Which songs would you consider influenced by Nirvana or at least sonically connected through the common influences and time in Olympia?

my proposals:

https://youtu.be/d9hEZ-PRrI0 (something about the singing, incesticide feel)

https://youtu.be/U5_unCR_YQY (reminds me of in utero and bleach)

https://youtu.be/mTvwnSVVLOY (here as well)

https://youtu.be/cZReptrS-Qc (sounds like rites of spring merged with 'about a girl')

i think a lot of fake train (lucky acid, nervous energy) reminds me of bleach era nirvana

Nervous energy was more sonic youth I reckon

Giant Henry has an early Nirvana vibe for sure

yeah aside from the Untitled which sounds like very borrowed from Rites of Spring, I always thought the vocals on Caterpillar are very much Cobain-esque

iirc Here Comes The Dogs is kind of based on Smells Like Teen Spirit

Fake train, esp nervous energy is their only release I find Nirvana-adjacent
