What is the best Nirvana song?

Answers to this question are subject to opinion, however, the most popular song by Nirvana was "Smells Like Teen Spirit", off of their Nevermind album. (Which was their second official release). But this album was not Kurt Cobain's favorite album, so Smells Like Teen Spirit was probably not his favorite song.Other opinions:Drain You; it was Kurty's favourite to play live. The best way to figure out a band's best song is to ask the band themselves.LithiumActually, The best song is "Smells Like Teen Spirit". After all, It was the # 1 song of the 90's!If you actually compare all the nirvana songs Come as you are is their best all around, teen spirit was the single that got them their fame but when it comes to the songs themselves C.A.Y.A. is the best!You can't really know what's the best Nirvana song. But it is NOT Smells like Teen Spirit. If you want to really know Nirvana,You have to get all their albums,Including the Unplugged, Nirvana didn't want that fame that Smells like teen spirit got them. They liked being underground. Cause they were touring even before Nevermind. People liked them. They made music and people liked it, But at that time (1989) They weren't famousWell, I love many of their songs especially rape me and drain you but i wouldn't know what song you like many ppl think a different song is coolI love all of their songs all of them have been my favorite at one point lithium. come as you are, Polly dumb, very ape, you know your right, in bloom, smells like teen spirit, heart shaped box, and rape me are some that come to mind at the moment.I'm probably the only one who thinks this, but i think drain you or lounge act, both from nevermind, is their best song.Almost every nirvana song is one of the best of all time in my opinion, but i would have to say either sappy, marigold (YES THIS IS AN ORIGINAL NIRVANA SONG, NOT FOO FIGHTERS), or aero zeppelinIn my opinion i think Lounge Act by far becaues it got Kurt with a good vooice them him witha shouting vioce and everthing about that song is good!!!* Mine is probably Lake of Fire or All Apologies. I also really love Come as You Are (which is a bit stereotypical but...oh well.) It's hard to pick just one.

What might stop someone from achieving nirvana?

One reason might be that a soul about to enter nirvana can deliberately hold back from attaining it. This way, in the form of a bhodisattva, the soul might help others to attain nirvana, and wait for all other sentient beings to enter nirvana before doing it her or himself.
