What are some of your favorite songs?

[Friday]

This is the very first song I learned to play on electric bass:

Stand By Me - Ben E. King

[JJ]

Tenacious D: Master Exploder

OMG... plus 1 for even knowing of Tenacious D   

Tenacious D: Wonderboy

+2?   

[JJ]

dio - holy diver

[Vitruvian]

Led Zeppelin - Over the Hills and Far Away

[Vitruvian]

Chicago - Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

[Vitruvian]

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer

[Vitruvian]

Stone Temple Pilots - Creep

EDIT: Despite what the video credits say, this song is from The Stone Temple Pilots.  (Thanks, Sandy!)

[Vitruvian]

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Crossfire

[Friday]

Nirvana - Half the Man I Used to Be

Are you certain that's Nirvana?  Sure sounds like STP, despite the label on the video...

You're right.  I always thought that was Nirvana (I guess I'm not the only one).  The video poster seems confused: in the video, he credits Nirvana for the song but has "Stone Temple Pilots - Creep" in the information box.

EDIT:  The video I posted was a cover, by Nirvana of the Stone Temple Pilots' song.  Listen to the original and the difference is noticeable.

You, sir, have been sniffing entirely too much glue.  Here's a link to a video of Stone Temple Pilots singing Creep.

Do not take the name of Kurt thy God in vain, lest ye be sent to a Lake of Fire.

I watched the same video earlier today.  The song differs from the one I posted, in which Kurt Cobain is the singer.  Listen to it again.

Of course the songs differ; one is the studio recording, and one is a live performance. 

Here are a couple of comments that someone posted on one of the other YouTube videos of the same version of the song, which could have been, although aren't, mine.

The drums don't seam like Dave's style, though that's not to much to go on... and the guitar in the background of the chorus (just pinpointing one spot at about 3:18) is not Kurt's style...

From a real hardcore Nirvana fan and mild STP fan... this is not Nirvana, though Courtney has a bunch of tapes of unreleased songs by Kurt, no Nirvana release has ever been this song! It was released on the STP album Core... look it up

Everybody is giving thumbs down to the comments that are saying the truth... this song is not by NIrvana and it's not called "Half the Man I used to be"... It's "Creep" by Stone Temple Pilots!!! And Nirvana never covered it, if you've heard two versions of the song, than it's because the version used for the music video was a little different than the one on the album. That is definitely Scott Weiland's voice, and not Kurt's (though it is remarkably similar in this song).

More evidence: the album Core, STP's first, wasn't even released until 9/29/92.  Cobain blew his head off 4/5/94.  The odds of one of the biggest bands in the world at the time (Nirvana) covering a recently released song of a new, competing band (STP) "lambasted in some quarters as cynical clones of the then-vaunted "Seattle sound"" (from the album's amazon review , during one of their final live performances, seem slim.

All right, you win.
