Nobody really talks about Nirvana or even Cobain now...maybe he's gone AND forgotten.

Neil did some records in the seventies with a sound that greatly resembles the Grunge sound that Nirvana "pioneered" n' Curt Cobain was a fan of Neil.
This two songs from Rust Never Sleeps is part of the Grunge herritage, allthough the first song isn't totaly freaked out with distin' guitars.
"My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)"
My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.
Out of the blue
and into the black
They give you this,
but you pay for that
And once you're gone,
you can never come back
When you're out of the blue
and into the black.
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten
This is the story
of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out
than it is to rust
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
"Hey Hey, My My (Into the black)"
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
Out of the blue and into the black
You pay for this, but they give you that
And once you're gone, you can't come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black.
The king is gone but he's not forgotten
Is this the story of johnny rotten?
It's better to burn out 'cause rust never sleeps
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Is the bold lines in the lyrics lookin' familiar for you that likes Cobain?
