Title: No nirvana covers!
Review: There just aren't enough reasons why nobody, especially Tori Amos, should touch Nirvana's music with a ten foot pole. For the same reasons that nobody covers Stairway to Heaven, or Thriller, likewise should nobody cover Teen Spirit. I don't care how influential the song was in Tori Amos' life, there is nothing more selfish than taking a generation-defining song and making one cent off of it. It is out of respect for the artist and, more importantly, the music that it should be let alone. If Amos had covered the song now, over ten years later, perhaps it would be forgiveable. But Nirvana was still alive and kicking when Crucify was released in 1992, and Amos did nothing but butcher an upcoming classic and steal Cobain's thunder.
Is the review positive or negative?
