Bad Songs by Good Bands: No. 13

'Rape Me'
--Nirvana (1993)

With its look-at-me outrageous title begging to be misinterpreted, Kurt Cobain and his unhelpfully obtuse lyrics managed to alienate the women he claimed to write this song in solidarity of. The big box stores refused to stock 'In Utero' on its shelves until Cobain agreed to change the track's name to 'Waif Me.' It says a lot when Wal-Mart's censorious meddling actually improves a song.

How could you hate this song? It's awsome. When I was a kid I got in trouble because I did, But that did'nt stop me.

This list is so blatanly contrived to spark arguments. These songs are iconic and whoever wrote this story is laughing at everyone for taking it so serious.

Oh my god. After all of these years. I cannot believe you people cannot just let it rest with all due respect to the dead!! Leave Nirvana alone, and leave Kurt Cobain alone!! Spin magazine needs to just back off!!

Whoever came up with this list, lost all credibility here. Also, the rest of those songs aren't too bad.
