    Fun fact: Nirvana covered Led Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker” at their first show at a house party in in 1987. They were playing cover songs since day one. Heck, nearly half the tracks on Unplugged are covers.

      Hell, knowing “The man who sold the world” is a cover is the mark of a Bowie fan, not a Nirvana fan.

        Cobain literally says “that’s a David Bowie song” after they play it. It’s on the recording. Anyone who is a nirvana fan would then know that because he spoonfeeds it to you

          You’d think so, but the recording that played on TV when I was a kid cut off mid-applause for some reason.
