so its kurt cobain's would be birthday today. Probably one of the most understood song writers of the time. His songs at first glance may of just sounded gibbrtish, but there was always an underlining message to his songs.

Happy Birthday Kurt Donald Cobain, we still think about you and miss you.

All too true. Even if you go back to things like Pen Chap Chew and If You Must - early stuff tossed off when they had some spare time in the studio during their first main recording sesion - there's just so much going on there..World of music would have been much poorer without them. What's your top Nirvana song Hayley - and indeed anyone else in this thread who ants to recognise the great one?

Bloody good choice. That was almost left off Bleach because they were worried it was 'too advanced'! What a cock-up that would have been... The Unplugged in New York version is even more stunning...

Although an above-par guitarist, I thought he was an over-rated musician, with mediocre lyrical skills.

well, you are entilted to your own oppinion even though its totally inaccurate. quite alot of the foo fighters songs were actually written by nirvana or atleast started by them. They haen't been many lyrasist over the years who can make a song at first sound gibberish but at closer inspection is actually quite deep and meaningful, which makes kurt a great lyrasist.

By and large, a stunning lyricist! In Utero for example. On here we've got him comparing his plight to that of 30s Seattle actresses, his marriage being a 'magnet tar pit trap', finally being able to openly convey his frustration at his upbring in Serve The Servants. There's some heavy stuff there, brilliantly conveyed

You're having a laugh, aren't you? The Foo Fighters? PMSL

Give us an example of this wonderful lyrical genius that Cobain had then?

Fact: Alone + Easy Target and Exhausted from the the first Foo Fighters album was worked on 'as' Nirvana in late 93. This Is A Call had been knocking around from early 91, just after Grohl joined..

All written by Grohl, coincidently. Nirvana may have worked on them, but Grohl was the man behind them, and was quite productive alongside being in Nirvana.

Kurt was great, but could have been even better if not for scores of personal problems. As it was, if he had lived he, and Nirvana, would have just petered out.

He was still a great songwriter and his voice was perfect for the songs.

R.I.P. Kurt.

Of course, as was the case with Marigold - which did emerge on a Nirvana release (the b-side of Heart-Shaped Box.) All Dave's own work writing-wise - had been knocking about since the 1990 Pocketwatch demos and pretty nifty it was too. Other than Greg Dulli popping in for some extra guitar on X-Static, he did the LOT on the first Foo Fighters record.

Anyway...
