Top 5 craptacular Nirvana covers (hats off to Denmark)


Bad covers... My guilty pleasure, nothing gives me greater satisfaction.

This is from a Danish album entitled Tribute To Nirvana. That oughta say it all. Danish. Quick, name ten good bands from Denmark!

I knew you couldn't. Unless Mercyful Fate counts ten times.

I've been trying to find some info on these bands, but there is none to be found. Has anyone ever heard of these clowns? Do they even exist? It wouldn't surprise if these bands are just the same group of studio musicians hired to record some songs by a famous band in order for a lame 3rd rate record label to cash-in. DANISH label!

I mean, seriously, Calcutta Anazamama? No way is that a real band. And what's the reason for this "tribute" to include Molly's Lips? Not even a Nirvana song!

#5 Melanie's Breast - Heart shaped box
#4 Beau Regards - Molly's lips
#3 Hayze - Come as you are
#2 Zircus - Drain you

And the "winner" is...

#1 Calcutta Anazamama - Smells like teen spirit

I can name one good Danish band; Psyched Up Janis. You can count them 5 times, and that band you mentioned 5 times. Sorted.

That Molly's Lips cover sounds like Syd Barrett plays Nirvana.

Haven't downloaded any yet. But can I be a smart arse and say that 'Molly's Lips' isn't a Nirvana song? It's by The Vaselines. Nirvana did do a great cover of it though. :-)

No shit, Sherlock. Perhaps read the post next time eh?

Sorry mate! Too busy trying to be a smart-arse!

I have managed to listen to them all and agree with Neil Cake. 'Molly's Lip's' is the best of the lot. The other four are terrible.

Hey, you could add King Diamond, but that's still like counting M.F. twice :)

Indeed really crappy covers, though there are a couple of decent ones (pennyrolal tea, in bloom, make you unhappy)...
