      You Know You're Right is Nirvana's best song, imo. It's the last thing Kurt recorded, and was released after his death. It predicts very well, his plan and demise. Many of his songs did that, but this one did it best. It was his Farewell to the world

I found out at 5:28pm, it was a cold, dark Monday evening. It's forever etched into my soul. In a few years, it'll be 20 years for me as well. It feels like just a few years ago, like time froze, and never let me go. I felt your comment, and I hope you've copped better with your loss than I have mine. God bless.

    I agree with others that you need to check out “She Hates Me”, but not only that, be sure to check out “Control” and “Drift & Die”. IMO they are even better than “She Hates Me”.
    What I love about Puddle of Mudd is not just the songwriting and the lead singer’s voice (Wes Scantlin), but the band’s use of harmony at key points in many of their songs. It’s often a subtle but awesome touch.

    Puddle of Mudd is an American rock band formed in Kansas City, Missouri in 1992. To date, the band has sold over seven million albums and has had a string of No. 1 mainstream rock singles in the United States. Wes Scantlin (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Jimmy Allen (lead guitar), Sean Sammon (bass), and Kenny Burkitt (drums).
    According to Scantlin, the band name was inspired by practicing next to the Missouri river levee. In order to get to their practice space, the band "had to walk through a pile of shit (Mud). Wes Scantlin wrote "Blurry" about his desire to be a good dad to his son Jordan, and how he was missing his friends and family. Lyrics below:
    Everything's so blurry and everyone's so fake
    And everybody's empty and everything is so messed up
    Preoccupied without you, I cannot live at all
    My whole world surrounds you, I stumble and I crawl
    You could be my someone, you could be my scene
    You know that I'll protect you from all of the obscene
    I wonder what you're doing, imagine where you are
    There's oceans in between us, but that's not very far
    Can you take it all away?
    Can you take it all away?
    Well, you shoved it in my face
    This pain you gave to me
    Can you take it all away?
    Can you take it all away?
    Well, you shoved it in my face
    Everyone is changing, there's no one left that's real
    So make up your own ending and let me know just how you feel
    'Cause I am lost without you, I cannot live at all
    My whole world surrounds you, I stumble then I crawl
    You could be my someone, you could be my scene
    You know that I will save you from all of the unclean
    I wonder what you're doing, I wonder where you are
    There's oceans in between us, but that's not very far
    Can you take it all away?
    Can you take it all away?
    Well, you shoved it in my face
    This pain you gave to me
    Can you take it all away?
    Can you take it all away?
    Well, you shoved it in my face
    This pain you gave to me
    Nobo-, nobody told me what you thought
    Nobody told me what to say
    Everyone showed you where to turn
    Told you when to run away
    Nobody told you where to hide
    Nobody told you what to say
    Everyone showed you where to turn
    Showed you when to run away
    Can you take it all away?
    Can you take it all away?
    Well, you shoved it in my face
    This pain you gave to me
    Can you take it all away?
    Can you take it all away?
    Well, you shoved it in my face
    This pain you gave to me, no
    This pain you gave to me
    This pain you gave to me
    Can you take it all, take it all away?
    This pain you gave to me
    Can you take it all away?
    This pain you gave to me
    Can you take it all away?

    Another amazing song that'd be awesome for you to check out is Outside by Staind. Now, the version you want is his live performance with Fred Durst. Fred is a friend of the lead singer's, and he said if you do your new song, I'll come on with you. Now, the lead singer for Staind, he didn't HAVE the song. All he had was a chorus and the rhythm. It was ALL IMPROVIZED on stage, and later enhanced and more words added for the studio release. For him to sing on the spot a full song is incredible!!

I knew the song was about his girl who did some shady shit, and he was confused and mad about the situation, but when I finally saw the music video a few months later, on mtv. The music video threw a twist. I didn't think that the song would be about his son and his baby momma. Made the song better and more emotional....u should check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

    To understand the song better watch the official video. I had a deeper appreciation of the lyrics when I realized he was singing to his son. At that time my son was deployed over seas so it hit hard.

    I think you would love ZZ Top's Bluejean Blues but I don't have the $$ to get your attention. Thanks for the entertainment!

    Great reaction and commentary!! This is probably my favorite song by them. I also like, "Control". It was the first release, before Blurry. Give it a listen...see what you think.

    Air play in thing area and time called it "alternative." Indy had a couple stations geared to this genre.

      Cleveland did too. I loved the station. It was called The End. It was at the end of the dial.
