

Negative points for "Meet the Beatles" instead of "With the Beatles"

its pretty good.

i've actually been listening to my Nirvana CDs today and I forgot how great they were. Milk It and Radio Friendly Unit Shifter rule so much.

It lacks some mesborws

All of the Wipers' records look way too low considering how much Nirvana was influenced by them, but it is Kurt's list.

Another thing that always makes me go, "Huh...." when reading this, is the fact that the only REM record on here is Green. I can't imagine that being Kurt's favorite. He seems more like a Life's Rich Pageant kind of guy....

~Jeremy~

No Hüsker Dü?!!
I've heard Thurston saying that Nirvana ripp them off.

I remember reading once that Trout Mask Replica was one of his favorites but it's not on here. At least he had Yip/Jump Music. Very Kurt.

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping

Protector of the kennel
Ecto-plasma, Ecto-skeletal
Obituary every birthday
Your scent is still here in my place of recovery!

I don't know why exactly but those are some of my favorite lyrics ever.

Yeah I know haha. They are great.

I'm picky...
