Intentional or not, I always liked this one because Nirvana's sound on that record was how I got into Post-Punk and New Wave again after Grunge ran it's course. Plus I always love the abstraction of thinking of music as a mental "place" of sorts.

It was sort of like that riff was a room that was wild, crazy, full of action in the eighties, and then the 1990's come around and Kurt, Dave, and Krist are going Urban Exploring in the eighties rotten carcass. Kurt just flips the switch on the old rusty machine of Killing Joke and it whirs to life creaking, and whining at a slow, tired pace like some kind of abandoned piece of factory equiptment.

The Dammed!

YES.

"Ask alk the Damn questions ya want, take all the Damn photos ya need."

I think the gretest thign about the Damned for me is that Captain Sensible never stopped being Captain Sensible in public even though his persona isn't as famous as Johnny Rotten's
