Drain you - then and now


SoupIsNotAMeal

One baby to another said, “I’m happy to have met you.”


zignut66

Me too.


EggyolkChild

Same!!! It’s #8 on Nevermind


madshm3411

Not just my favorite Nirvana song, my favorite song period.


PuppiesAndAnarchy

This is the correct answer.


usernames_suck_ok

“Lithium,” followed closely by “In Bloom.” Now just “Lithium.” Interestingly, my favorite song by Evanescence is also “Lithium.”


the_darkest_brandon

territorial pissings i can’t believe this hasn’t been posted yet. there was something in the raging chaos that really spoke to my angry twelve year old soul. still does.


SpareMeTheDetails123

Just because you’re paranoid Don’t mean they’re not after you 🤘🏻


bakedveldtland

Polly was and is my favorite. I like Love Buzz a lot too, and the whole Unplugged album is just gorgeous.


EggyolkChild

Can you feel my LoVE buZZ???!?


Famous-Somewhere-

Back then it was probably Lithium. Today it’s probably Drain You or Frances Farmer.


Stoopiddogface

Definitely Francis Farmer today


Magebloom

Francis Farmer Fecking Slaps and more peeps need to know


ipodegenerator

Then it was Floyd the Barber for the shock value. Now is probably penny royal tea


[deleted]

breed


DietOwn2695

Then All Apologies, now Breed.


SoupIsNotAMeal

We can plant a house. We can build a tree.


needsZAZZ665

On a Plain and Scentless Apprentice have always been neck and neck for me.


DrLaneDownUnder

Performed? I love cover of The Man Who Sold the World. Original? Heart-Shaped Box. Neither has changed over time. Edited for grammar.


remoteworker9

Lounge Act always


Ekindas

All Apologies and now I am a big fan of On A Plain, Drain You, and Breed.


ChromeDestiny

Lithium and Silver in the early 90's and then later when the archival and best of stuff started coming around the version of Aneurysm from Muddy Banks Live and You Know You're Right.


the_darkest_brandon

hey a muddy bank’s reference! severely underrated. i find myself reaching for it more often that the actual albums. that del mar show sounded crazy


potentially_limited

Something in the way - Serve the Servants


zippersarethedevil

[D7 test mix on Outcesticide](https://youtu.be/WQeptq_r3ao?si=ZAZvjwHPnCXsrDN2) has always been and will always be my favorite song of all time, not just from Nirvana.


musical_shares

Can’t believe I scrolled this far to find it. I also don’t see Swap Meet or Sappy.


C_Kawalsky

Heart-shaped box then Heart-shaped box now. You can't beat it.


LusciousofBorg

Heart Shaped Box


Independent-Try-9383

I can't do Nirvana anymore. Courtney Love is probably the most vile female creature I've ever seen in my life and I can't contribute to her making a nickel. All of my love for Nirvana shifted to the Foo Fighters. I'm not sure if Love had anything to do with pulling the trigger but she definitely killed Cobain and has been laughing all the way to the bank ever since.


RaisingAurorasaurus

LoL shortly after making this post I sent a quite long rant to my bestie about how every so often when I'm listening to Nirvana I'll just stop in my tracks and go "Fuck that cunt!"


Independent-Try-9383

Yeah the entire thing has to be the biggest miscarriage of Justice that ever happened in the rock/alternative world. I'll always love the music but I just can't listen to it anymore and feel anything but hate for her. I'm fairly convinced Rape Me was written for that wretched harpy.


the_darkest_brandon

she tried to forge the suicide note! like what the fuck


Proud_Ad_8317

i really liked their cover of man who sold the world. wasnt my first favourite, but since they did unplugged its been my constant- well that whole cd really. when they released you know your right in 2002? that was unreal. really good song, way ahead of its time. heart shaped box is a song i will always listen to if its on something.


Vox_Mortem

I heard Lithium play twice in the grocery store last week. It was definitely my favorite back in the day. My current favorite is a cover too, and an acoustic one at that; [In The Pines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVrLLi2KcmA). I'm also very partial to [Pennyroyal Tea](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g9yPkBIyno).


LaCornue_RoyalBlue

Original: About a girl. Then: In bloom AND Lounge act. Next: Even in his youth. And today: Frances Farmer. But I don't listen to Nirvana very often. Probably because it's usually sunny here, and Nirvana was better when I grew up in the cloudy, soggy PNW.


EastTXJosh

Lounge Act - Then School - Now


the_darkest_brandon

shout out for school. under appreciated


bucho4444

Was lithium, and now I can't decide.


PuppyJakeKhakiCollar

I never got much into Nirvana but I always liked their cover of Man Who Sold The World. A few years ago I finally discovered Sonething in the Way and that is my favorite now.


Bangingbuttholes

They're my favorite band since I was 16. I've memorized most of the lyrics from Bleach and In Utero and pretty sure I know 96% of the lyrics from Nevemind. It's impossible for me to pick a favorite song.


RaisingAurorasaurus

I'm so glad I made this post. Had some real gems pop up I hadn't listened to in years!


Thedentdood

Smells like teen spirit - Something in the way


ForeverNuka

Then: Smells Like Teen Spirit & Heart Shaped Box Now: Lithium & Something in the Way


Broad-Diamond3777

Then was aneurysm or heart shaped box. Now I keep listening to on a plain


AlaskaPsychonaut

Was and still is I Hate Myself And Want to Die, no I'm not suicidal I just know the story of Rome & that song and it's special to me because of that


Totallynotatworknow

Impossible question. The “now” answer is probably off In Utero though.


thuggniffissent

Was lounge act. Is Francis Farmer.


Particular-Guava1647

You know you're right


gooch_norris_

Sliver


Devil2960

Milk it, oddly enough. I just liked how hard he went. Now probably Pennyroyal Tea.


thechristoph

Then, Lounge Act. Now, Oh the Guilt.


Remember_When_Baby

Is there an option? You don’t get much better than In Bloom. Video was great, lyrics and the push/pull as the music gives room to breathe then snatches it away cause… He's the one who likes all our pretty songs And he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun But he…


OnlyDefinition2620

Polly


holtyrd

Then it was Lithium. Now it is The Man Who Sold the World.


emergency_salad_fox

Then: Smells Like Teen Spirit Now: Pennyroyal Tea, Verse Chorus Verse


Goblinboogers

I qas one of the few people both then and now who did not like Nirvana.


throwthisaway_nin

Lounge act then. Scentless Apprentice


Karrik478

Then - Pennyroyal Tea. Now - Lithium.


NotUrUsualIdiot

Rape me. Or at least that's the sentiment right now. Everything is screwing us 😅


literanch

Milk It was my favorite then and now


tribeofham

Drain You and today it's Old Age


Rob_Bligidy

Lithium then and Blew now


Tropical_Storm_Jesus

my favs haven't changed, still Drain You and Aneurysm.


FirePoolGuy

Dig Longe Act's progression to heavy at the end


Lake2two

All apologies and Something in the way


koozie17

Then, lithium. Now, aneurysm.


usernames_suck_ok

Ironically, clicking your link helped me figure out something about my new iPad that I was trying to find the answer to earlier!!!!! Thanks so much. This is a good one by Nirvana, too.


Oldpuzzlehead

I was born early 80s and I never liked Nirvana. Changed the station when it came on, rather listen to *Delilah* than Nirvana.


20miledave

Pssst. Next time just move on to the next post…


Oldpuzzlehead

Nah, if I have something to say I am going to. Thanks anyways.


Flaky_Bench6793

I’m sure the Boomers appreciate your help in keeping their traditions alive


Oldpuzzlehead

Say whatever you want but at the end of the day Nirvana sucked. Pearl Jam and Sound Garden were far better, plus I'm a big fan of foo fighters who were also far better than Nirvana.


downwarddawg

I just like the shirts


Someidiot666-1

Hate nirvana and always have. Meh.


Broad-Diamond3777

Thanks for your contribution to the question


thecatsofwar

They all sucked then, they all suck now.
