thinking too much
Nevermind was good at the time. Bleach and In Utero are still great albums in my opinion and I'd still be listening to them if Nirvana had just fizzled out like many 90s bands.
Kurt Cobain....

The unplugged set was cool as fuck. Bleach is my favorite album by far, much punkier than the others. I rarely listen to Nirvana these days because I overplayed them when I was fifteen, but I still love them.

I thought bleach was a heavy metal album when it came out. I met Kurt at a Tad gig in Bristol I think (around the bleach time I guess). He was a right old mess. I didn't care much for his heavy metal so I think we just talked about Tad or something. Quite soon after that Sliver came out and I loved it and I for some reason wished I'd made a bit more of my rather lame chit chat.
I thought the unplugged stuff was rubbish.

I reckon kurt needed to die early. Nirvana were always one of those flash in the pan bands that would have got boring quickly and probabley gone up thier own arse at some point,. But the three albums they did produce were class.

Bleach was great, In Utero is alright, and Nevermind has become student indie night cheese.

Unplugged is fab - 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night' gives me goosebumps.
Nirvana were great - they blew me away when I saw them at Reading

Hugely overrated. Bleach was a lot better.

Agree with this. Bleach is by far my favourite Nirvana album.
I don't think many other bands or artists affected my generation (I was about 15 when Nevermind came out) like Nirvana did. End of story.
He was more like Bob Dylan meets John Lennon with a dash of Sid vicious...
I've heard this claim a lot and have never really understood it. Pixies were indie-pop. Nirvana were sort of metal-punk-garage. Really really different sound.
(Except possibly Teen Spirit itself which even they admitted was like the Pixies)
Aneurysm was their best song by a country mile.

anyone want to buy my unused In Utero Tour ticket for Brixton Academy?
never did get to see them live

The thing for me is that by making an album which was sort of in the middle between alternative and mainstream, they opened the door for me to loads of other music that I might not have ever heard of otherwise - Pixies, Sonic Youth, etc. Quite a lot of my friends have agreed with me on this...

Yeah i agree with that as well. Nevermind was the album that got me away from micheal jackson, price and ummm take that and into music. Im sure there would have been many other albums around that could have done the same thing but nevermind did it so yay nevermind.

You're right he was.

Not just the bands that they directed me towards but where those said bands have, in turn, taken me.
Goodness knows what crap I could be listening to now if it wasn't for some highly inspirational and musically life changing stuff I was listening to in my younger life.

Meh, my tortured rock star icon when I was a teenager was always Richey Manic more than Kurt Cobain. Richey had better outfits, better quotes, even less musical talent and a more original take on the classic slide towards self-destruction than Kurt. All of which is when you're fifteen and you hate everything.
I mean, rock star suicide has been done to death (sorry) but just vanishing off the face of the earth? Genius
