Saw the documentary about Kurt Cobain a few nights ago (on HBO - "Montage of Heck" - it was good.) Ever since then, I've been listening to Nirvana. I was just a smidgen too old for them to be the voice of my disaffected teenaged years, but they were certainly included in the soundtrack for my disaffected early 20s. Then late 20s. Then 30s. Now 40s. In other words, they are my go-to for angry music.

Still remember when this song exploded through all the crappy....dare I say vanilla?...pop music of the late 80s/early 90s.

I really enjoyed the documentary.
 
My go to for angry music has always been Green Day's Dookie, AKA before they sucked.

Me too. I thought it was really well done. Here's an interview with the director. He explains some things that didn't exactly come through perhaps as clearly as they could have, but overall I still say he did a good job: Interview With Brett Morgen Director Of Kurt Cobain Montage Of Heck NPR

I found it interesting that Dave Grohl wasn't in it at all, but perhaps that was because Courtney Love was in it (of course she was - her daughter was the executive producer after all.)
 
Huh...it seems that Dave Grohl was interviewed but too late to make the final cut of the movie: NME News Montage Of Heck director explains Dave Grohl s absence from Kurt Cobain film NME.COM

However, I still think that doesn't tell the whole story. It says the director approached him for an interview in April 2014, which is also, coincidentally? supposedly when Courtney Love and Dave Grohl finally made up and stopped fighting.

Nothing like a little cheese with your coffee on a Monday morning...

 
And then there is this, which I can not stop watching...because everything is better in slow-mo.

 

My generation of angry music, Country Joe McDonald and the Fish at Woodstock. Angry music with a tune.

(If you don't like the 'F' word or if you don't like some nudity, after the song ... then don't click on the video.)
