Cobain’s Favorite Bands
Following his untimely death, several lists of Kurt Cobain’s favorite bands came up, some handwritten, and several playlists of his favorites appeared for fans. One of Kurt’s favorite bands was The Pixies. There were other bands, though, like Boston who some had said influenced his song ‘Smells Like the Teen Spirit,’ as the opening was much like More than a Feeling by Boston. Other bands Cobain enjoyed were The Knack and Black Flag. The Melvins was another group that ranked high with Cobain, who actually auditioned to be a part of the band, but his nerves let him down and due to the anxiety, he forgot all the lyrics!
