Nirvana covered two of their tracks for that Unplugged album.

I definitely buy the Singles argument - how many great bands did that soundtrack introduce us all to?

Weezer- "Blue" album. For my money, it doesn't get any better than "the sea is foaming like a thousand pound keg."<BR/><BR/>4.Sunny Day Real Estate-"Diary"<BR/>I'm sorry that they spawned a bunch of whiny emo imitators that suck, but damnit, this album is so melodic and poetic.<BR/> <BR/>5. "Singles" Soundtrack. I know it's not an album, it's a soundtrack, but I grew up in the grunge era and to me this embodies the movement. And the music kicks serious ass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
