The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time
From Sinatra to SZA, from R&B to salsa to alt-rock
BY ROLLING STONE
36. Kurt Cobain
Kurt Cobain’s voice was a sound at war with itself: often harsh to the point of being grotesque but resolutely melodic even at its ugliest. It’s a blend born out of his diverse vocal influences, from the twee sing-song of the Vaselines’ Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee to the wounded snarl of the Wipers’ Greg Sage. The result was a voice that could find the hooks buried within the caustic noise-metal of “School” or “Breed,” and expose the razor blade at the center of the grunge-pop apple on “Drain You” or “In Bloom.” “For me, it was always the voice that blew me away,” Deer Tick’s John McCauley, who has covered Nirvana with the band’s surviving members, told Rolling Stone. “I’d heard people with gravelly voices, but Kurt’s was different. It’s not a pretty voice; he was not a trained singer by any means. But it gave me hope.” —H.S.

Part of what made their "MTV Unplugged" special is that they didn't do any prior hit songs and it is bittersweet to watch because of Kurt's tragic death a few months later.

Oh I didn’t know that

That is really sad

Nirvana did a bunch of cover songs which concerned MTV at the time but, it worked out and this was time when a musical artist/band really didn't just go on MTV and sing their hit songs which was different than what we saw most of the time. They did a great David Bowie cover.

Most musical artists who were on MTV Unplugged just did their hits and there weren't a bunch of cover songs done like Nirvana chose to do.

The 10 most overqualified musicians in classic rock bands
Dave Grohl – Nirvana
Growing up in Seattle, Nirvana started off as a much different outfit than what they became. Instead of radio-friendly singles like ‘Come As You Are’, Kurt Cobain’s initial vision was more of a dissonant punk outfit, with ‘Paper Cuts’ a good indicator of their original sound. However, they always needed someone behind the kit, and one day, they were sent a miracle transplant from the DC hardcore scene.

Although Cobain’s songwriting was the most valuable asset to Nirvana in the early days, Dave Grohl’s way of interpreting those songs was the glue that held every one of their classics together. Coming from the same school as every other punk rock drummer, Grohl’s intensity on every one of these songs is half the battle, having a more human feel behind the kit than what you would see out of the rest of the Seattle area.

Grohl wasn’t all about intensity from back to front, always knowing when to serve the song just right, either laying back on a song like ‘Something in the Way’ or beating the life out of his drum set on songs like ‘Territorial Pissings’ or ‘Scentless Apprentice’. Grohl might not have seen himself as a frontman while he was in Nirvana, but his drum tracks are as essential to the songwriting as anything Cobain did. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ may be a masterpiece, but nothing comes alive until you hear those opening jolts from Grohl’s kit.
