The first time I saw the video for Smells Like Teen Spirit, I was like, *shrug*. The second time, I was like, huh. The third time was ah... yyyeah! The song that broke the alternative wave. It almost singlehandedly ushered in a new era of rock. Rock had been in a downward spiral since the seventies. College radio had been bubbling up, but it took Nirvana to bring Alternative to the masses. The song is so well put together. Simple but effective. Fast-slow-fast. But the slow parts hold the promise of the rocking parts. The guitar and vocals are both loose, wobbling over the bass line, and then theres a quick build to the powerful attack. It really builds excitement between the choruses.
