See, this is one of the reasons I continue to claim overrated. A top 5 that includes 3 covers. Oh, and I would probably include those songs in my top 5 as well.


My favorite cover they did that night was the Vaseline's "Jesus Don't Want Me for a Sunbeam"... I think Kurt used that session to turn people on to, or share, some of his favorite songs, that most people would otherwise not know exist.. It was a wildly popular, singular moment in time...

In my opinion, that session in no way captured the essence of who the band really was through their first three records, though it may have been an indication of where they were heading... still a shame we'll never know!

I almost added that to my list. I love the intro...

Then you should probably start listening to the Meat Puppets, who are awesome. Heck, both Meat Puppets songs are from the same album.
Already was, and like both versions of each, really.

I never found any of the covers to be that good. I'm way more of a fan of their original material.
