Smells like teen spirit called best song of past 25 years

[NEON MERCURY]

UMMMMMM...vh1 ever heard STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN--i know it is played out but when i think of the" all-time greatest song", nirvana is the last thing to come to my mind

I think it was released before 1978.

..... .........man i should have read carefully the subject- i did not notice the "PAST 25 YEARS" part..the quick re-action was caused by the fact i canot stand nirvana- and they stole "pretty much" all the thunder from the real Seattle band from that era PEARL JAM....i mean come on........how is THAT song the best in the past 25 years

I agree that "Teen Spirit," while great, is not the best song of the past 25 years.

But Nirvana were possibly the only really interesting band from Seattle's "grunge" scene that made it big. They were the only one I really liked, anyways. Mudhoney were okay, I guess. I cannot abide anything about Pearl Jam. To me, they're the antithesis of what nineties music was, and it was so spectacular in so many ways. They're dull, dull, dull.

I liked Hole better than either band. And I always preferred the Olympia stuff, myself.

By the way, I live here now, and the Seattle music scene is SO DEAD. Portland is where it's at. Sleater-Kinney, Dandy Warhols, etc. So much more interesting than the embers of the anti-artifice, subpar-pop Seattle thing.
