I find that Kurt Cobain drew a lot of his inspiration from Andy Milonakis's folk songs such as "The Superbowl is Gay" Just for the lul'z, I don't forsee this thread dying anytime in the immediate future so I figure i might as well contribute while it's still in my posts at the top all the time Jim Morrison was a sham! LOL, what a thread that would be
Well much like pink floyds "darkside" I think Radiohead was in the right place at the right time. "ok computer" pretty much single handedly destroyed britpop (oasis, blur, etc) and dealt with the reliance and relationship of man and technolgy which is still completely relevant 13 years later. Then just instead of just repeating themselves they opted for glitchy ambient music on kid a that was still accessible enough for a mainstream audience. I can see how its not for everyone but I consider "ok computer" the closing chapter in rock of what "sgt. Peppers started.
My freind greg broke his gf's nose over a pink floyd argument.. it went like this.. GF :Im sick and tired of hearing that whinny Ohhhh ooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa song.. referring to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAydj4OJnwQ"]YouTube- The Great Gig In The Sky - Pink Floyd (Studio Version) He punched her in the nose and gave her something to whine about.. sad but true...
whats really sad, I couldnt get 1/2 was through the clip without lmao, remembering that crazy ass shit.. I was so my fault cause I didnt drink alcohol and Id leave beers in his mailbox and turned him into an alcoholic.. All part of my evil plan to consume mj and lsd all by my lonesome in the future.. seemed to have worked hella good i might say...
I always liked Creep a lot but I never really respected Radiohead as musicians and saw it as a flash of genius (well, not genius, but something close =P) but then I heard this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZHoci2Wjs0"]YouTube- Radiohead - Karma Police with lyrics semi-related: Richard Cheese's Creep (not him in it but this video is the awesomest) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4hSUDCWKDc"]YouTube- "Creep" - Richard Cheese
I heard he was insecure about his penis, probably the reason for his great tortured lyrics and thoat tearing growl shriek thing.
No, he had to much foreskin was the story I heard, supposedly it would make the neck of his Johnson itch the way athletes foot iritates someones feet. Bacteria multiplying in the folds and all, great band though, torture really, I don't know how he overcame it.

personally I don't care about Kurt Cobain. I get kinda irritated when people posthumously suck his dick, but I don't even really care enough to call them out on it. live and let live I guess. paha
