As I've mentioned before, I have a bootleg of Smashing Pumpkins doing
Godzilla, and in that performance the similarity with Teen Spirit is
especially pronounced. Of course, from my understanding Nirvana had long
admitted that Teen Spirit was nicked from More Than A Feeling, even to the
point of singing the lyrics to More Than A Feeling in concert over the
song.
