Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

Now and again I still get chills when hearing the opening crunch of this song.

Let’s all kick Monday right in the face before it even gets a chance to do the same to us.

Nirvana - Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle

To me, this song is the highlight of In Utero.  It exemplifies everything that I found great about the band: the quiet verse/loud chorus dynamic, Kurt’s wild voice (I just love the way he sings “comferrrrrrrt” here), and Dave absolutely annihilating the drums.  It also shines a spotlight on Albini’s wide-open production.  Listening to this makes me feel like I’m right there in the room with the band.
