Have you given Bleach much of a listen? I'm not making the claim that it's their best, but it is a very raw form of the pop punk they perfected. Kurt Cobain really liked the Vaselines, and I think baking in that pop crank nursery rhyme aesthetic was a big part of Nirvana's formula. It's there right in the beginning, but in a uneven and experimental way that is pretty compelling to me.

I have, but not in a long time and I've never given it a very focused listen. I'll have to give it another listen and see if my opinion of it has changed.

You should also listen to the Vaselines.
