Sappy
Even in His Youth
Dive (sounds great through a system)
Drain You
D7
Here She Comes Now
You Know You're Right
Etc

I personally think Cobain had an excellent voice when he was in the right mood. More specifically, I should say he had a decent voice and a very unique (and awesome) scream for rock music.

I lived in Seattle prior to the surge of Nirvana.

Most of the "bigs" in town were AIC, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam (who was Mookie Blaylock for a short time)and preceeded by Mother Love Bone/Green River.

Nirvana really wasn't the band people buzzed about in Seattle.

AIC busted their asses off and everyone knew it.

They played everywhere.

Funny you mentioned "the other singer" in Goo Goo Dolls, referring to Rzeznik's raw higher pitched vocals.

I remember when Goo Goo Dolls were a strictly pop punk with a Cheap Trick kinda vibe type band.

They were playing the OK Hotel right along shows billed with Nirvana.

I was more into heavier stuff like Sanctuary, Metal Church, and Queensryche by the way.

My one vivid memory from Seattle was walking into a music store and hearing this guy cranking on a Marshall.

I asked the music store employees why this guy was playing terribly and so loud.

He said to me "That's the guitar player from Mudhoney"...  pfffft.
