Every song on Nevermind is overrated (Except Come As You Are, that one will always be a classic), period. In Utero is MUCH better.
You have to remember that we just got out of the 80's. Kurt had an idea in mind, but to make it appeal to a crowd that was used to blazing fast guitar solos and ten-minute-long songs about fast cars and hot girls, he had to do certain things to his music.
For example, he plays the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" solo almost entirely on one string, which involves large jumps from one end of the guitar to the other. It's really not that hard either way, but he does it to make himself look like an awesome guitarist, simply because people at the time wouldn't have accepted a guitar player who wasn't blazing fast. |

I say leave them where they lay. If coolio is not popular anymore, that means the public does not enjoy his music anymore, and should just resign himself to that fact, just like any other singer/celebrity. Me personally i loved Gangsta's paradise. And the Weird Al parody of it.
About Teenage spirit, it was probably the most influentual song of the 90's, but i liked the "On Utero" better than "Whatever" |

I would say that Coolio doesn't have the artistic integrity to cover such a revolutionary song, but then again, the song was only revolutionary because it threw the conventions of music out the window. |

Do you rememeber any of the lyrics?
Considering he covered the song, most of the lyrics are probably the same.
Still, that's rather interesting. Got a site where we could see said preformance?
I was asking if he remembered the lyrics so we could figure out what song he covered.  |

The music industry has gone to hell.

Actually I bet it isn't as bad as it seems. |

I know the truth behind Kurt's death!
His wife was jealous... She injected him with 5x the leathal amount of heroine then shot him in the head with a shotgun. How do I know this? If you injected even 2x the lethal amount of heroine into your body, you'd be so disoriented to know what a gun even is. Secondly, YOU try reaching the side of your head with a big ol' shotgun. Thirdly, the shell was on the side of his jacket opposite the shell discharge port on a shot gun. How'd it get there? Oh, yea... He was MURDERED! |

There is no comparison; Nirvana would lay the smackdown on Coolio (provided Cobain was still alive  ) |
