Triple J's Hottest 100 of all time

[Exar Kun]

I always felt lucky to have been 13 and full of hormones when I heard this song. It really opened my eyes (er, ears?) musically

Yeah, same. I was just thinking that it might now have figured as the absolute top song of a lot of people but holy crap it would have made a lot of top tens.

It was the song that led me into Soundgarden, AiC, Stone Temple Pilots, Pumpkins, Faith No More and a bunch of others around that time.

i remember the first time i saw Smells like teen spirit on the tv, it was so unglam like all the rock music was at the time, there was no leather, foofed hair or pointy guitars. It was jeans, cardigans and old fashioned guitars. It cleansed the world or the glam era.

I love that clip so much. From the toe tapping at the start to the total mahem at the end. And the slow-mo shot of the cheer leader doing her thing...

It changed music for a long time for a lot of peoples... I think its even a large part of the punk rock revival during the mid 90s.

Totally agree, I was in year 4 when I first started listening to triple j and this hit the radio, it led to my love of music.. im not a mega Nirvana they have a lot of average songs, but that song is just fucking fantastic
