"Come as You Are" by Nirvana, featured a riff similar to "Eighties". Nirvana and their management company were unsure about releasing the song as a single from their 1991 studio album, 'Nevermind'. Danny Goldberg, head of their management team, later revealed that "we couldn't decide between "Come as You Are" and "In Bloom." Kurt [Cobain] was nervous about "Come as You Are" because it was too similar to a Killing Joke song but we all thought it was still the better song to go with. And, he was right, Killing Joke later did complain about it"
