I hear a lot of joy division in new order. I know this sounds crazy because they do totally different music, but that bass, dem early synths, that guitar used in the background, them human drum machine drumming... I don't know, maybe it's just me

Seeing as how it's the same band, it's not much of a stretch.

Alice in Chains and Godsmack

cobain loved the wipers he named them on his list of 50 best albums

kek'd

KC had great taste.

Kurt really wore his influences on his sleeves

im the 80-90's and still has better taste than half of this board

Imagine he had to discover The Swans, The Wipers, Beat Happening, Mazzy Star, Rites of Spring BEFORE the internet.

ever heard of fan-zines? but still its pretty remarkable, he most likely heard of swans through sonic youth

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, The Smiths

I imagine it was a little easier as a touring musician lol.. he probably met them all

Belle & Sebastian too

Yeah, he also probably heard of the more twee bands from being friends with Calvin Johnson and the chick punk bands from Kathleen Hanna

He discovered The Raincoats. Kurt might be the only person with truly patrician music taste
