10: Even In His Youth (Previously Unreleased)
One of the great things about Nirvana to me are the lyrics, Kurt may have said how lyrics come secondary to the music though he still has some amazing lyrics, this song is a great show of this point.
9: You Know You're Right
Don't be fooled by the extremely quiet interlude, because this song can pack a punch. It builds up in tiers and reaches a zenith point during the final chorus and holds you there for a good minute or so.
8: Milk It
A song that I didn't much care for to begin with but it has grown on me impressively. I love the lyrics and their unique style that is represented within this song.
7: Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle
Though I don't really understand why the title needs to be so damn long, comic value? Well the song sounds immense and has some very good lyrics to match.
6: Heart-Shaped Box
Iconic, simply iconic, one of the most famous Nirvana songs ever, and for good reason. Memorable riff, great vid, great chorus, this is an overall, great song with great lyrics.
5: Ain't It A Shame (Demo)
This is a good upbeat quick song that truly shows the bi-polar nature of the band and the one ends extreme. This song rivets to you and doesn't let go until the ride is over.
4: Pennyroyal Tea
Here we have the opposite to the latter. More of a journey then a ride, an emotional one that speaks of pain and turmoil. This shows the true side of Nirvana in my humble opinion.
3: Polly
Much like the latter though written and performed in a much more ethereally beautiful way. The (New Wave) version is good though it lacks what makes this song so truly special.
2: D-7
This song very successfully blends the bi-polar natures of Nirvana, beginning slow and meaningful before taking it up a few notches. This usually fails for as it is very hard to do well, D-7 however manages it perfectly. Oh and did I mention the lyrics? They are amazing once again, though not as much as the next song, the best Nirvana song in my opinion.

1: Old Age (Nevermind Outtake)
The most beautifully written and meaningful Nirvana song ever to be performed. Sang in such a way that you may at first wander what is being said, but you will realise with time that the lyrics demand such emotion to be put into the song though only Kurt can pull this off and reveal the true beauty of the song.
