IMAGINE I M A G I N E the jiggle and sag when you decompress Billie form her outfits.
>>
>>130279810
Yes. She was the best.
>>
>>130280220
That's a talent.
Taking the same chord progression and making 2-3 different songs that sound totally different

Like the chords from Polly were used for Lithium and Dumb too. And yet they're very different songs
>>
>>130279810
He was definitely the best composer of the simplest yet memorable songs in the history of rock and possibly popular music.
He could get maximum feeling out of the simplest means.
The trick is in the very creative use of syncopated rhythm in combination with unique vocal phrasing that make even common chord progressions sound like something new
>>
Scott Weiland honestly surpassed Kurt's melody writing skills later in StP's career

The only comparable guitarist was somebody like greg sage who had innovated recording guitar feedback during the 80s:

>>130280105
this is the correct answer.
>>
>>130280043
That's also part of the reason the Beatles get so much hate because of the accessibility of the music
>>
>>130279810
yes.

Jeff Mangum is similar to Kurt in a lot of ways but also in melody writing. Even listen to his demos they show a natural talent for it

IMAGINE GOING THROUGH EVERY HUMILIATION RITUAL THAT THEY PRESENT TO YOU ONLY TO GET ASSASSINATED...

WHAT A GODLESS MORON.
>>
>>130283610
He even said so during the unplugged when he played Polly after Dumb and said: most people don't realise why we never play these 2 songs one after another, it's because they're the same.

And the Lithium chords start with a similar progression they get a bit different later. Plus they're done in a reggae/Police muffled style
>>
>>130284065
Imagine being the retards doing the "humiliation rituals" and they never work because they weren't needed in the first place.
>>
>>130279810
the melody of Pearl Jam "Black" mogs any Nirvana melody.
Even "Black Hole Sun" from kinda lame Soundgarden has a more oddly catchy and unexpected melody than any Nirvana one.

This is why people say 70% of this nigga's current fame is just because he killed himself young.

Macca is obviously the best pop and rock melody writer. Don't tell boybandfag or he might bully me.
>>
>>130279810
If we're talking solely about melody honestly plenty of power-pop acts have Kurt's minimalistic radio pop hooks beat

Here in my place and time
And here in my own skin I can finally begin
Let the century pass me by, standing under a night sky
Tomorrow means nothing

I was only a child then
Feeling barely alive when I heard a song from a speaker of a passing car
And prayed to a dying star, the memories fading
I can almost remember singing
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la

We watched the end of the century
Compressed on a tiny screen
A dead star collapsing and we could see
Something was ending
Are you through pretending?
We saw the signs in the suburbs

You could have never predicted that it could see through you
Kasparov, Deep Blue, 1996
Your mind's playing tricks now
Show's over so take a bow
We're living in the shadow of
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la

Hey
Put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there's something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
Hey
Put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I can feel it's leaving me
