I'm liking those who don't try to sing like Cobain more. Probably because I can't help comparing those that do to the original, and they just aren't even on the same level.
Let's just put it out there--no one should ever cover this song.
I think that, almost as a rule, the only successful covers completely let go of the original artist's context and transplant the song root and branch - Tom Jones covering Prince's "Kiss" or Devo with Hendrix's "Are You Experienced".
