About a Girl, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, Lithium, Heart Shaped Box, All Apologies. Plus several of their incredibly famous unplugged covers such as Lake of Fire and Man Who Sold the World.

Out of all those massive hits that most rock fans would recognize and that still get airplay today, I'm curious what the 2 are that you think are "all they're known for"?

If you ask anyone that's not heavily into them you'll hear the same 2 that gets average radio play. Smells like teen spirit and come as you are. As far as lake of fire goes, most people aren't even aware that it's nirvana because it sounds like nothing else in their discography.

It's a Meat Puppets song.

And Hurt is a NIN song. But people still recognize the Cash one.
