Guns N Roses "Rocket Queen" or Nirvana's "Smells like Teen Spirit"?

Question

Which is the best song?

why?

Answer 1

Are you kidding?

GNR Rocket Queen!!!

Guns N Roses is just more musically talented than Nirvana, in my honest opinion. And I love the song Rocket Queen, it was raw rock n roll!The lyrics are great whereas Nirvana's lyrics for Smells Like Teen Spirit are borderline gibberish... though I'm NOT saying it is a bad song, I really love Nirvana as well, and I love that song. But the intro to Rocket Queen is amazing, Axl Rose's voice is amazing, and I love how at the end, it takes this sweet, kind of romantic turn. Love it!!!

Oh not to mention, those moaning noises from the chick are real! Hahaha!!! How rock n roll is that?!

Answer 2

smells like teen spirit crushes rocket queen...you can't match the angst in the lyrics and music of teen spirit

Answer 3

I like both bands, but I prefer Rocket Queen, Teen Spirit is a overrated song. (Nirvana has better songs)

The last part of Rocket Queen is my favorite,

"I see you standing

Standing on your own

It's such a lonely place for you

For you to be

If you need a shoulder

Or if you need a friend

I'll be here standing

Until the bitter end

No one needs the sorrow

No one needs the pain

I hate to see you

Walking out there

Out in the rain

So don't chastise me

Or think I, I mean you harm

Of those that take you

Leave you strung out

Much too far

Baby - yeah

Don't ever leave me

Say you'll always be there

All I ever wanted

Was for you

To know that I care"

Great ending to a underrated song and a excellent album.

Answer 4

rocket queen all the way...slash is the best plus the moaning sounds are pretty badass and totally rockn roll

Answer 5

any other song i would take guns and roses over nirvana...but i'm not to big on rocket queen and i really like smells like teen spirit...so i'll take smells like teen spirit

Answer 6

They're both great tunes by great bands. I would have to say that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is definitely more popular. That song single handily ended the Butt Rock scene of the 80's and was the unofficial anthem for Generation X.

Answer 7

Tuff one. I love classic rock but im not a big fan of guns n roses. But i am a fan of nirvana but i think smells like teen spirit is a bit overated so idk.

Both are way before my time

Answer 8

Rocket Queen - Slash, need i say more?

Answer 9

'smells like teen spirit' all the way

Answer 10

I like both, but smell like teen spirit is way better.

Answer 11

It's hard to say, because both are good. But I think Rocket Queen is more Rock N' Roll and melodic and good for parties so I choose it.

Answer 12

I would say Rocket Queen, I like Nirvana and all but they are sometimes so overrated, it drives me insane. Both are good songs though, but teen spirit is overplayed. I just prefer Rocket Queen.  

Answer 13

Rocket Queen by GnR - just not a fan of Nirvana

Answer 14

Smells like Teen Spirit.

Cos it fricking rocks, and Nirvana's like my favorite band

Answer 15

Rocket Queen is a great song and I like it a lot , but it did not have a fraction of the impact that Smells had on the whole music scene....if your asking based on personal preference then a vote for either is understandable , but Nirvana had a huge impact with that tune and GNR was just a great band with great songs........Gotta vote for Smells

Answer 16

i would have to say rocket queen i love both songs but smells like teen spirit is the only nirvana song that i like and i like all guns n roses songs and think that they are much more musically talented than nirvana and rocket queen is just a better song  

Answer 17

Wow I vote for smells like teen spirit! It was revolutionary. Don't matter if the song is overplayed or if the band is overrated. Which Nirvana is a good band.  It was great piece of art when it first came out. Many musicians cover the song today, even legends say that smells like teen spirit was something special. You can't really explain it, Rocket Queen can't touch smells like teen spirit with a mile long pole.
