Song: All Apologies
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LFVQpDKHk4
Quick Thoughts: Having created the band in Aberdeen, WA, Nirvana unintentionally brought punk, post-punk and indie rock in the mainstream, cemented is influence on rock music forever. The best description I've heard of Nirvana's sound is "fiery and melodic". I read someone say that this song is an 'F.U.' for all the people analyzing his songs. The "apology" is meant to be sarcastic, throwing in deliberately nonsensical phrases and words, as if to say "Why do you see me as a role model and take my words this seriously?"
Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List: 995
Added to my Personal List? YES
Total Songs Added to Final List: 4
For upcoming concerts: Unfortunately, this has no longer been possible since 1994.
Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music. My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists". As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list. I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
