2-4-Tuesday
In Matt's post, Thursday Thoughts (on Pop's birthday) he listed some covers that he thought would make good 2-4-Tuesday polls. One of the match-ups he suggested was The Man Who Sold the World pitting David Bowie against Nirvana. Almost half the Unplugged album from Nirvana could have been on his list, from the Vaselines to The Meat Puppets to today's selection, the grandfather of the blues, Leadbelly. So, once again, the vote is in your hands: Where Did You Sleep Last Night ?

As Ugly Kid Joe's version of "Cats in the Cradle" expresses true emotion, here the Nirvana version of this song just exudes despair. Even if you overlook the poor recording quality of Leadbelly, personally I still feel that Nirvana just nails this song in a way that Leadbelly only hints at.
