Top 10 Reasons Why "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Isn't the Best Nirvana Song

I RESPECT ALL OPINIONS THOUGH! And I love this song.

The Top Ten

1 For most people, it's the only Nirvana song they had heard

Put a music channel on for songs of 90s "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the only one they play. Stupid music channels use more genres.

The people who wear Nirvana T Shirts always say that SLTS is their Favorite song because it's the only one they ever heard

Nirvana had a true musical talent, which showed more in other songs.

2 It's overplayed

Very true but not really that good of a reason since other songs that are great can also be overplayed

3 Kurt actually didn't like it himself

When a Member of the band hates his own song you know there's going to be a problem just like how Plant hates Stairway to Heaven

That's kinda sad, a musician not liking a song he made? Saddening

Yep. He didn't. He said that it didn't come from the heart.

4 It overshadows other Nirvana songs

Come As You Are is better but Smells Like Teen Spirit it's a great anthem for teenagers.

True! Now because of that song, it makes other Nirvana songs look like underrated.

5 Kurt plays the guitar a lot better in other songs

6 Sometimes that's the only reason why people buy the album Nevermind

I'm guilty of that. But now I realise Smells Like Teen Spirit is just an OK song. Nothing more.

7 Kurt had sang better in a lot of other songs

I think we should all acknowledge that the notes Kurt sings in the chorus are higher than what Bruce Dickinson sings on The Trooper.

This is basically the 4th listing

8 You can't really hear Krist's bass

9 It's usually the first thing that pops up on the Nirvana radio on iTunes

When ever you hear the Name Nirvana this song always is the first to pop up

10 It just sounds like a normal Nirvana song they recorded

Yup sounds the same as many of the songs on Nevermind

The Contenders

11 Heart Shaped Box is better

This is their real best song

12 It sounds like a song about farts

What? Are you basing it off th title of the song

13 It has a poor guitar solo

This guitar solo is very easy to play which shows how Kurt wasn't that great of a guitarist and yet people call him the greatest? When Chad Kroger from Nickelback can actually play better solos

14 It's a ripoff of the Pixies

15 Come as You Are is Better
