I appreciate songwriting over musicanship. Kurt Cobain could play a guitar, he just wasn't into pointless 5 minute guitar solos.

Again, the longest of those songs is 5 minutes. And all those are more well written songs than Cobains stuff.

"The Wind Cries Mary"

After all the jacks are in their boxes,
and the clowns have all gone to bed,
you can hear happiness staggering on down the street,
footprints dress in red.

And the wind whispers Mary.

A broom is drearily sweeping
up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping,
somewhere a King has no wife.

And the wind it cries Mary.

The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed,
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cos the life that they lived is dead.

And the wind screams Mary.

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past,
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."

And The Wind Cries Mary."

It's no "Rape Me" but not many can hold a candle to that

Rape me
Rape me, my friend
Rape me
Rape me again
I'm not the only one, Aaah
I'm not the only one, Aaah
I'm not the only one, Aaah
I'm not the only one, Aaah
Hate me
Do it and do it Again
Waste me
Rape me, my friend
I'm not the only one, Aaah
I'm not the only one, Aaah
I'm not the only one, Aaah
I'm not the only one, Aaah
My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
I Appreciate your concern
You're gonna stink and burn
Rape me
Rape me, my friend
Rape me
Rape me again
I'm not the only one, Aaah
I'm not the only one, Aaah
I'm not the only one, Aaah
I'm not the only one, Aaah
Rape me! (Rape me!)
Rape me! (Rape me!)
Rape me! (Rape me!)
Rape me! (Rape me!)
Rape me! (Rape me!)
Rape me! (Rape me!)
Rape me! (Rape me!)
Rape me! (Rape me!)
Rape me!

Didn't you say you preferred Stones over Beatles? If so, this doesn't work.
