God why can't we be back in the 80s and 90s. Anyways, I'm learning how to play Plateau by Nirvana and I'm also gonna sing it. Once I get it down and if I like it, maybe I'll upload a cover. It's always been one of my favorites. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hBkt-CnAv0[/media]

I heard it from the Meat Puppets and later I heard Nirvana's cover, that's when I told myself, "Yeah, I gotta learn this."

He wrote a couple of albums with Pearl Jam and was later quoted in Kurt Cobain's suicide note, so I'd say he definitely deserves a mention in this thread.
