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.
- Lithium
- Actually, 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 famous
- Well, 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 cool
- I 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 zeppelin
- In 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.
There are three ways (Bodhis) which you can reach Nirwana. Those are Sammā-Sambodhi(Lord Buddha), Pacceka-Bodhi and Savaka-Bhodhi(Arahath).
The easiest way to get enlightenment (or reach Nirwana) is the Savaka-Bhodhi.
Those who obtained the enlightenment by following teachings of the Samma-Sambuddha are obtained enlightenment through Savaka-Bhodhi. They have to do concentrated meditation (Bhavana) to develop Samadhi (Samatha meditation). Then with developed mind they have to think about three marks of existence (Samsara) which is Anicca, Dukkha and Anatta. (Vipassanā meditation). Doing this with big effort they will understand Four Noble Truths clearly. So they will attain Nirvana (get enlightenment).
If you have cultivated enough virtues connected with Bodhi (bodhipaksa dharma) you can reach Nirwana in this life because still not exceeded 5000years range from the Gautama Lord Buddha's enlightenment.
First thing you have to do is believe the supreme state of Lord Buddha(infinite intelligence, infinite power, infinite kindness, ..) and existence of Karma. Then follow Noble Eightfold Path, Study Dharma and do Mediation (Vipassana). You will be reaching Nirwana definitely with permanent happy and without any more sufferings in sad Samsara(infinite cycle of rebirth).
Who did Kurt Cobain grow up with?
Kurt Cobain's family influenced him in a number of ways.
One I know of is that Kurt's parents divorced when Kurt was the age of 9 and I know it ruined him for the rest of his life and most of the anger he felt from that was out into his songs which he put on records and sold millions of copies too.
Also while reading 'Heavier than Heaven' I saw that a few of Kurt's Family members also attempted/comitted suicide.
From a very early age Kurt said he was going to
'Become a big rockstar like Jimi Hendrix and kill himself'
The effects of suicide in a family can be very influenced on the choices you make as you grow older..
I also know Frances and Courtney influenced him in a massive way.. For the love he felt for them two was more than anyone could ever imagine. And to me that is the biggest influence... Love.
Which songs were written by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana?
I know of a couple covers they did.
Seasons in the Sun (?)
The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie)
The Money Will Roll Right In (I think this is by Mudhoney)
D-7 (The Wipers)
Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Leadbelly)
Oh, Me; Lake of Fire; and Plateau (The Meat Puppets)
Molly's Lips (The Vaselines)
Love Buzz (Shocking Blue)
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but there have gotta be others. Listen to the CDs! You'll figure it out.
Peace.

Why did kurk coban kill himself?
I'm a psychiatrist, Ive read his suicide note and looked into his rough and rather depressing history. Kurt loved doing what he did, and he knew that he was rich, he loved his fans. He always would thank them, he knew he was special and was grateful that everyone loved him, but he was not interested in music anymore. He had no satisfaction in his career anymore.
"It doesnt affect me in the way in which it did for Freddy Mercury, who seemed to love and relish the adoration from the crowd." -Kurt Cobain
He felt the guilt that words couldn't imagine. He was reentering rehab after a horrible drug addiction, and had lots of stress on his shoulders. He loved his wife and child, but his hate grew towards humanity, due to the fact the only the people who have empathy get along.
Kurt Cobain didnt have the passion to do what he loved anymore, he didnt feel the excitement. He stated that it was the one real thing he was good at, and he didnt want to do it anymore.
He felt horrible for the people who loved him and wanted him to continue writing music, and killed himself so he wouldn't have to live through the agony of letting everyone who ever loved him down.
*I don't have a professional answer, but I do consider myself a devote fan. There were several factors. One that a lot of people tend to overlook is his constant stomach pains (which wasn't a major role, but was a role nonetheless.) Another was, in fact, Courtney Love. Many people don't believe this, but I do. She was bad for him, not only in the drug aspect but in that she would push him toward more fame (and in turn more... making his music"fit in" to get more money). He wanted a divorce before he died but she never let him leave. The main factor, I believe, was fame itself and the huge way it effected his whole world and thinking process. His whole life was about being different, and now he was the normal...he was the popular. That doesn't seem like any sort of reasonable cause for suicide to most people, but he felt VERY strongly about this. A mental state, really.
