So there was talk on Ron and Fez last week of Pearl Jam being the greatest band to come out of the Seattle Grunge scene, however there would be no grunge scene.. at least not worldwide, without Nirvana. So today we pay tribute to Kurt,Dave, and Chris as only we can... by posting songs of other bands covering them.
I think we'll take a little trip around the world...
First off, we will start out with Cibo Mato, those wacky japanese girls doing "About a Girl".
Cibo Mato - About A Girl
Then we travel to Scotland to hear Glasvegas do "Come As You Are".

We'll stop off in Belgium, to here the Scala And Kolacny Brothers Choir do "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
Scala - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Next Stop... Syberia... nothing like a little Tuvan Throat Singing covers... We Have Bugotak doing "Kaar Mege (Rape Me)".
Bugotak - Kaar Mege (Rape Me)
Back in the USA... to hear Port O'Brian do "Something in The Way"

Now that we are in the states, we head deep in the heart of Texas. First Dallas to hear The Polyphonic Spree do "Lithium".
