Kurt Cobain died 21 years ago – so here are 21 of his best songs (with actual songs attached)

I love livenirvana.com sometimes. Many thanks to John George, and also Mattia Cuda, for filling in the blanks. I’ve altered a couple of suggestions to make it work.

1. That one most people know if they know more than one Nirvana song

2. That one that ‘changed the world’ (NOTE: ought to place this lower down the list)

3. Some obscure one from In Utero to show we know our stuff

4. Some even obscurer one from the ‘rarities’ box set to placate the hardcore fans

5. A single from Nevermind

6. That one he wrote about Courtney Love (allegedly)

7. An early single

8. That one they found a few years ago and pretended was a Nirvana song

9. That one from the new documentary (NOTE TO EDITOR: is that actually a song?) (EDITOR: who cares?)

10. That B-side everyone said could have been an A-side

11. That other B-side everyone else said could have been an A-side

12.That A-side that probably should have been a B-side

13. That one that sounds like the Pixies (Which one precisely? – Ed)

14. A noisy one from In Utero

15. The quiet one from Bleach

16. That one with the weird video

17. Another single, pref from Nevermind

18. The noisy one from Nevermind

19. The controversial one

20. Another single (I’m not sure they released that many – Ed)

20. OK then. That one they only performed live

21. Did he even write 21 songs?

etc

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
