10 Greatest MTV Unplugged Episodes

10. Hole

Nothing that Hole has put out in the past decades has really screamed classic status for any reason. Hell, even when Courtney Love was firing on all cylinders in the Live Through This days, her aggressive approach to heavy rock was always an acquired taste at the best of times. She did have at least one ace up her sleeve for the Unplugged performance though.

Going into a Hole Unplugged session, we were already treated to some pretty unique renditions of their songs, including some strange takes of tunes like Softer, Softest and Miss World. Towards the midpoint of the set, things start to take a bit of a different turn though, with Love taking a cue from her husband in more ways than one. Long before it became the Nirvana classic we know today, this was the first mainstream debut of the song You Know You're Right, with Love behind the mic adding the same ferocious delivery Kurt Cobain had on the Nirvana version.

Considering how well her husband's own Unplugged performance went, this was almost like Love harnessed a little bit of that magic for the world to see one last time. While it might be known more for its place in history nowadays, this is still a fantastic piece of rock that deserves a second look these days.
