September 4, 201014 yr Author Nirvana: 10 One of the best songs of the 90s The Polyphonic Spree: 8 Well, it's almost sacrilege to cover Nirvana, but I just love the juxtaposition of this song with The Polyphonic Spree, and all the energy that bursts from their performances. They're such a fun band, and this song totally goes off live if you ever get the chance to see them Original x 4 Cover x 1
September 4, 201014 yr Original - 10. Nirvana. Cover - 5. I give them props for originality, and I have to admit, it's really not horrible, but... Original x 5
September 5, 201014 yr Nirvana- 10. amazing song, amazing band,amazing everything.The Polyphonic Spree- 6. His voice isn't raw enough for the song.Original x 5
September 5, 201014 yr o.g. song -- 8cover -- 7the Spree Spring from a 90's band i loved far more than Nirvana, Tripping Daisy.they are godly, imo.but the cover is merely disposable good fun while the original is obviously...well obvious.o.g. 4cover 1
September 5, 201014 yr Nirvana: 10Polyphonic Spree: 7The cover was a lot better than I expected, a pat on the collective back for trying to do something different with the song. The original however, was (and still is) one of my favourites of all time.Original x4Cover x1
September 5, 201014 yr Original: 10Easily one of the best songs by NirvanaCover: 3Well, they do something different with the song, and the results aren't bad... But in general the version lacks the anger of the original, which I think it's an important element of the song.Nirvana x5
September 5, 201014 yr Original - 10 Cover - 1 DIAF!! blasphemous asshats! Absolutely dreadful! ^ waste of sperm and egg imho.... how do you even have the balls to one day say "Hey, I think I'm going to fuck with a classic".. Certain groups & songs should never be touched.
