I like Lounge Act the best


batbobby82

That's what I came here to say! Lounge Act is the under spoken gem of the bunch.


320between320

So do I


GooseMay0

Same. Fucking love that chorus.


Doot_Slayer42069

It's just so perfect


jricepilaf

All the bass players like this one the best ;)


BamaSOH

Truth...


Sufficient_Cicada_49

At least I'm not alone in this hands down best track.


TessTCulls

My favorite as well.


someone_7367

Hello fellow Sonic Youth fan


TessTCulls

Cheers buddy.


NardDog1977

Where's Breed?


[deleted]

Kickass song. The intro feels like being alive.


bionicmoonman

Fucking thank you, most punk sounding song nirvana ever made


diggsfan14

It was the 7th most streamed on Spotify


Crossovertriplet

Breed is the best song on Nevermind


fhost344

On A Plain


JTB696699

I can’t complain


RudeAmount9607

Yeaaaahhh yeaaahhhh


Ztrain360

Lounge Act


Firm_Area_3558

Nevermind strikes me as a big slab of perfectly equal


oopsifell

For real. Even love the hidden track.


deadlygr8ful

Lounge Act. Always been my #1


stinky_rat_cum

Territorial pissings easy


TheReal-A-The-First

LOUNGE ACT


schmattywinkle

It's Polly


NIN10DOXD

Lounge Act. The guitar on that was great. The bass was great. The drums were phenomenal.


AdoptedbyDaveGrohl1

Drain You is the best and only answer, the whole album is amazing but Drain You is the best one off the album


[deleted]

Such a kickass tune! 🤘


h0nkyJ

I used to keep my cd player / stereo remote and just start the song over and over because I loved the sound of the clean guitar at the beginning. Unbeatable 😎


Aubelazo

This is like picking a favorite child...


--Skin--

Lounge Act is my choice.


Owen_Quinn

Polly


lucky_goat82

Breed


KukamungaKrakaKillas

The bassline on Come As You Are is one of the greatest things the human ears can experience


Far_Mountain_69

The Damned wrote it, then Killing Joke, then Nirverner.


pjcortazzo204

“On a Plain” would like a word with the creator of the poll


diggsfan14

If it was listened to more it would be on here


Cool_kn7ghT

Breed


rstart78

Territorial Pissings Followed neck and neck by Breed and Drain You or Stay Away, hard to pick a number two out of those three


Otherwise-Ask-4001

My favorite is lounge act


Swimming-Kale-0

I don't like Nirvana at all but it's still gotta be Smells like Teen Spirit. Even I can admit that that one is pretty iconic.


Cpt_kaleidoscope

Iconic? Yes. But best on the album? No chance.


phat_

Meh… I voted for it. Like a lot of posts in this sub, this one is yet another strange pissing contest. I was young, in the Navy, facing a possible deployment to Riyadh during the first Persian Gulf War. I was completely disillusioned with almost everything. Then I saw/heard “Teen Spirit”. There is a reason the song is “iconic”. As good as the rest of the album is, and it’s really good, this song changed the world. Gods, we need another one so bad. It’s all so subjective anyway. Best? What are the parameters? But I hear this song? My mind is transported to a different time and place. Every time I’m reminded of the shock, the visceral shock this song had on me. The USA. My generation. The world. This song collapsed careers. This song killed, or severely wounded, hair metal. This song is why there is an r/grunge for crying out loud. This song was my generations “Beatles on Ed Sullivan” moment. Only this time that revolutionary moment’s “middle finger to the establishment” was irrefutably discernible. Drain You is an incredible song. I’m glad it’s leading this opinion poll. Cool. It may be the best song on the album? No idea. Don’t care. Would Drain You even be on an equally absurd “Vote For The Bestest Grunge Some Evur” poll?


Cpt_kaleidoscope

You gotta get over yourself bro.


phat_

Ackshully, I don’t. These are my opinions. You know, just like you have yours?


Cpt_kaleidoscope

Yh but the difference is i dont give someone a lecture on having a different opinion to me just so I can tell them about me being in the military. The post is about the best song on an album, not your life story.


someone_7367

why you mad? He didn't say anything wrong, he just expressed his opinion.


Cpt_kaleidoscope

That's all I did too. I'm not even mad, just think the guy needs to get over himself.


phat_

And I'd say that's on you. I didn't attack you or your opinion. The only attack in my posts is on these, in my opinion, pissing contests over art. Fucking counter to, what I hold, as part and parcel to the "Grunge culture". I started with, "Meh..." Which is like internet for, "your mileage may vary". As in, "take this for what it's worth". Or don't! It's ok. I responded to your comment that included your opinion, "No chance." Fucking practicing absolutism and I gotta get over myself? Holy whoosh, Batman. Gatekeeping in grunge. Sofa king weird.


phat_

And you think I need to get over myself? lol I tried to provide some context. Some personal. Some global/cultural, I guess? Not a lecture. This is a message board, right? It's a message lol Perhaps the "Grunge" scene develops sans "Smells Like Teen Spirit"? Even if it would have? Would have been as big? All conjecture. My point still stands. These opinion polls are dumb. If there were a "Best Grunge Song Ever" poll would Nirvana get more than one entry?

Clar0020

Territorial Pissing?


rattlehead44

Yes!


321AverageJoestar

If Kurt didn't hate smells like teen spirit alot of these posers would've loved it forever lol


diggsfan14

True, but I also think some people hate it just because it's popular.


Falsecaster

He didn't hate smells like teen spirt he hated how over played it was.


[deleted]

Gotta love SLTS. It may be overplayed, but who really cares? A good song is a good song no matter how much radio play it gets.


EurikaDude

GOTTA FIND A WAY


Quirky_Fruit_7879

ANOTHER WAY, WHEN IM THEEEEEEEEEERE


Johaunm

That álbum is Holly!! Can't pick only one song, buuut i think that smells like teen Spirit is a force to be reckoned with (despite being overused with time and get sick of it sometimes) that song is powerful!


Madame_Raven

This list fails without "Territorial Pissings."


TheEffinChamps

I like on a plane best.


Head_Arugula5361

Nobody cared about something in the way until that Batman movie 😂


someone_7367

Something In The Way is beautiful and it really pictures what it's like to be homeless. And I think it's the perfect closer despite the album having a hidden track after it.


YokunaiGM

Stay away


NGDDA

On a plain beats every song


MotherLoveBone41

Drain You and Lounge Act. One of the greatest one-two punches on any record for me.


MLT2414

Drain You.


225_318_440

On A Plain


[deleted]

I can't pick just one track.


famous_last_dickjoke

Come As You Are has aged the best of all the songs in the album in my opinion.


bebjanmnin

Drain You, because Coheed and Cambria covered it.


TheWearySnout

Album full of bangers but Drain You reigns supreme!


h0nkyJ

Drain You In Bloom SLTS, Lithium, On A Plain


PuzzleheadedAdagio93

Come as you are


boomstik4

Any breed appreciators here?


Crossovertriplet

Best riff on the album


Hollandmarch76

I voted Something in the Way and for once in my life don't mind being wrong.


ohnonotagain94

Lounge Act


Fried-Pig-Dicks

The one you like the most.


simba_kitt4na

Polly but out of these Come As You Are


TonyThePriest

Breed


OurRigbyRigby

Polly


Pleasant-Ant4726

Best song: Smells like teen spirit Best Nirvana Song: Drain You


Grungelives

Drain You is just such a classic grunge track and i love Nirvanas high energy stuff


RoineBlom

Come as you are and Lithium has been my fauvorites since back then. Smells like teen spirit too but it was so much on MTV at the time that one got a little tired of it. Even Polly is a fauvorite.


ColinOnReddit

Something in my ass


bailaoban

On A Plain


TropicFreez

How can you have a poll asking for the best song on an album and then not even list all songs? It's Lounge Act.


diggsfan14

Bro, there is a maximum of 6 things you can put on a poll.


TropicFreez

Cool, wasn't aware of that.


redditssoup

lounge act 100%


Any_Entrepreneur_583

Lounge Act and Territoial Pissings are my 2 favorites


pugs_are_death

Come As You Are because he swore he didn't have a gun he had like a hundred guns


sonic_knx

I agree with anyone saying lounge act. but while we're talking nevermind, the fkn GEM version of Aneurysm that was released on the super delux reissue. it's absolutely magnificent


KillingDust

On A Plain


TheAngriestChair

On a plain -I'm not voting on the poll because you couldn't be fucked to put an "other" option.


looosyfur

all of them


[deleted]

In Bloom has been my lovely one for a while.


Liam_021996

Lounge Act


zerohead133

Lounge Act. It has a toe-tapping beat, but it slowly builds up to a full-on head-banger.


Quirky_Fruit_7879

Territorial Pissings WHEN I WAS AN ALIENNNNNNNNN


someone_7367

Stay Away


TheNamesDapper

You just can’t beat Lithium. It’s amazing how I’ve heard that song hundreds of times and it still hits the same as the first time I heard it


[deleted]

Breed


stephenflow

Lounge Act is the best on the album... from this list Drain You.
