Nirvanin hit “Smells Like Teen Spirit” nedavno se okitio titulom ‘most iconic song of all time’.
Titulu osobite izvrsnosti s karakteristikama ikone dodijelili su joj istraživači s londonskog Goldsmitha koje predvodi muzičar i kompjuteraš Dr. Mick Grierson. On je obradio 50 pjesama s lista najboljih svih vremena koristeći razne izvore, te ih provukao kroz analitički software usporedivši tonalitete, stihove, tempo i slično.
Na drugom je mjestu “Imagine” Johna Lennona, slijedi “One” grupe U2, a “Billie Jean” Michaela Jacksona i “Bohemian Rhapsody” grupe Queen zatvaraju prvu petorku.
Na listi su još i “Sweet Child O’ Mine” Guns N’ Rosesa, “Live Forever” Oasisa, “Creep” Radioheada, “My Generation” The Who i druge.
