Out of all the big popular hits, Total Eclipse of the Heart is clearly the best.

It actually is Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman.

>>68270203
Best relative to what? If you mean relative to the music of it's time, I think the Beatles. If you mean the best relative to music from all time periods, I think OK Computer and Definitely Maybe are better albums. Nothing on Kurt or Nirvana though, I love their music.

more than a feeling pop-punk cover?

>using traditional grip in a rock band
why?

Even Kurt would say The Beatles were better.

Well Kurt didn't particularly like the music he made.

Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies, I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

>>68270661
Kurt would say dogshit is better, hence why he blew his own head off bozo.

>>68270203
If you told Kurt Cobain that Smells Like Teen Spirit was better than all of the Beatles hits then he would laugh in your face. If your example of a Beatles hit was Yellow Submarine then you would be punched.

>>68270688
I'm not talking about what Kurt would say though.
I mean of all the huge pieces of music that will probably be remembered forever, it's up there.

>>68270719
It may be up there in terms of being remembered, but Kurt wrote better songs. A lot of people wrote better popular songs.

here's one

>>68270744
I agree that he wrote much better songs. That one is really good, too.
I just think it's interesting that when people think classical, they think Moonlight Sonata/the 9th, and in the future when they think 90s, they will probably come up with Smells Like Teen Spirit.

>>68270816
agreed

>>68270816
Nirvana is an "iconic band" only by the death of Kurt, that and the Mtv marketing.

>>68270896
2bh if Kurt didn't die I think they would still be pretty iconic. Even before he died they were approaching Beatles-tier fame.

>>68270896
We always get better when we die
The last rock and roll breathe, before the pussy bands, rock nevermore will be so raw

>>68270954
This, they could make some nice jams

>>68270744
Songs from the Big Chair is fucking lightning in a bottle.

>were approaching Beatles-tier fame.
hahaha. nirvana at his peak (1992/1993) were Rhcp-tier fame or even less, boy

Hollaback girl by Gwen Stefani is definitely the greatest popular song of all time
