Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

This album and Unplugged Alice In Chains are still in my rotation.
I've got so many songs from this Unplugged album and Alice in Chains Dirt on my main playlist
This song specifically still gives me chills
@fordlincolnhg You should add 2 more from the series, imo. REM and Paul McCartney!
For sure! I wish that series kept going.
The album that started it all for me. Jumped heard first into rock and never looked back.
Love this album! For me it's a toss up between this and Bleach. Love Buzz is another great cover.
Strange how much I prefer Bowie covers to Bowie. This is one of the best examples. Thanks Kurt& Dave (and Krist too)!
Agree 100% (about this song). I'm a major Bowie fan, but I loved this cover the second i heard it 20+ years ago (and long after Nirvana was no more), and despite listening to the original countless times, I've never wavered from that opinion.
@Donjuanme Thatβs super fair. I like Bowie and really enjoy some of his songs. Certainly appreciate what he meant for music. But yeah, generally prefer covers to originals.
