I randomly chose this to play today for the first time in about 8 years and was wowed all over again by it. I thought every track was strong and had to play it in it's entirety a second time. Although having a favourite track isn't all that important, I'd be stumped if I had to choose and was just wondering what others thought or if they did have a favourite.

UH funny, I ripped it last night myself and gave it a play for the first time in a year or so. It is a truly great rock record.

Serve the Servants gets my vote. The riff kicks in, and Cobain laments about how "Teenage angst has paid off well"...fantastic way to open up in my book.

Pennyroyal Tea is a close second for me.

Yeah that's pretty smart.

Regarding the inevitable comments about Nirvana's place in the universe, I do prefer to listen to the music than the johnny come lately-reassessment-"they're overrated" brigade. That's overrated.

It's definitely "Scentless Apprentice". I never heard Kurt Cobain be so energetic and powerful in any other song from the group. Plus, the drums are awesome.

I'm not much of a Nirvana fan to begin with (yeah, I'm on the overrated bandwagon), but I really like Tourette's. It seems like grunge bands were able to put together a few very good faster songs (example: Soundgarden's "Jesus Christ Pose"), and Tourette's is one of them.

Heart shaped box takes it, the melody and the lyrics just strike a chord w/ me

IMO it's one of the worst because it's so repetetive and it doesn't really go anywhere. Just my opinion, of course

I through this album last night, and my vote definitely goes to "All Apologies." I don't think it's the best storywise, but I just like the relaxed, easygoing nature of that song. It's a nice way to end the album, IMO.

milk it is
one of the hardest songs ever and brilliantly done with stops and such
im the only one who picked it

serve the servants

lounge act (best overall)

i've always liked the super-aggresive production on "in utero".

Me too. Heart Shaped Box may be my favorite Nirvava song period.

I chose Serve the Servants as well.
I'm glad you mentioned the production as it suprised me with it's kick-ass dynamics and other good stuff.

Am I responding to the post or avatar?
