Yeah but before Cobain, punk rock was pretty much still an underground music that really hadn`t been pushed to it`s limits.

Sorry - but Iggy Stooge singing 'Cock in My Pocket" in 1969 had already pushed punk rock as far to the limits as it could go. Johnny-come-latelys like Cobain were merely copying what had been done 25 years earlier.

Well I meant music wise. Iggy had the idea, but his songs where a lot of basic three chord stuff where Cobain had come up with a lot more complicated melodies and pushed punk further. I don`t care what anyone says, but you listen to that album Nevermind, the music in that thing is brilliant. I`m not talking about the words, but the music. Listen to Lithium or Drain you, it isn`t the usual punk but music that brings it to a whole new level.

"Cock In My Pocket" BTTT


...I just wanna $@%# ya and I don't want no romance!


Don't know what versions of that you've heard but I have a bootleg from 1978 where he plays Cock In My Pocket and Rich Bitch. That show is a prime example of pushing punk to its limits.
