Nirvana's spirit still strong

If only - the most wistful couplet in the English language.If only Elvis had stuck to vitamin pills. If only James Dean had caught the bus. If only Kurt Cobain had bought a water pistol.
Alas, fate decreed otherwise and we are left instead with a legacy which will serve as a blueprint for aspiring guitar bands in decades to come.
Rather than bringing down the final curtain on the Nirvana story, this greatest hits collection is more of an unfinished symphony - a poignant reminder of what might have been.
The only new song here is You Know You're Right - a track recorded just three months before Cobain's untimely death in 1994.
It's vintage Nirvana, flitting between soothing warble and rampant snarl - and even though you know it's eight years old, you have to convince yourself it wasn't finished yesterday.
You Know You're Right has finally been allowed into the public domain following lengthy legal wrangles involving Cobain's widow, Courtney Love.
